Great players rarely make great coaches. But I just don't see Luke's dry personality translating well to the microphone. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see it.

Agreed, but what made Luke great was his football knowledge and attention to detail. Those are things that translate well to coaching.

Broadcasting though? Luke as a talking head doesn't make sense to me at all, especially after seeing his commercials.

Olsen's definitely got the necessary charisma and the gift of gab. Kuechly? Not so much.

The bar is pretty low for color commentary from what I've seen. Lukes insights would be great for a game. Couldn't be much worse than Moose and Barber's comments. Definitely won't be Romo or Chucky though.

Kuechly also confirms that the decision was pretty much made by the end of last season.

 

He really must have been dealing with a lot if he already knew at last year's end. Yes he might not have been the best last year but he was still a top MLB. Not many lose the love of the game like that.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
