Nick Barnett used to make a lot of tackles, too.
Unfortunately, most of them were 5 plus yards past the line of scrimmage.
A.J. Hawk did that a lot in the latter stages of his career as well.

So who would you say is our most poised to lead the pack then?For you, maybe. Most of us would like to see just a tiny bit more before annointing our best linebacker.

In my opinion Jake Ryan showed his ability to lead the pack last year vs Carolina and vs Detroit were he racked up double digits in tackles both games. Thats just my opinion though.It's possible that either one of Barrington, Ryan and Martinez end up being the Packers best inside linebacker this season. Once again there's a lot if uncertainty because none of them
is proven.

Its a big statistic!!! Especially for a ILB. He showed he can do his job and tackle the ball carrier. Did he make mistakes, yes. But thats again expected from a rookie.
Do you remember him dragging tacklers down more than contact at the line or at least stopping forward proggress? I seem to remember him doing fine as a rookie.
