That's great and everything, but the statistic is a little misleading. Only six teams played Thursday. His lead will shrink significantly after Sunday/Monday.

Probably shrink by 10? That's still a remarkable lead.
Yeah,you take away his, what, 12 tackles from yesterday? He still leads by more than 20. Quite a year.

Tackles are good, plays end w/a tackle. But might his total be a bit inflated due to:
1) The Pats inability to get off the field on 3rd down, giving the opponent more plays, generating more tackles?
2) A deficiency in pass coverage, meaning while Mayo's making tackles he ISN'T a) batting down passes and/or making interceptions, and b) that deficiency in coverage leads opposing QBs to target that soft middle of the field for completions, which then require tackles?

I was figuring by about 12ish, but in the same ballpark. I'm not bashing Mayo, I love the guy. I was just pointing out a problem with that particular stat. If he stays healthy, he should easily have the most tackles by the end of the season.

Well, over a nine game period his closest pursuers have averaged nine or ten tackles a game, so even if they play lights out and make 20 tackles, he still leads by 13. It's more likely that they will make their average, so his lead will still be over 20.

There's no problem with that stat.

So, you're definitely a "The glass is half empty." kind of guy, huh?
