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.

      Dane Brugler from The Athletic 2-round cock draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.

      Will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. The Boston game seemed to open the flood gates of media attention. And it’s not just that they’re playing well, in some instances they are getting compared with all time greats. This is still a young team, and it would be easy for an immature team to lose some focus, buy into their own hype, and think they can coast bit. The Heat are a middle of the road team without their leading scorer. There is no big dragon to slay, no big statement to make. I think we’ll learn a lot tonight: are they young but mature, or do they still have a ways to go mentally?

      Panthers North for the win. Good luck to him. Great guy, hated to see him leave here, but he's about to work with the best QB he's ever worked with (at least on a regular basis).
