while it is true that Brettlax used the original post to "go on a barely tangential attack" on Mayo, the same can be said about your post in response to Brettlax's.
No, the same cannot be said. My response was directly on point.
how in god's earth does the fact that Patrick Willis only has 5 interceptions have ANYTHING to do with Mayo's ability. Who on earth made Patrick the be all end all of linebackers? How does interceptions by another player have anything to do with Mayo? so to spew what you did about the attack by Brettlax and then do what you did makes no sense
I refuse to believe that you are so clueless that you don't understand why a comparison of INTs (the initial topic of the thread) is important to the discussion when getting an INT was the purported reason for his commentary. As a result, I'll just assume that part of your post was just throw away material.
Brettlax was merely indicating what I think most people see, which is that Mayo does have the ability to make tackles, but his ability to cover another player is sub-par. i call mayo's tackles "Mayo Specials." That being, the player Mayo is guarding makes the catch, then Mayo makes the tackle and then everyone starts talking about how good mayo is because he makes all the tackles.
Incorrect.....
obviously, the interception does not indicate a problem of our coverage, but the 1 interception indicates how mayo does not have the interceptions.
Then you had no real reason to interject your post as a counter to mine, since you're conceding my very point.
