Kuechly = better defense

On the positive side of today's loss the defense has improved drastically over the last couple weeks with Kuechly at mlb. he is a tackling machine and practically neutralized forte single-handedly after that first td. we have a new leader of this defense.

I have been pleased with Kuechly's play since he moved to the middle and took over the D. He has the potential to be a superstar in this league.

D overall has looked a lot better recently. As disappointed as I am in the O I am equally happy with the improvement on D. Lots of progress to be made there but they are showing up to play.

Kuchely is not only a great defender but has a great body as well and I can see him in the league for 10-15 years with little injury history. It was a great pick and the right pick considering the other choices at the time have failed to impress (Fletcher Cox, Stefon Gilmore, Melvin Ingram, Dontari Poe, Michael Brockers have all had little to no impact on the game, only Bruce Irvin should be considered as the pick besides Kuechly in a redraft)

    • his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen. 
    • Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.
    • Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
