Maualuga has only had 100 tackles once.Wow, I am getting old. It seems like just yesterday we got Maualuga, and everyone seemed to think he was a steal, we were all looking forward to his beastly presence. I really think his later years have been his best though,important piece in the defense. Laurinitis had to be a cap casualty, and I'd love to have him here.
In 7 years, Maualuga has had 557 tackles, 4 total sacks, 6 INTs and 19 passes defended.
In 7 years, Laurinaitis has had 852 tackles, 16.5 sacks, 10 INTs and 34 passes defended.
Depending on health he could be an upgrade at the MLB spot.
Neither Laurinaitis or Maualuga are going to play for that many more years. But, from NFL games logs, Laurinaitis has started all 16 games in every one of his 7 years.
