[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131833410, member: 1812660"] The worse defensive units in the NFL have the most tackles. Unless your defense is giving up nothing but huge plays for touchdowns, the defenses that allow sustained drives by the opposing offense will have a greater number of tackles. The defense that keeps the opposing offense from running more plays will have less opportunities to make tackles. I never said that fact diminishes the individual player that is making those tackles. For example, Ray Lewis didn't always lead the league in tackles when the Ravens had a good defensive season. He did during a season where they were 8-8 and the defense as a whole was not as good. Neither case makes him less of a great player. But he also plays the position in the defense that is MEANT to get the most opportunities for tackles. Either way, stop being a dick by just yelling and calling me a hater. You were the one who snidely implied that anyone who said Long was undersized for the position was widely off base because of one good performance as starter. You then stated facts that were presented were wrong in your ignorance and now you are just saving face by talking ****. [/QUOTE]
