Luke Kuechly 2nd in tackles for loss

Kuechly has 16 tackles for loss so far, 2nd in the league behind Donald who has 20. Just came across this stat which surprised me considered how much his play has been criticized this year. There isn't even another 4-3 LB in the top 10.

People expect him to be omnipresent and are looking for any reason they can to explain our defense underperforming. Sure he’s not pulling down 6 interceptions this season but he’s not the one who’s fallen off and sure as hell isnt to blame for this defenses’ woes.

He's still the best linebacker in the league. and its not even close

People are slurping over Wagner this year and even in a "down" year for Luke he still has more tackles, TFL, sacks and the same number of interceptions. It's laughable that this is even a discussion 

Not this year. Homer glasses are on.

Wagner has been hands down the best LB in the league this year. Luke earlier in the year was misdiagnosing plays, missing tackles, missing reads, and overall trying to do too much.

I think the majority of it had to do with Washington, as he has looked much better recently. He's definitely looked more like Luke the past few weeks, but for a while there I was surprised and concerned.

That's because most people on here don't know poo about football.

They don't even watch it to even begin to know it. Just watch the Panthers actually thinking we will win every game by several TDs and blame the refs for every loss. When you actually watch football you see that the refs usually fug up all the time in all the games.

He's the same player he has always been, he uses his film watching and instincts with a wicked first step to disrupt plays. When he's right (which he is most of the time) he gets to ball near the Los. When he guesses wrong the team gets gashed because a bunch of players aren't fitting their gap responsibility

    • Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.  
    • Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.     
    • Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
