What's up with Luke?


Ricky Spanish

Recommended Posts

I was at the game yesterday and I couldn't tell you if Luke even recorded a tackle. Not once did I hear the crowd yell out "LUUUUUUUUUKE". His play, to me at least, has been a significant step down from what it has been in the past so far this year. Is it Washington? Has Luke lost a step? Is it TD being out? Am I taking crazy pills and it's all in my head?

Anyone else notice this or am I alone in my concern?

Luke had two tackles a sack yesterday.  Barkley was ineffective running the ball and Giants cause all damage thru the air to their WRs.  I would hope Luke don’t have to cover WRs.  Luke played zone in the middle on passing downs and Giants threw the ball via slant or very deep.

    • I will say, I'm not a Bryce hater.  I have seen definite improvement in his play the past few weeks.  Hopefully he builds on it and becomes an elite qb.  In the back of my mind though there is a little voice that says, maybe this is mostly Canales and if he can do this with a player as limited physically as Bryce, what could he do with a young qb who doesn't have as many limitations.    That said, it is probably actually a combination of everything and you've got to give credit to Bryce for coming back from the benching looking the best he ever has. 
    • Yeah that is highly accurate. I'm sure he did something decent but almost everywhere you look it was bad. I'm on board with judging Morgan for what happens under his authority, when it is his rep on the line with these decisions. They made the right decision on Burns this year, and Burns pushed them to it. For 5 mil less per season we might still have him, so I appreciate Burns for going the extra mile with the greed.
    • I do think it's best not to get excited - as you highlight, we've seen great games here and there from otherwise mediocre QBs. But, it's also important to remember the context. That was one of CMC's many combined 100+ yard games for us (close to 150 with 2 total TDs if I recall). While a lot of us acknowledge TB was a decent veteran but not the answer, the point was he WAS a veteran and by the end of that season we knew his ceiling. The hope with Bryce is he continues to grow. Worth taking a look at how different the passing charts are, too... All but 8 throws basically within 5 yards of the LoS. 8 throws beyond 10 yards, and with 49 attempts!   vs Only 4 of BY's throws were behind the LoS, Nearly half his passes were beyond 10 yards. Just a very different depth of target selection.  Bryce was threatening all over the field. Fwiw, Bryce's TD % this year is pretty close to Teddy's that year - but that's including the two terrible games he started. Over the last 4 games, he's above it, so let's see if he can keep that up.
