They tried the "tackling machine" route with Preston Brown and before that Burfict and they couldn't cover anyone. I see what you're saying but it doesn't fit their defensive scheme. Wilson needs to be the "tackling machine" since they rarely put three linebackers on the field at the same time.
Yes, Pratt actually is having a very good year same with ADG. Wilson just has had a stellar one so far.
Pratt does his job in covering TE's and RB's from killing our D. Underrated this year. It is a nice change from last year when I
picked him to be our breakout D player and he let me down but this year he is playing well.

So much more to this game than the sexy stats. Hubbard made a couple really good stop last weekend. The guy is money.
So true. Hubbard does his job very well, best run stopping Edge in the league IMO.
He just isn't a sack machine like Hendrickson and that is okay. Hubbard will get one here and there and can knock balls
down and get pressures while getting TFL.

Not sure who he beat (RT or TE), but he exploded through that line for the tackle. Was a thing of beauty.
I'll still go for the Ravens over the other two.
They've had the most-success in he past 25 years (in our division), but their fans aren't NEARLY as inflammatory and PsOS like the other 2 fanbases are and they had good, decent players, that never played dirty or out to injure people (outside of Ray Lewis; I NEVER lump him in with the good guys), like McCarary, Boulware, Sharper, Adams, McCallister, near the millennium and Mosely, Ngata, Kruger, Suggs, Webb, Daryl Smith, etc., more recently.
We've also played them tough since they came into the league; if they beat us, it's because they have a truly good team, unlike the other two that get by on fluke and dirty play (moreso the Stoolers than the Browns).
That was a great play by Hubbard, gonna watch the game again to see who he beat.
And agree on the Ravens, they are in the Division so have to dislike them but they are the classiest team in our Division with
fans who actually know the game and have respect unlike the other 2 as you say Truck.
