Brady, Mankins & Mayo make First All-Pro Team

[Brady2Welker]

^ By looking at that stat, imo Timmons seems to be the better linebacker of that group.

I'd say that Timmons and Urlacher both had great years.

You must be trying to be sarcastic here.......really? Mayo blew everyone away in tackles and was a beast out there. Urlacher had good yr....Mayo was better!

Seriously? This is sarcasm by you, I hope. I thought I just provided some evidence to how vastly overrated tackles are. Mayo is a good player, but to put him over Timmons and Urlacher would be silly for this year. I'd trade all of those extra tackles for run stuffs, passes defended and interception(s), categories that Mayo was not only bested on but his production was 1/2 or less.

Good to see some players getting recognition. Wilfork probably deserves more but I'd put that down to him playing a position that doesn't command a lot of stats or highlight tape but is of vital importance none the less
