I've never understood the praise for the tackles record. It means that teams are intentionally running AT you, not that you are good at tackling. One would think that if you were really good at defense, you would have fewer tackles, as teams would try to avoid your area.
Of course it helps when you are playing on a lousy team that has is defense out on the field more often than not.
