Can somebody explain the huge discrepancy?

According to Archer:

Thomas leads the Cowboys with 116 tackles and has stayed healthy after missing 11 games last season. Taylor, picked up by Washington in a July trade with Miami, has 13 tackles and one sack, but he has missed three games because of a leg injury.

Yahoo stats has Zach at 49 tackles.

Is Archer smoking some serious bong?

ESPN and NFL.com has Zach at 66 tackles. I don't know where Archer is getting his stats from.

Extrapolated out over 16 games, that's 117 tackles. I'm sure he just confused the two in his article.

Those are probably coaching stats. I think it's been proven that coaches distribute tackles out freely.

The 116 tackles could well be a team stat. Phillips is known to give players the credit for a tackle if they're in the vicinity of a tackle. Spagnola was talking about this a few weeks back.

Coaches often give out tackles for "causing tackles" or "disrupting a play", and so on.
