This is like talking to a child.
If a guy gets a lot of tackle stats but they occur downfield because he doesn't make a play sooner, is that as valuable as a guy who gets fewer tackle stats but makes tackles that stop drives thus getting fewer chances.
There are 11 guys on the field. He isnt the only one tasked with stopping the play. If he makes the tackle at a high rate that means he does a good job of knowing what is going on and making a good read and being in position to do what a defender is supposed to.
The guys regarded as the best LBs in the league rack up high tackle numbers. Because of pursuit effort and instinct.
Vrey aint one of the best in the league but he would be a nice piece to have back at a reasonable price. Hopefully we cut AJ Hawk and give that paycheck to Vrey.
