New pics on ESPN

[ryestye]

The one pic shows an OLB with 40 tackles after 5 games. He's pretty high rated though (91). At that pace, a 16 game season adds up to around 128 tackles. Do you see this as addressing last years problems with sim stats (LB's vs. CB's) or not?

8 tackles a gm for a star 'backer...isnt really that bad imo

Jamie Sharper and Ray Lewis both had over 160.

Looking at the 2003/04 season stats, the league leader in tackles, Jamie Sharper of the Houston Texans, finished with 164 total tackles, 105 of which were solos. The leader in solo tackles was Keith Brooking of the Atlanta Falcons with 126.

So, the stats aren't far off for the linebackers if you ask me.

128 tackles for a 91 rated OLB is just fine, that ain't much at all. At a 91 he should have more lol

The problem last year had more to do with the OLB's hogging up all of the tackles while the MLB's avg 105-120 per season, the major OLB's would pull in 185-210 tlks a year. So 40 in 5 games with an pace of 128 ain't bad IMO

Not to mention probowl corners having 5-10 tlks, safties with 35-40 tcks and DE/DT's with 10-20 tkls... that's fixed.
