Im going to start by saying that this is MY guy you are ripping apart. I dont believe for a second that hes DPOTY, but its nice to have fury arguing that. Honestly, hes not even the best LB I have on the vikings.
However, you are saying that because he tackles after a miss, its somehow not a tackle? thats absurd. Thats called making tackles when they NEED to be made.
I ESPECIALLY like how you started cutting and pasting to prove a point, then realized you were wrong then changed the point you were making without stopping to edit your old one. 3 out of 13 coming after missed tackles? what the hell is that supposed to prove?
He does run backwards alot, but its not a big cushion intentionally, it just looks that way because hes twice as fast as your tight end. He runs back because, as you state, there is something to be desired on the defense tackling wise, and he goes to play mop up alot. Thats what he does, it doesent make him less of a LB or make his tackles somehow not count.
I do agree though that the general should be the DPOY over him, as his tackles did tend to mean more.
As for backing off the tight end against Michigan:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=149909&pbp_id=7676553 Your tight ends got 50 yards in the game. Then they got popped. I will trade 50 yards given up to the TE position for a turnover any day. Enough said about that. If your TE was a bit quicker, he might have gotten some picks out of that. Hell take the FF though.
I do have a question, if you didnt account for him in your gameplan, who DID you account for? cause it sure looked like maybe you should have accounted for him from looking at the highlight reel. We didnt have much of anyone else do much. Surely you know how to game plan, right?
No offense, but you have the right point, but your logic is full of crap.
Oh yeah, it looks like hes leaving the vikings, so it doesent REALLY matter, but watch what he does next year. Its going to be scary.
