Kuechly may be the best defensive player on the team already.

I still don't like that he does not have that killer mind set. I saw on one play where he had a chance to blow up the RB and he let up and the guy got an extra yard on the play. His nose for the ball is uncanny but he does not like to destroy players.

Well, Luke projects as a better MLB than Beason....if Luke reaches his potential it is ony a matter of when, not if he becomes the MLB.

As I said before when people were hating on the thought of drafting him......people would fall in love with this kid in preseason when forced to watch him. When he plays a full season.....people will get over the thought Beason is owed the MLB spot. Luke is a MLB. If he is what he projects.....he will do the job better than Beason.

not saying he will spend his whole career outside, he will probably man the middle at some point i just don't expect it to be anytime soon. gross didn't assume the LT postion for quite awhile even though we drafted him to protect the qb's blind side

No doubt that Beason is the fire on the defense, the unquestioned leader when on the field. Luke seems more like the silent assassin. Quiet and unassuming, yet incredible awareness and savvy for seeing the gaps, anticipating the action, getting to the damn ball and wrapping up with the arms. Let's not forget the RB's who would make it to the second level last year kept bouncing off of shoulder shots from our secondary. This guy knows tackling fundamentals and that is refreshing.

Beason is the fire and Luke is the ice. Seeing these two on the field together will be awesome. Get well Beast!

Gross wasn't the best LT prospect to come out in a decade though......

I know what you mean, but his play will decrease his chances of getting hurt. As long as he can get to the ball we have plenty of other guys ready to do damage (Beason,Davis,Johnson,Hardy,Godfrey,Norman). I did see one nice lick he put on somebody wrapped up already.

He popped Greene several times. Not every tackle is a madden hit stick bro. He had 10 tackles in 1 half. No need to nit pick about him hitting harder. The thing about Luke once he gets his hands on the guy they go down almost every time. The play is over once he's there.

Meh some just have it and some don't. Ray Lewis has been hitting people hard for years and he is no worse for ware. I'm not knocking the kid, he is going to make a whole lot of good plays and on goal line plays he has not given a inch so I'm not real worried.

No one said this is madden and I'm not your bro, bro. A better word would be he wrapped up green several times and if I were to nit pick I would say he also miss tackled Green twice.

true, but my point is we had a player at gross position who had pro bowl caliber talent & still had some tread left, even after he was gone we tried wharton at LT for awhile
