How did Luke Staley compare to Skattebo? I’m too young to remember LS’s style.

Royal_Minister

Luke was a tall, upright runner with breakaway speed. Scatt is a bowling ball. He'd find a hole and hit hyper drive. He

zonacougar

Luke was shifty like Sanders IMO and so fast- not a pound it guy as I recall

SBB

6:29pm

I don’t recall him being a make you miss shifty back. Fast and decisive.

Charles Darwin

Yup - hit the hole and gone.

Luke had a speed burst to get the edge. Skattebo’s best skill is his bruising

Staley did much of his damage to the outside

Not similar at all. Skat is all power. Staley was pure speed.

Blueto

Both white and played the same position, end of comparison.

Hank Rearden

Luke didn’t run through contact. He ran around it. Next level speed. Skatt much more physical.

Staley used speed and ran in straight lines
