Pat Watkins led the team in tackles tonight
He tied RW, with six tackles. Way to go, rook -- solid game!

And the best part is you don't hear about him much, that means he isn't getting beat deep.

Imagine that, a free safety who can make plays. 
This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

maybe the stats are misleading but i dont like safeties making the most tackles. Maybe RW because he plays so much around the LOS but to me that meanst hey are getting to the 2nd level too much. I like my LBs to lead in tackles thank you

They say he is Tall and lanky but he seems to have a pretty solid build, he is built more like TO and less like Pinkston.
For those of you that were "offended" by last 2 sigs this one is for you.

Man, Watkins is having a really nice couple of games. Free safeties shouldn't ever get their names called (other than INTs), and Pat's practically invisible out there.
Kind of like Gurode tonight.

NFL.com just changed the stats and now gives Roy one more tackle than Watkins. Still a great game.

Watkins' tackles came after gains of 15, 14, 19, 13, 17 and 20 yards. The good thing was that none of them came on passes against him, except maybe the last one, which came when we were in the prevent defense. The rest all came on runs, reverses and dumpoff passes.

That is one of the things you want from your free safety. as the last point of defense better seeing hin making tackles after the long gain than giving up TD's

I still can't believe he was available in the fifth, and he's good enough to start.

We never heard his name, he played a true safety. Free safeties are supposed to be the last line of defense. Being that we didn't give up any big plays tonight, that speaks well of Pat.
