Rugby Player Reacts to LUKE KUECHLY (LB, Panthers) #24 The NFL's Top 100 Players of 2019!

Sup! Welcome back to my KZbin channel. I hope you're having a great day!
In this video I continue my way down the list of The NFL's Top 100 Players of 2019, reacting to each player along the way and I hope you're enjoying the series as much as I enjoyed creating it.
You will find many videos on this channel titled "Rugby Player Reacts" and in these videos I give my unbiased, unfiltered reaction to the best of American Football, through the eyes of a rugby player.
I see the similarities everywhere but I'm still trying to work out an effective way to convey that lol. Bridging these two sports has been my ultimate mission over the last 18 months and I've absolutely loved it.
I was born in New Zealand where sport is huge and rugby is everything. I love rugby and it's been a massive part of my life since the age of 5. Now at 28 after spending the last 4 years doing my best to spread the sport across KZbin, I've decided to take on the giant that is American Football! At the very least, from a fan's perspective, but ultimately I want to finish my sporting career playing gridiron somewhere having successfully bridged the gap.
I played rugby from the age of 5 to 13 and then soccer for my high school years from 13 to 18 which I regret to this day but it is what it is. At 18 I picked up rugby again because I knew I had something more to give and now after an interesting 10 years on Earth here we are.
In this video I take a look at #24 on the list of The NFL's Top 100 Players of 2019, LUKE KUECHLY! (Linebacker, Carolina Panthers)
Thanks for watching and much love!

Middle linebacker isn't going to be a position that gets tons of sacks because they don't usually rush the quarterback, but they will be getting tons of regular tackles.

[@ben9262]

Kuechly is easily one of the smartest minds in football. He reads offenses like Brady reads defenses

[@coolyourbeandip]

I don’t get why people rush to dislike these vids

[@ben9262]

Best Linebacker in the league easily. Should have been ranked higher for sure

[@SliceofBread123]

BWagz is #1

[@nalimlattarai2873]

ben wagner

[@ikkix54]

Khalil Mack by a mile

[@pcs54]

@@SliceofBread123 Nah, wagner has never been as good as kuelchy.

[@SliceofBread123]

Mo S He’s sure got more to show for it though. He was the leader of one of the most dominant defenses in recent memory.

[@TheradoneV1]

Wentz wasn't about to hand the ball off, it was a play action pass, Mike Adams was pass rushing, and the running back picked up his blitz as a blocker. That allowed Luke to shoot the gap and sack Wentz without being blocked.

[@TheBeelzboss]

Don't let the rating fool you (he missed games from injury) Luke is the best linebacker in the league bar none

[@jimmywhites1]

Bobby Wagner ?

[@ben9262]

Colin Allen Luke is better

[@jimmywhites1]

ben u got stats to prove it ?

[@mowgli8480]

@@ben9262 madden ratings says different lol... I dunno, they both beasts. Mos def the 2 best MLBs tho

[@ben9262]

Colin Allen Most tackles in his first 8 seasons by any player in NFL history and he’s only 2 games into his eighth season. He’s also way smarter. Only reason people think Wagner is better is he’s on a better team. Luke is also way smarter and can read offenses on an entirely different level

[@davidnoel2977]

Luke is the man. Awesome reaction Jacob. Burn one for me. Much love and respect from here in Mobile, Alabama, USA

[@dbfan9042]

Like Kuechly should be far higher. He’s gunna be a top 3 ILB of all time EASILY. Absolute monster

[@jcvtrt6721]

React to NFL Film Session Series, an ex player sits down with top players today and just breakdown film. It's on the NFL official youtube channel.

[@ponokunitomo7700]

Damn that was a long look at the first play

[@jackkrichilsky]

All you have to do is watch one panthers game (any) to see what this guy is about. He runs the whole show, calls defensive audibles, moves d lineman in the right position, diagnoses and goes and makes the play himself

[@simeonteitelbaum3673]

Middle linebackers in a 4-3 defense rarely blitz so thats why he has few sacks. He is as complete a linebacker as you'll find though. He's not just an enforcer, a playbook master with incredible vision and instincts but he's got legit 4.5 speed. No weaknesses

[@richfarrell4255]

There is an amazon prime series called all or nothing and the last season followed the panthers. You can see Kuechly watching and breaking down film in the series.

[@JFizzle213]

NFL.com has a series on KZbin which has specific players breakdown plays. They're absolutely brilliant, you will learn so much.

