[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 963435, member: 17953"] I'm not certain how you can blame an interior linebacker for making tackles after 3-4 yards of gain. They're playing more than one gap, making reads to determine if they need to drop into coverage, and often playing sideline to sideline. They aren't playing at the line, but off the line, or they'd be picked up in the line blocking, and swept away from plays. I don't believe that was happening with either Hawk, or Martinez. And yes, I am impressed by a player who consistently makes the most tackles in games, and has a substantially low whiff rate. Also, remember that tackles missed are often later in games, when their arms are tired, their shoulders ache, and legs are turning to rubber. Most interior linebackers who make a lot of tackles play a very high number of plays each game on defense. Personally, I believe Barnett, Hawk, and Martinez all got a bad wrap because people don't always understand their role on the field. [/QUOTE]
