I'd trade the extra 0.75 tackles per game for the guy who had a combined 10 INT's and forced fumbles in a single season. Turnovers are perhaps the most important statistic in football games, and Odell was a machine in that category. Plus it's not like his tackle numbers were bad or anything. 98 is a solid number.
I respect Dhani. He did stabilize the position for awhile and he's a total class act. I just think Odell was a special player. That's why his fall was such a shame. I actually think Benson vs Hill is closer because Benson was pretty outstanding in '09. Imo, Dhani never had a season on par with Odell's.
Once again going to averages instead of what they actually did.
I guess I just looked at it as what they did under Marvin; not what they could have done.
Odell was a 1st class screw up and lasted one year because of himself. Others can put him there; I won't. Hell I'd put Rey as #2.
