Kuechly On Sports Science Espn

[Snake]

First off we are not talking pass rush we are talking blitzing and that is almost all scheme and surprise. So no we don't need a Jack Linebacker who is going to put his hand in the dirt we need a 4-3linebacker who will blitz. But thank you for playing....

If you think a Jack LB puts his hand in the dirt that pretty much tells me why you have no concept of the LB position.

[CRA]

Yep no reason to focus on a part of a game that is critical to our system. Makes total since to draft a two down LB at 9.

If you think Luke is a 2 down LB.....you don't know what a 2 down LB is.

[CRA]

Smh pass rushing is a ability not something that can be easily taught and our scheme is heavily dependent on LBs that can blitz. Its why we need a Jack LB more than a ILB.

And you need to learn the difference between asking a LB to a pass rusher vs blitz. They aren't the same thing.

Also, Beason would likely be asked to blitz often more than Luke..... Something he hasn't been asked to do in the past

[Snake]

If you think Luke is a 2 down LB.....you don't know what a 2 down LB is.

Not for his coverage ability but for his blitzing. What your going to ask Beason or TD to ride the pine so a LB with no blitzing skills can take there place? I don't think so. If we still ran a cover 2 then no problem but not with our system.

Davis talk is silly. Done.

Beason has no ability to blitz per your logic....so I don't understand what you are suggesting he will be doing

No it's you who needs the lesson. You keep trying to mask the fact that the dude is not a complete LB and are failing horribly at it. So now you have Beason shifting from. MLB to will just so your pick will fit? Now that's laughable.

Last time I checked he was still on the roster and not retired.

I am not the one who doesnt understand there is a difference between asking someone to be a pass rusher vs blitz.

Luke and Beason can both play either OLB or MLB. Point is having them both on the field....would make Carolina better. Talent wins.....not building a roster by drafting lesser talent bc you think it meets need

Bob Sanders was on a lot of rosters as well. When a players body is done....it is done. Cant count in Davis for anything

You didn't address what Beason will be doing....or is that bc you only apply Luke logic to Luke?

[Pantherman]

Where in the hell did you find all of the different avatars that you use.....they look like they came from :lol: .

McShay now has Kuechly going 5 to TB...

[bbell21]

What happens when we get Luke K, replaces TD at outside? or replaces Beason in the middle? If he can truly play outside which seems like a waste of Luke K's true mlb talent I am fine with it. What do you guys think if we pick him does he start day 1 at middle or outside?

[Snake]

christ. How many times do we have to explain that his scheme did not call for him to rush the passer, especially as a MLB.

Just because his coaches didnt blitz him does not mean that he cant blitz.

Besides, even if he doesnt rush the passer in the NFL, his good pursuit and coverage skills make him dependable to clean up any plays that get by if we rush other players like CB and other LBs.

We could have just kept Dan Connor if we wanted the player you just described.

Dan Conner does not have even near the talent and measurables 9not to mention stats) that Kuechly has.
