stats cloud the mind watch technique and all will become clear. I know I sound like a honk but I was a NT in college and Semi-pro so I know a little something about this. His 2 gap technique and ability to shed the gaurd/center are amazing. When your a NT in a 3-4 your not supposed to make the tackle all the time but he beats his man off a 2 gap better than most 1 gap tackles
Watching technique will cloud the mind even worse. The Patriots play the two gap Fairbanks-Bullough 3-4, whereas the Chargers play the Phillips 3-4, a one gap system. The Steelers run a modified version of that in LeBeau's zone blitz 3-4. All play their system at a high-caliber level and are the best NT at that defense, but their respective systems are so different that it's not really a position you can define any one player as being the best.
Point noted but to say technique will cloud the mind is untrue. I am not saying any of those guys aren't good trust me if we had any of those guys we'd be in pretty good shape, but thats what makes my case VW is in a 2 gap 3-4 and still puts up comparable to better numbers.
