Andrew Luck's trash talk (merge)

Andrew Luck’s legend is growing.

 

Sure, there’s buzz about how he has thrown for more yards in his first three seasons than anyone in NFL history. Or the fact he’s led the Indianapolis Colts to the playoffs in each of his NFL seasons, after clinching a spot this year with Sunday’s win. But among NFL players, the gossip around Luck concerns a peculiar brand of on-field chatter so confusing and brilliant that no one knows quite what to make of it.

“In all the years I’ve played football I have heard anything like it,” said Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan. “Nothing even close.”

Very awesome, got to love Andrew Luck. He is pure class.

[SLILLINGTON10]

now i just want to play basketball with him.

[GoPats]

Has Luck ever been mic'd up for Sound FX? Got to think if he has that they would have picked one of these up...

 

It's pretty funny reading the defensive players' reactions to it. "Uh... thanks?" LOL...

Yeah there's been some footage of him congratulating players.

 

He's on it again this Tuesday night on NFL Network.

Thanks.

 

I like stuff like this... anytime we get to hear about anything that happens on the field, you know? 

[lollygagger8]

I'm so glad Luck is on the Colts. Man did we get lucky....no pun intended. 

[BullsColtsFan1]

Awesome article. I am glad to have him as our QB!  That shows how much respect everyone has for Luck in this league.  Him being able to dunk a basketball doesn't surprise me but I did not know that!  Thanks for sharing!

[Dark Superman]

I'd rather Luck get upset and try to fire up the players around him.

He gets plenty fired up too.

 

[ProblChld32]

A-Luck is D. A. Man.... How can you not love this kid lol...i must admit myself being a defensive player i would be ticked off to the fullest extent if someone of the opposition congratulated me after laying the HAMMER on them lol. 

[chad hugo]

thats what i want in a QB! 

[BOTT]

That would be the least of his problems

[chad hugo]

he's got suggs's respect

 

[PeterBowman]

maybe this is why he just never seems to get rattled under pressure....that's just his nature.

 

 

also if you notice that the majority of his mistakes occur early in the games. He rarely seems to make those "bonehead" mistakes late in games.

[Moopsiepuffs]

Should have been a 15-yard penalty for hitting his head.

[Valpo2004]

I don't care if it's intentional or not, for someone who hasn't met him before I think there is some gamesmanship that helps a bit.  

 

It has to be frustrating as a rusher to get that hit and for him to tell you "Hey nice hit".  

 

If hitting the QB after he's released the ball doesn't upset him or affect his play then it's nothing but wasted effort.

 

Now if you know the guy and have played him a few times like JJ Watt, you probably just get used to it.  

 

I do like that he doesn't look for the flag every time he gets hit and that seems to earn him some respect among opponents.  But the better he starts playing the more the aura of protection from the Refs getting their orders from NFL brass is going to surround him.  

 

NFL doesn't want it's star quarterback's hurt and they charge their refs to look after them. 

[Valpo2004]

he's got suggs's respect

 

 

Watt did the same thing after a sack yesterday.

Oh man, Luck is hilarious. 

[Indygal1218]

Ditka would bench him for being too nice to his opponents. lol

[pgt_rob]

"Well, gosh darn golly, that was a swell takedown."

 

Pretty much making Gandhi look like a butt hole.

He does.    You just don't read about it.

 

But Matt Hasselbeck said just that recently in a Colts.com article.    And Coby Fleener has said so as well.

[shakedownstreet]

You probably don't expect Andrew Luck to be much of a trash talker.

 

However, that depends on your definition of trash talk.

 

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback is mild-mannered and often complimentary, which aimed at someone trying to knock your head off, can be quite disarming -- and effective.

 

Kevin Clark of the Wall Street Journal interviewed 12 players, who have sacked or at least hit Luck since he entered the NFL three seasons ago. Each said the words out of Luck's mouth are akin to what you'd expect from an encouraging elementary school teacher.

 

"In all the years I've played football I have (never) heard anything like it," said Washington Redskins linebacker and former Purdue standout Ryan Kerrigan. "Nothing even close."

Go to www.wsj.com and look in the lower right hand corner.

 

Don't be shocked, but it's the Wall Street Journal webpage.  Surprised the Colts didn't post it.

[James Harden]

Luck is just amazing.What a superstar. 

[Dark Superman]

He gets plenty fired up too.

 

He needs to be like this all the time.

[Dark Superman]

Luck would have declined the penalty. Lol.

[wesd2890]

He gets plenty fired up too.

Id like him to do this more often.. mainly to the oline that continues to put him on his back.. i was every game and ive been waiting for him to jump up screamin but never does.. he class and composer is jaw dropping.

[needanoline63]

Ya but with this offensive line, one day he's gonna get hit and not say anything. Build the blue wall!!!!

[GoColts8818]

sad thing is there is more truth in that joke than there should be.
