Despite playing in Ron’s scheme that allows his lb’s to get mauled...
With seven tackles Sunday, Luke Kuechly surpassed 100 tackles for the eighth straight year. He's the fifth player since NFL started tracking them to reach 100 tackles eight years in a row.

our defense (before this dumb switch to a 3-4 hybrid) was predominantly a 4-3 based around having great LB play, 2013 was arguably the best LB duo ever statistically. luke has been greatily helped by ron's scheme, not hurt by it.

He was referring to this season, which is an awful scheme and has contributed directly to Luke looking awful at times.

Sadly, he looks out of place out there.  A lot of tackles are several yards down the field, and he's getting exposed in the passing game.

I can’t calm down

regarding the 3-4 switch i still have no idea why ron thought that'd be a good move, hate on him as much as you'd like to but the man was a great defensive playcaller and it's like he's almost too nice to call plays and wants the team ran like the team he played for (the bears) where ditka was just a motivator and the coordinators did a lot of the heavy lifting. when he took the reigns from washington last year he held the aints to 12 points and if i recall we had one of the better defenses in terms of point allowed in that stretch. i've never quite gotten it, he's let inept clowns like eric washington, and ok but not as good as rivera playcallers like wilks call the defense ever since mcdermott left and became a top 10 coach in the league.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
