Adam Schein - Luke Leading DPOY

[h0llywood]

 

 

1) Luke Kuechly, middle linebacker, Carolina Panthers

 

I love this cat. He's a born leader and a tackling machine. Kuechly is the heart, soul and pulse of the overachieving Panthers. He's the MVP of the 6-3 squad and the biggest reason why Carolina currently ranks second in both total and scoring defense.

 

In last week's 10-9 statement win at San Francisco, Kuechly led the charge with a game-high 11 tackles, logging a key sack in crunch time. On the season, the spectacular and steady Kuechly has 75 tackles, three impressive picks and five passes defensed.

 

I talked to Kuechly on Monday on my SiriusXM Radio show, "Schein on Sports," following his dominant performance against the 49ers. Kuechly credits current teammates Thomas Davis and Jordan Senn -- as well as former teammates James Anderson and (especially) Jon Beason -- for showing him the ropes as a young player. When I mentioned him as a favorite for Defensive Player of the Year, Kuechly said, "It would be a tremendous honor. For me, it's just one of those things you look back and all the guys that have won the award and it's just awesome. But I just want to concentrate each week on just playing football and doing my job and trying to win games, and the rest will take care of itself."

I think it's consistently wrong how some NFL teams have devalued middle linebacker. Kuechly says it would mean a lot for the position if he won. He currently has my vote.

Kudos for Luke for leading this dominant defense and team. Hopefully he maintains his place on this ranking because it will mean the team will as well. BTW. Schein is still an idiot.

In the end the biggest contribution Jon Beason may have given the Panthers was mentoring Luke his rookie year and quickly getting him up to speed.

Beason seemed very selfless in his treatment of Keek.  Beas will always be a Panther.
