chuck shick said:Leading the team in tackles was almost as useless as total yards yesterday. If the tackle was at the line of scrimmage fine, but most were seven yards downfield. How do you know he is doing everything the coaches are asking? I don't know what they are asking in terms of scheme, but I do know they want him to recognize and diagnose plays and take a proper angle to the ball, which he consistently fails to do in key situations.
I have to watch the game again, but I wholeheartedly agree about tackle stats. I am a Packer fan, and AJ Hawk was a horrendous mlb, but everyone mentioned his high tackle numbers. What they didn't mention was his tackles were 5 yards down the field.
I need to watch this game because UCONN could not set the edge on defense. From my eye, Cole Ormsby was doing an excellent job, so it had to be a linebacker.
