People who try to belittle tackle numbers ignore one basic fact. Guys that get blocked don't get to the ball carrier. So I don't care if it is "pile jumping" or not I prefer the guy who can shed blockers and get to the ball carrier.
Peko was among the league leaders in tackles by an interior lineman almost every season he was here, but many "fans" still ripped on him.
