For the second year in a row both Bates and Williams are position so to lead the team in Solo Tackles. Not a good sign when you're Safeties lead the team in Tackles.

Bates has been terrible this year. I don't know exactly what happened, but man, he is giving up big plays left and right.

He gave up a lot of big plays last season but he also made up with it by making plays. I think he will bonce back but it is curious.
Also when the guys up front can't do there job especially at LB it makes it harder on the safety. 

Its like giving a backstop MVP.

Life was so much better, when both of our OTs were in the top 10 in blocking efficiency...

Proof that our LBers really don't tackle.
