Thats the job of the Dline, to keep the Oline off of the Lbers. Your Lbers should be your leading tacklers on the team.

 

That's a good point.

 

Suh was the reason why the D line could successfully get in the other teams' backfields, because he allowed the Pelini bros. to scheme for that. With Suh gone, the line was set up more for containment and to match up with the offensive line so that the linebackers could make tackles.

He had such a quiet season. So many of the questions like "can he do it without Suh at his side?" went unanswered. 70 tackles, 17 TFLs, 9.5 sacks. Very solid season - but when you look at the fact that David had 152 tackles and Gomes had 99 it makes you realize how many runners were getting past the line of scrimage.

smokescreen use of statistics. By nature LBs and DBs are going to lead teams in tackles. On the list of tackle leaders nationwide the first D-Lineman doesn't show on the list until 96th with 94 tackles. I see that he had 14.5 TFLs. His numbers don't appear too far off the elite D-Linemen.
