[QUOTE="jakemillar, post: 727546, member: 12460"] Hmmm.... :whistling: [URL]http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/profootballdoc/sd-sp-pfd-zach-orr-retire-lions-ravens-20170628-story.html[/URL] The above article is in relevance to the highly unlikely event that Orr suffers further reinjury. Specifically in the NFL, this exact same injury has been played through by many players previously, and even some currently who are unaware of it. The correlation between LBs in the last 16 seasons with 120+ tackles in a season and the success of their defense is striking if you look into it on Pro Football Reference. I'm not trying to insult anyone by saying this, just something I noticed and should point out. Sure, not every tackle is the same, but having an ILB who is capable of making that volume of tackles would be of great value to everyone else on the defense, because if the LB doesn't, than your SS or FS is going to have to make it 8 yards further down field. Speaking in hypotheticals here, which defense do you think would finish ranked higher at the end of a season in Yards Allowed Per Play & Yards Allowed Per Game, the team with 2 ILBs with 100+ tackles, or the team with 2 safeties with 100+ tackles? All of the commonly rattled off "greatest defenses of all time" (85 Bears, 88 Browns, 00 Ravens, 12-current Seahawks, 15-current Broncos, early 90s Eagles, etc.) lowest ranking in YPG was 4th, and the only one of those teams who had a safety with 100+ tackles was Kam Chancellor, who truly plays more of an in-the-box, Leroy Butler, Rodney Harrison type of safety. Long story short, if the injury issue is truly manageable and Orr could continue to play NFL football through it, he would be a significant upgrade to the Packer defense. [/QUOTE]
