What happened to Ken Lucas?

Back in '05, we were talking about how he was arguably the best corner in the league and was completely screwed out of a Pro Bowl spot. He had receivers on lockdown that year.

Now he's the Keary Colbert of cornerbacks. The David Carr of defenders. Even worse than Jason David.

What do you think happened? To be honest, the '06 and '07 seasons are repressed in my memories, so I don't remember how he played then. But I know that he was playing at least decently earlier this season.

But yet Chris Gamble has really really improved. He's had the same coaches that Lucas and Marshall have. How do you all explain that?

That style of play fits Gamble better than Lucas. Ideally we would have Gamble hang back and Lucas play up on the receiver, but that obviously didn't happen.

I would beg to differ on that point.. I think Gamble did a lot of improving on his own... Like it was mentioned, our scheme benefits Gamble more, in that he can sit back and watch the play develop more...

remember when we were so happy about tim lewis because the Panthers hadn't had a dpi yet in the season?

why didn't any of us think that was because no corner was ever within five yards of a receiver before they made the catch?

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
