LVE makes a lot of tackles 10 yards downfield after getting pushed back out of the play. I suppose better than NOT making those tackles, but let’s not pretend he’s stuffing the run or stopping receivers short of first downs.

I love when somebody makes a big deal out of tackle stats.

Eugene Lockhart led the Boys in tackles and Jimmy couldn’t get him off the team fast enough.

The aforementioned RW31 was Mr “but-but-but-look at his tackle stats” and fans used those tackle stats to pump up his awful play.

Tackle stats are nice in the right context, and in 55’s case, tackles 8-10 yards down the field is not a good thing.

I'm gonna quote your post so you can't delete and say you didn't say something this stupid.

He’s bad. Too slow. Tackles means nothing - he’s making plays why down field.
You apparently only see what you want to see. Were you in the bathroom when he matched the speed of the RB to the sideline while engaged with the OL and made the tackle? That's one example.

Lmao at people citing the number of tackles as proof of his good play.

I swear half our fan base is forever stuck in 1995.

He still suxs. Instead of follow through, he pauses and let's the play pass him up.
