Amazing season by this young rookie and has the potential to topple 150 tackles this regular season

Give Jerod a little love and congratulations to an outstanding rookie season and his first of many 100+ tackle seasons!

Steve Nelson has the Pats record of 207 tackles in a season and Hardy Nickerson has the league record of 214, so maybe Jerod can challenge those records in a few years

lets hope the other 10 guys are never that awfull that mayo gets anywhere near 200 tackles in a season

Tackles is an over-rated stat and one that is very misleading. Peter King did a story at the beginning of the year about how the Tackles stat is very misleading and often a PADDED stat. He used the 49ers and Patrick Willias as well as the Colts as just 2 examples of this. The Colts actually had more than 2 full tackles per defensive play last season.

Kind of like baseball's Win/loss record.
Give me the lower ERA every time.
Still, Jerod has had a great rookie season, making Belioli look good in the process.

Its an overrated stat, but it's still important.

SOMEONE has to make a tackle. If Mayo didn't make those 100 tackles, who wouldve? Alexander? He might only have 75 tckls at this point.

No. Cause team totals will always be 162 unless a player is traded.

That was an interesting article, felt before this year that this type of stat would not be seen on the Pats as they focus on team defense.. personally do not think this is a good thing as what it points to too much focus on a Rookie and or one player.. think that Mayo is gonna be great, but also notice some arm tackling and missed tackles.. he is a rookie, with a great future.. being around Seau will help him a lot.

Pretty sure he meant a pitcher's win/loss record versus their ERA, not the team's.

Thank you, Drew4008.
I guess I didn't put that quite right.
