I was watching the game last night (actually 330am) and they brought up that Aiden Fisher calls out the plays the other team is running.  This of course reminded me of Luke.  I haven't followed Indiana football at all but I wonder that the Huddle thinks of him as a future Panther Linebacker

Aiden Fisher's pro prospects are promising, with a strong track record of performance and potential for success in the NFL. His ability to read the game and make plays with precision, combined with his leadership and physicality, make him a valuable asset to any defense. Fisher's development at Indiana and his selection as a first-team All-Big Ten linebacker in 2024 further solidify his status as a top prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft

 

Thoughts?

Fisher is kind of little, about 6'1" 230.  They say not real fast.  But I have watched 3 games of his this year and he always seams to be in the right spot.  Reminds me alot of London Fletcher more than anyone.  He seems real smart and has a way of sifting through traffic and slipping blocks.  Most places has him in the 3rd to 5th round area.

He's not Luke.  Luke was much bigger and faster than Fisher.  He is not anywhere near where Luke is in coverage right now but Luke was not that good in coverage his first 2 years in the league and he improved a bunch so if he is willing to work on it maybe.  

In short, solid, small linebacker, will probably play for several years in the NFL.  Will probably never be a star and is not Luke, but could be very good with a little work.

Instincts, study/preparation and being able to read a play make up for a lot with regards to playing speed. There's always going to be guys that win the straight up foot race, but hopefully your LBs are containing that so you don't have those huge break away plays.

Identical  height and weight as Thomas Davis coming out of Georgia.

I'm staring to do research on the off ball linebacker class this year because I think we need a captain of the defense like the Luke days. Sonny Styles, Anthony Hill, CJ Allen are some names to keep an eye on. These guys seem to have the same traits of being instinctive, playmakers, and solid tacklers like Luke.

This is what I have been saying.  We need that QB for the defense.  Someone who can diagnose the offense before the ball is snapped.  Luke was one of a kind but having a stud QB on defense in the middle will improve our defense greatly.

Check out Cincinnati's Golday.   I am seeing Lukish qualities (smarts, size, speed, etc)

Most of those guys will be available at oue 2nd round pick too.

      Raiders interviewing Panthers DC Ejiro Evero for a second time next week

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      The Raiders have completed a second interview with Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The team has complied with the Rooney Rule after interviewing Evero and former Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, who appears headed to the Chargers as offensive coordinator. That allows the Raiders to hire a new coach at any time. Evero has served as the Panthers’ defensive coordinator since 2023, first taking the job under former head coach Frank Reich. While Carolina finished at the bottom of the league defensively in 2024, Evero helped turn the unit around to finish No. 16 in yards and No. 15 in points allowed in 2025. Evero has coordinated two top-10 defenses — first with what the Broncos in 2022 (No. 7 in yards allowed) and then with the Panthers in 2023 (No. 4 in yards allowed). He has also worked for the 49ers, Packers and Rams. The Raiders also have Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak, Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula and Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb among their candidates. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/raiders-complete-second-interview-with-panthers-dc-ejiro-evero

      This is the way. He’s no Luke, but who is? Golday is one of my draft crushes. I’d love him in the 2nd.

      No, he mainly talked about rarely getting to see him and not begging him for tickets. He did state that he had to pay 1/2 price for his tickets to our game. He is Alex father’s brother. He was a nice guy, drank grey goose with me. He showed me some pictures of Alex taking picture with fans and family. Neat experience. The board member talked a lot about the arena and projects that are way behind. The Willis incident was random and happened towards the end of the first period. Willis is pretty stout. Other than that, more storm brews and a 2-1 win, it was a great day. I’m am curious what happened to Primo subs, anyone know?
