Conversely, I used who I believe is one of the best players on the field across all 50+ ILB’s across that same timeframe. I guess you could say Wagner would be the “goal of A+ excellence”. I can’t help Blake put up numbers close to Bobby that part is just something you’ll have to accept and dissect.  It’s still conjecture though saying Blake misses a bunch of plays imo. Although I can definitely see why you’d try to make a distinction between those 2 players, they are relatively close on a stats sheet. I agree that there were some plays mingled in Blake’s career that he could’ve distinguished himself more, but that’s really most players.Now let’s handle this objection that he “missed plays”. Every player misses plays so that’s not quantifiable. I can’t judge a player by someone’s opinion that they missed plays. I certainly wouldn’t hand out a 3year X $30.75mil contract to a player I thought was a “play misser” (I made up that word)This whole thing of Blake being a poor player who backpedaled and didn’t get involved is overblown and embellished. If he had an ounce more productivity (especially TFL, Sacks or Solo’s etc) he’d likely be a 1st or 2nd Team All Pro.</blockquote>
