re: Keuchly Knows the Saints’ Plays/Offense. Called them out all night.

You are blind if you think he’s average. He’s easily top 5.

why??? As mentioned the two things people point out when showing his highlights are effort (running to make a tackle in the secondary after a RB gashed them) or his off the charts football knowledge (pointing at the offense and making adjustments....which every linebacker in the NFL does) He is essentially the QB of a defense that after looking it up is ranked 16th....which is dead middle of the league.... average. I'll concede that he is an above average linebacker so I misspoke calling him just average.... but he does nothing in my mind to get the attention he gets. Last night he made some excellent reads and tackles. He also never got pressure and was gashed for big plays for both kamara and ingram because he was out of place.
