Ok, when did Kings and Borges opinions become fact? The guy was reading from a stat sheet that many espn guys use. The stats seemed pretty solid and just not opinion.
So, Instead of reading the article and getting educated, you decide to continue to be an ignorant fool. If you read the article, you'd have seen that the Colts total tackles was almost double the number of defensive plays they had. Houston and San Fran were almost as bad.
You tried and tried to make an argument on why his sacks were down and your argument was he is setting the edge and his job has changed.
I am watching NFL replay as I am writing this and Vrable in playing Left OLB. Brad Smith just ran right by him. So much for job change.
No. I told you exactly what my argument was. I told you that Vrabel's sacks were down because he was playing ROLB. That is the position he played when Adalius wasn't injured. Did line up some at LOLB, yep. But he's primarily been at ROLB. You watching ONE play doesn't change anything. Clearly your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired.
Who else, name and link. Again, watching NFL replay. Vrable's playing Left OLB.
Vrabel, against the Jets, was lining up primarily at ROLB. Yes, he took some snaps in sub packages at LOLB, but not a lot. ONE game doesn't prove anything for you. Well, other than your myopic in your views.
How many times have you seen coaches talk about missed tackles. One missed tackle can mean a TD. IE missed tackle O'Neil in 1st phins game TD. Stats mean everthing!!!!
Wrong. Stats mean nothing without context. That is what you continue to not understand. Otherwise, the people saying that Brady is a better QB than Manning wouldn't have a leg to stand on because Manning has much better STATS than Brady. Brady has the better over-all record, but Manning has the stats. Again, its called context. Something which you clearly know NOTHING about.
Ron Borges who hates the coach and wrote that Randy Moss could not run anymore, that Ron Borges. Ron Borges who has lied several times in his writing.
You have to judge players on something and that something is stats. Wrs are judge on receptions and yards. RB's on yards.
I am asking you, what should you go on for the HOF?
Again, this is where your lack of comprehension shows through for everyone. Stats are just part of it. If stats were the ONLY thing then guys like Terry Bradshaw and Dan Fouts would not be in the Hall of Fame. It wouldn't have taken Andre Tippett so long to get into the Hall of Fame.
OH, tell me something. What stats do they use to judge an O-Lineman?
You gave me RON FREAKING BORGES as part of your argument. Need I say more.
Yes, actually, you do. See, unlike you, I know for a fact that Ron Borges is (or was) one of the sportswriters who has (had) a vote in the Hall of Fame process. His bias towards all things Belichick have nothing to do with how he votes for other prospective Hall of Famers. The fact that you try and deflect it is pretty laughable.
Tackles don't matter. This is a bio of a HOF player. This is right from HOF web site.
Mike Singletary, was a second-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in the 1981 NFL Draft and the 38th player selected overall. The only college junior to be selected to the All-SWC Team of the 1970s, Singletary earned All-America honors in both his junior and senior years at Baylor, where he averaged 15 tackles per game and established a team record with 232 tackles in 1978.
Singletary became a starter in the Bears lineup in the seventh game of his rookie season. In a game against the Kansas City Chiefs, his third as a starter, Singletary put on a remarkable defensive performance recording 10 tackles and forcing a fumble. A nearly unanimous all-rookie selection, Singletary went on to start 172 games for the Bears during his 12-year career, which is the second most in club history.
An intense player, Mike finished as the Bears’ first or second leading tackler each of his last 11 seasons. He amassed an impressive 1,488 career tackles, 885 of which were solo efforts. A constant force on defense, he missed playing just two games, both in 1986.
In a game against the Denver Broncos in 1990 he had a personal-best performance when he recorded 10 solo tackles and 10 assists. Selected to play in a team record 10 Pro Bowls, Singletary was All-Pro eight times, and All-NFC every year from 1983 until 1991.
The NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1985 and 1988, Mike was the cornerstone of the Bears’ innovative 46-defense. In 1985, he led a Bears’ defense that allowed fewer than 11 points per game, as the team posted an impressive 15-1 record. He had 13 tackles and a sack in the playoffs leading up to the Bears’ 46-10 defeat of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. The Bears’ league-leading defense held the Patriots to a record low seven yards rushing, while the hard-charging Singletary contributed with two fumble recoveries.
TACKLES WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
God, you really are DENSE. Its not about TACKLES. Its about the context in which the tackles were made in. Why do you think they go on to EXPLAIN things.
Again, stats without context mean nothing. You can be stupid and sit there with your fingers in your ears going "NA NA NA NA, STATS ARE EVERYTHING" all you want. It won't change the fact that you don't know what you are talking about unless there is context.
