Said he's got the toughness and the mean streak like Jack.

good comparison. I loved how Luke got some props from his fellow pass rusher last night too. After being revealed as the #1 player in the league, JJ Watt was asked who he thought should have been in the top 10 with him. And impromptu, first player that came to his mind was Luke Kuechly. I cheered

The fact that people hate Watt on here is disgusting.  Watt is an absolute monster, and dude came from nothing to something.  There is one player I would trade Luke for straight up, and that's Watt.  That's literally it.

Olsen was on the radio yesterday and commented on this out of nowhere (he was not asked). Luke's position is more important to the defense than Watt's. MLB is involved in more plays and cannot really be avoided. He said you can run away from Watt, you can avoid throwing near Revis but you cannot avoid Luke. I would not trade him for any defensive player. I probably wouldn't trade him for any player period since I'm happy with Cam.

That's cool, Watt was ranked number 1 for a reason.  He changes games.  I would trade him for Luke in a heartbeat.

Luke's not as vicious as Lambert.  I think level of play is comparable, as is competitiveness and toughness.  But Jack Lambert was a mean SOB whose style of play would draw lots of flags in today's NFL.  To me, not a good comparison.

Without Luke, our Defense wouldn't be what it is today.  both infront and behind him.  Watt controls his area of the line...nothing else.  He is a foot solider in the army of a defense, Luke is the General.

toughness . yeah

tackling ability yeah

coverage ability yeah

meanstreak?  No.  But todays game is different.

 

I saw Lambert play with the Steelers in the 70s and 80s as part of the steel curtain and outside of mean Joe Greene, he was the most intimidating guy on their defense.  He was an in your face kind of guy who likes to hit and hurt folks.  I would agree with you that their skill sets are similar but Luke is not as mean or intimidating as Lambert.  You are right that the game has changed quite a bit and guys like Lambert would not have been able to play today the way they did back then.  That is why it is hard to compare guys who played in different generations.

Yeah, because the Texans defense besides Watt is nasty or something.

      BB building a NFL caliber program. We training entirely different. The guys we had this year will be stronger, smarter, faster. The transfers are coming.    Im more worried about the QB position. We have to hit on that guy.

      Goalies on the Radar

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3162765/report-forsberg-vejmelka-vladar-on-hurricanes-radar The Carolina Hurricanes are eyeing a trio of goaltenders to fortify their depth between the pipes. Ottawa's Anton Forsberg, Utah's Karel Vejmelka, and Calgary's Dan Vladar are on Carolina's radar, reports The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun. However, none of those teams are in sell mode yet and might not be at all depending on how their seasons go, LeBrun notes. All three goalies are pending unrestricted free agents. Forsberg has posted an .889 save percentage in 11 games with the Senators this campaign as Linus Ullmark's backup. The 32-year-old journeyman previously spent time in Raleigh during in 2019-20. Vejmelka has emerged as Utah's starter this season, registering a sparkling .915 save percentage in 17 appearances. Vladar has struggled with an .885 save percentage in 16 games while sharing the Flames' crease with Dustin Wolf. The Canes also reportedly spoke to the Anaheim Ducks about John Gibson after missing out on Mackenzie Blackwood, who was dealt to the Colorado Avalanche on Dec. 9. Pyotr Kochetkov has struggled with an .895 save percentage in 18 games as Carolina's No. 1 goalie this season. Veteran netminder Frederik Andersen hasn't played since October and was given an eight-week timeline after undergoing knee surgery in late November.

      I haven’t seen him play, but if he doesn’t get separation and he’s slow, that doesn’t sound like a top 5 WR
