ok how bad must you suck for your nickel back to have 1 less tackle than your starting corner? and not to mention the dropped int?

You don't want your starting corner to have many tackles. If your starting corner is your team's leading tacker, he sucks. Conversely, Asomugha, the league's best CB only had 1 pick and 33 solo tackles in his Pro Bowl season. His stats are low because his man is always covered.

And your nickle back is more active in run support, so you want him to have more tackles.

But if you want to live your life by the stat book, that's cool too

haha well .. all of his tackles that ive seen have been downfield .. however he did assist in one run stop by driving someone out of bounds .. the only time ive seen him beat in coverage is by roy williams who he immediately slung to the ground on his face , still though ? what are we paying gamble for? he gets 1 or 2 takeaways a season .. and if hes beat he wont tackle because godfrey runs him over
