See, now I am confused. Two years ago Sammy Knight went to the Pro Bowl. Thus, it stands to reason that he was one of the top five safeties at his position in the league. Last year he had MORE tackles and one less INT (I think). Was the defense worse? Yes, and that affected his play as well. It\'s a domino effect that starts as a ripple up front and ends up a tital wave by the time you get to the safety.

So, what happened last year? B/c from what I\'m seeing, Sammy\'s play didn\'t drop off all that much last year from the previous year (one in which he went to the Pro Bowl). So did 20 other safeties get that much better? How did he go from top five to below 20 with no real drop off in play?
