KC has 3 safeties on the bottom twenty when it comes to tackling. Somehow Sabby Gymtanlaundry is NOT on the list.

Sabby was never in position to miss a tackle.

Look at the bright side...it's the one and only time Kendrick Lewis, Donald Washington, and Jon McGraw will appear in a list with ED REED.

This. He was usually picking up his jock 20 yards behind.

This. And hey, maybe Sabby could tackle. That is, if he could ever cover somebody.

I think it was supposed to say Pollard where it said Reed :thumb:

I like Kendrick Lewis, despite what this list says.

I'm surprised there were 2 guys worse than Rahim Moore.

You can like him and still acknowledge that he's a bad tackler.

Lewis is a nice ball-hawk; a legitimate 'center-field' free safety.

He's also among the worst tacklers in the league. And that's when he's even in the right spot for run support. Lewis is a nice coverage safety, but he's an unquestioned liability in run-support.

Hopefully with Berry back, Lewis won't be asked to tackle runners very often.

People jumped all over me for wanting to bring in another safety and move Berry to FS, but I still think it wouldn't be a bad idea.

I got blasted for saying we should have kept Pollard at SS and moved Berry over to free.

We'd be a better team for it, IMO. Thank God we got that 14 games of shitty play from Mike Brown and ditched that malcontent. Whew.

I wouldn't have minded that DJ.

I said we should sign Landry in free agency and move Berry to SS. Bring Lewis in in subpackages and let Landry play McGraws role.

Got blasted.

lewis played really well this year. He's earned a starting spot. Pollard was madding. For every highlight hit, he'd wiff on two, and he always seemed out of position. Maybe he's learned, but I don't want him.

That's because he didn't play enough snaps.

There are guys on the list with 212 snaps. How many did Sabby have?

Hm, 295.

In 2009 he topped the league in missed tackles. LMAO

This. & with the return of EB, Kendrick is going have better outings with greater opportunity to get picks along the way. Very exited with the return of Eric Berry this season along side with Kendrick Lewis & they can bring the Boom Ch Ka.
