Quote:Yes it did. And right now, Luke appears to be on the same timetable (if he gets there). The thing with Eugene is that he struggled with quick pass rushers, but he held his own, even dominate the big/strong ends like Watt, Mario Williams, Allen. Even his first year, he was able to do that. Eugene was pretty powerful.

 

Right now? Luke struggles against quick rushers AND gets bulldozed by strong ends. He's pretty average.

 

Don't quote me on this, but wasn't Joeckel billed as a "technician" coming out of college? When I read/hear that about an athlete (wrestlers aside), I think of a Sean Considine-type. Someone who knows what they should be doing almost without question but their body doesn't necessarily have the ability to fully execute what their mind tells them they need to do.

 

If so, what Luke needs is strength and agility training. Then again, I could be off in Bizarro world again making random stuff up...as I'm prone to do at times.  weat:
