Middle linebacker Luke Kuechly is the heart and soul of the the Carolina Panthers defense. A defense that is going to have to step up again this weekend against the Houston Texans. The defense will have to come up with two game plans. One for Arian Foster playing and another with Arian Foster not being in the lineup.
If Luke is not in the lineup that cuts out one of the better run stoppers in the NFL. He did not finish last week’s game against the Jaguars and he still had 7 solo tackles and a sack. That is a significant body of work for just part of the game.
