I am always harping on people for using tackle stats, the reason is because they are usually not a good measuring stick to compare players between teams...Im not doing that, Im comparing players from the SAME team and pointing out that two of our top three tacklers were our safeties. It is 100% relevant in this case. If I was comparing his tackles to that of his with the Texans it would be IMO unusable because of the difference in how they are counted on the different teams...fair enough?
And right now, given the massive difference in the play of his defense before and since his insertion into the starting lineup...one would have to say he is above average, or have their head in the sand.
