Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 726144">The numbers I referred to where based on percentages among inside linebackers with at least 200 snaps against the run. Therefore it doesn't matter if opponents abandoned rushing the ball.Once again, there's absolutely no doubt that Matthews is significantly better rushing the passer from inside as Ryan, Martinez and Thomas but he doesn't excel in any other area required of an ILB. It's tough to fairly analyze the numbers you presented as there's no way to figure out how many of those plays Clay made while lining up inside.As a side note I highly doubt the Packers would be even close to fielding a top five defense by having any of the ILBs currently on the roster performing like Matthews did for 1 1/2 seasons.</blockquote>
