Right now.

updates/notes:

Luke thinks we need to finish games. Need to play 4 quarters consistently. As the season progressed they took a big step forward. The experience of the tough losses early in the year are a learning process and mentions learning from experience. Mentions making a stop in the Washington game at the end. They took some bumps and bruises but the defense took pride in getting a stop and helping to get wins as the season continued.

Talks about his pick 6 against Miami in college and thinks his best plays this season were against Oakland. Pressure got to the quarterback and allowed him to make a play and get an int. Most comfortable playing inside because of his experience there. Hadn't played outside and once he got to the middle was more comfortable and felt at home.

Believes a rookie could come in and add depth on defense because we had some young guys that played well...and wants to have a good defensive line in front of him. Says it would be great to add a big body in front of him, Thomas, and James. Laughs about Cam being bigger than all of the LBers and being bigger than defensive ends and tight ends.

Being asked about adding a WR in free agency or the draft: Thinks it would help a lot. Would like to add another burner to make the offense that much more dangerous.

Asked what he prepared most for in the combine: On-field stuff...40, cone drills, foot drills and technique. Said he was asked some strange questions for instance "what is the weirdest question you have been asked at the combine?" But nothing was too off the wall with him in particular. Couple of teams messed with him by showing him highlights of missed plays to see how he would react and if he could explain himself.

Interviewers joked at the end about how Luke racked up 10 tackles during the brief interview. Overall probably lasted 5 minutes or so. Luke looked like Clark Kent per usual with his clean cut look and glasses and the two doing the interview were hyping him up. Nice to get some air time and coverage for a Panther's player.

That's all I got.

Yup.

They asked him what he thought his best play was in his rookie season - he said the interception against Oakland as it enabled the offense to go down and score a TD just before the half - changing momentum.

They asked him what direction the Panthers should go in this draft - he was careful to not single out any of his teammates as needing upgraded/replaced, but he did say that as a LB you always like to have big DTs up front. They also asked him how much it would help if we added a WR like Mike Wallace and he complimented Smith, Lafell, Olsen, and Murphy but said that we can always benefit from more "depth." He gave very politically correct responses.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
