Nice Article On Luke

Jon Beason had seen it before from Luke Kuechly — a seemingly bogus penalty called on him followed by a huge play. Though Beason has misremembered some of the details, the gist of the story remains the same, and it's that you do not want to tick off his fellow Carolina Panthers linebacker.

Last season, in a Week 16 game against the Oakland Raiders, Kuechly snapped his head around and got a great pass-drop to tackle Darrius Heyward-Bey as he caught the ball. The only problem was he was somehow flagged for unnecessary roughness despite one of the cleanest hits a linebacker could make on a defenseless receiver. Two plays later, Kuechly shot the gap to level Darren McFadden in the hole. Kuechly got right up and pointed at the injured Beason, who had told him from the sideline to not let the penalty throw him off his game.

here is another article on nfl.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000232923/article/luke-kuechly-dominates-first-half-for-carolina-panthers

 

Carolina Panthers veteran Jon Beason already has anointed Luke Kuechly "the best in the league" at middle linebacker.

 

If the first half of Thursday night's 34-27 preseason victory over the reigning Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens is a sign of things to come, Kuechly even might give J.J. Watt a serious run for top defensive player in the NFL.

 

Middle linebacker can't be played better than Kuechly did in racking up seven tackles, a forced fumble, an interception and two passes defensed over two quarters. He was everywhere. Check out the play below in which Kuechly was shot out of a cannon to separate Ravens running back Bernard Pierce from the ball.

    • I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can. 
    • My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.
    • In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
