Tackles are an overrated stat, as you all know.
In all seriousness, I like Byrd - as a backup. He's a tryhard who will make some plays, but he shouldn't be exposed out there as much as he was. Te'o get healthy.ESPN Screename: GoBolts02

You and I see this the same Tweety Bird was flying all over the place and racked up a lot of tackles, but the majority of them he was chasing somebody down, now if you want to praise someone for tackling you need to look at Butler he was reading an attacking when he was tackling, he was meeting the runner at or near the line of scrimmage, not chasing out of position like Tweety Bird

My post was just in response to somebody bashing on Bird and talking about how good Butler was.Last edited by thelightningwill; 09-12-2013, 07:53 PM.

.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
