per espn he played in double digit games every year, except 08 when he was hurt... and last year he played in all 16 games, averaging almost 9 tackles a game.
As much as you like to toot your own horn about football knowledge, you must have a shortfall when it comes to the roots of the game. A safety should NEVER be in the position to make almost 9 tackles a game. That tells me that the linebackers, and CB's aren't doing their jobs. Safeties also shouldn't be relied upon in man to man coverage. Sean Taylor STRUGGLED in man to man coverage. He never was known for that. What he was good at was playing center field, and crashing the box. Reading a play and reacting. If safeties were good in man to man, they wouldn't be safeties, they'd be playing CB.
