Jaylon leading the NFL in tackles

[KingRah]

Watching the games, he looks like he’s playing average.

Tackles are really a meaningless stat devoid of context.

Yup. You can make 7 tackles after 7 6 yard gains.

That means no one else tackled them in the first 6 5 yards!!!

Jerry paid off the stat keeper, since he doesn't know how to pay off the officials or Goodell.

So. Smart people, what do you think? I’ll ignore the patients that give him credit for it.

Patients? Is he a nurse?

I think it's better than leading the league in missed tackles.

Not around some of these geniuses

It's why you need to be careful just looking at just raw stats.

None of our LBs have played particularly well this year. Smith, in particular, has been very disappointing. He's probably played better than the doomsayers have said but not nearly as good as the homers want to claim.

He's been basically around average.

Sounds like this defense

 

[ClappingCarrot]

That had to have been before the Blake Martinez stat line hits later today.

He's a tackling machine.

Him and LVE were real tone setters last year. Especially in the 2nd half of the season they were particularly suffocating. The play of those two seemed to drive the defense

They have both taken a step back

 

[erod]

Most of them are 8 yards downfield.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Jaylon leading the league only because LVE has missed some games.

 

[Aven8]

Even blind squirrels find some nuts.

 

[Rayman70]

bet he leads in missed tackles too.
