FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Broken Tackles 2010
According to FO:
McCourty was the surest tackler among DBs
Mayo was the second-surest tackler among LBs, behind Clay Matthews
Wilfork was as sure a tackler as any other DL
This is as measured by a ratio of missed tackles to tackles.
They concede that they could miss a missed tackle here or there, so the precise rankings are not set in stone.
