Oh now it's his run defense. See at the beginning of the season you were another guy that said Tamba would epically fail in this defense. That he wasn't a good pass rusher and that he wouldn't be able to drop into zones. I didn't see where you showed up to say how wrong you were.
Derrick Thomas was also a liability against the run. So is Shawne "roidman" Merriman. so was Jon Randle. So is Dwight Freeney. So are lots of guys. not that I even buy that any way. When you're dealing with 3 down linemen who don't always anchor their gaps properly and the outside backers are constantly having to eat tackles and pulling guards they aren't going to do that well. I'm sure the argument that backs and tight ends run block him out of the hole is coming next, but I don't recall seeing that so often that it was an issue.
