He’s been very solid this season. Great story

He was very solid the last 3rd of the season after an excellent opener against Howard. But after some growing pains the future looks very bright.

Good job despite lack of help up front

Oh that's right. You're the guy that thought linebackers shouldn't lead teams in tackles.

 

[Plum Street]

will this league put him in an all-big team ?

That's part of it.
Another part is to keep from being hit in the chest by RBs blockers etc who are hitting you in the chest with running starts.
Its not the big guys on OL who deliver the worst shots
That's part of a reason defenses break down in 4th (and players wear over a season).
You wouldn't know much about that obvs.

LOL -It's not easy to wriggle your way out of stupid observations previously made is it?

Yes or no - Do DBs and LBs historically lead teams in tackles???

BTW - Who's hitting our linebackers in the chest with running starts?

 

[mdk01]

Not this year with an 18 team league. If he plays 12 games next year at the level he played the last 3 this year it's likely.

No . This league treats us a little different.

Some can and some cant - its not all as neat as you think - your football savvy is exceeded by your snotty nonsesne.
When I cited Djabome's excessive tackles it was vs Howard and he had 11 tackles in first half.
When a LB has 11 tackles in one half other people are slackin - 7-12 tackles a game is normalish
Plus his tackles weren't at LOS but often upfield - run tackles at the line are the best.

RU was bad at TFLs (125th) and sacks (91st) - weak DL - especially first half of season.
Rutgers with averages of 39.7 points and 490 total yards vs Wisconsin, UCLA and USC
Look at top defenses and top tacklers - players from first group aren't in second group (Djabome = 31st).
Ohio St = #1 Defense and not a single Ohio St player in top 100 for tackles .
No Oregon, Penn St or Tennessee either - Buffalo with top 2 tacklers.
Players with showy tackle stats are usually doing clean-up on flawed defenses

Teams with great defenses don't have gaudy tackle numbers, because their opponents don't run a lot of plays.

That's part of it - and having a good defense is why.
Djabome on Ohio St wouldn't have the same tackles.
High tackles stats dont impress me like (say) TFLs, FF, sacks, INTs, strips etc
Play 7 on defense vs 11 on offense and lots of LB tackles

This! Something

I'll try to simplify this for you again...

Yes or no - Do DBs and LB positions historically / typically lead teams at all levels of play in tackles??? A one word answer would suffice. Feel free to do a few more hours of research.

Next year with him and Toure should be special. Both have a great sense for the ball and high motors.