[@KaednKing]

Keep in mind pro bowls are mostly a popularity contest nowadays. First team all pro is what shows you who the real monsters are. That is not an easy thing to make. Even second team all pro is insane players.

[@comradecrawdaddy3343]

Watch the All or Nothing series on Amazon Prime Video. They did a season with The 2018 Carolina Panthers. You learn more about Luke and just how smart he is watching that Amazon series

[@alexanderrose1071]

Ray Lewis was the linebacker version of Peyton Manning. He knew EVERYTHING that was going to happen before the play started. Him and Manning (also Brady) had some great matchups. Ray would change the play to fit what the offense was doing. Peyton would see that and change the play. Then Ray would change the defense again. Over and over. Just a chess match between the two. I still remember Ray on the sidelines of a University of Maryland game watching I think his brother or cousin play. He was being interviewed. He stopped the interview midway and told the reporter what the offense was about to do. He was right. That wasn’t even his opponent. He just knew based on all the football he had analyzed.

[@craige.1712]

Spot on for someone learning the game!! Keep on keeping on !!!

[@5thgearpinned285]

My absolute favourite player

[@BrockMak]

Kuechly, to me, has to be a hybrid between a shorter flanker/no. 8, a tall defensive halfback like a taller George Gregan of Australia, and a defensive no. 12 like Ma'a Nonu. Ball skills desirable.

[@drealboy_]

So to answer your questions in regards to how Mike Adam's indirectly helped get luke that sack on the first play is number 1 u have to understand football players can't just do whatever they want. What I mean is that was a play designed and called for Mike Adam's to blitz off the edge. The running back(who's assignment is to block any extra pass rusher on this particular play) recognizes the blitz is coming. Meanwhile it was Kuechlys job on this play to guard the RB. So in short he quickly diagnosis' that his man is preoccupied with Adam's and that leaves him an open lane directly to the qb. I hope that explanation helps

[@HTxGhost24]

He's got great speed for a linebacker, his sideline to sideline speed sets him apart as well as his mind

[@mione134]

The pride of Boston College! Luuuuuke!

[@BrockMak]

2012 was when I was gunning on offense with Rich Gannon, just starting out with Manning to Marvin Harrison.

[@troysteel1072]

The Carolina Panthers are playing in London October 13th vs the Tampa bay bucs

[@disciplewhomjesusloves4195]

The rb went to go block the safety and when luke seen that he new he had the open lane

[@drealboy_]

3:57 no. This is called play-action. The qb fakes the handoff to draw the lbs closer in hopes that a receiver can get some room over the middle of the field. That was particular play. Every football play on offense and defense is calculated. The coaches or playing chess. They hope they call the right plays at the right time and then of course the players execute it properly.

[@bolts4012]

The best place to watch someone break down film is brent kollmann i highly recommend

[@BrockMak]

5:20 Finally, someone with meaningful Chinese vocab as tatoos. It means 'To be humble/humility'.

[@robertdedrick7937]

All players watch film to try and figure out what the opponent is going to do. (Formations, personel groups, down & distance) Luke is just better at it than most players. Every week NFL teams watch film, come up with a counter plan to what they watched on film, then practice that plan for the game .

[@catdaddychris666]

Hes awesome, reminds me of Chris Spielman

[@d-pap6525]

You should pause the video some more

[@Dularr]

You should watch some Tony Romo called games. He keeps calling the play before the snap.

[@Jiwizard17]

if you know who Lawrence Taylor is you should look up Michael Strahan as a Giants fan he never disappoint every Sunday when I was a kid and you should look at Jeremy Shockey

[@maxmartinez7856]

Can you fo the NFL films top 100 greatest plays

[@jaimeredrayo]

Waaaay too much pausing on this

[@hollywoodduncan8413]

Baldy film breakdown

[@gerry3RS]

Watch Baldy’s breakdowns. He sits down with players and they go over film of plays they made throughout the season. The player goes into detail about what they see, what they’re thinking, and how they react. It’s pretty great.

[@IQGUARDIANGuardian]

It sucks that he’s retired

[@henriquesartori3689]

Damm I can iron that shirt for you

[@javierrod4072]

Bro I just met an other type of stupid

[@scottthomas8376]

Too much pausing and obsessing over if he colors his hair.

[@DoritoSammich]

This has to be one of the worst reaction videos. He was more curious about his hair color then his play.

[@berryboi2313]

You can't be considered a top player if you can't stay on the field. Bobby > Luke

[@mcleanstudios2366]

C MONEY Bobby has played 1 more career game than Luke. Luke is the most dominant MLB in the game.
