So, according to PFF Kuechly is struggling

Recommended Posts

 

In his first 5 games, Luke Kuechly had 24 defensive stops w a +6.0 @PFF grade. In his last 3, he has just 4 stops w a -5.9 grade

I don't think Kuechly is struggling imo, it's just that the DT's are making the stops for him. 

 

Other stats

 
  • Cam Newton had 0 completions and 2 INTs on 6 deep passes yesterday, but a 85.2 comp% and 117.4 QB rating on all other passes.

 

Great job by the Panthers O-line yesterday. Cam Newton was pressured on a career-low 21.1% of his drop backs.

Star Lotulelei bolstering his case for Def Rookie of the Year. He now has the 3rd-highest run defense grade of any DT. #Panthers

Gonzo burnt the poo out of him in on that TD. Not that it wouldnt happen to many others, but still, he had a very good day against imo and that should impact Luke.

 

Said it elsewhere: that wasn't Luke's fault. Mikell was supposed to be bracketing Gonzo high, but he went off the grid.

 

Now, in the run game, Luke has been having issues getting off blocks. One of Jackson's big runs that got Atlanta off the goal line came from Luke getting manhandled. It's something he still has to work on.

Most people including me were saying that cam didn't really have a bad game yesterday. Other than the deep passes cam played really well. I'm glad pff backed up my feelings on it. Regarding luke, yeah he has seemed to hit a wall. I just hope he breaks through it because we will need him now going forward more than ever.

Two things,

 

  1. the front 4 is sooo much better we aren't relying on Luke to make every play in the gaps.
  2. teams are scheming him and using gimmicks to keep him off the ball.

 

 

I'm not saying that I agree with their assessment but their assessment is not based on numbers of tackles.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
