No need to sign a guy that will likely bring about what V. Rey does just because.

Not really obsessed with anything, we just differ on the opinion that someone that has had over 100 tackles every year of thier career and never missed a game has been productive. Once again: I have not advocated signing Baby Animal, not sure where the disconnect is on that.

Just like INTs for a DB, I consider tackles to be an important stat for a LB (espeially a MLB in a 4-3), just as I would consider sacks and stuffs an important stat for D-linemen.
