Curtis Lofton leading entire NFL in tackles
 

54 tackles with a sack through 5 games is great if you ask me


We knew lofton was good, but he really is a tackling machine, our d line hopefully continuing to get pressure will aid our DB's

Start Wilson and galette!

Great post, D-88!!!!!

I'm sure his heart hurts with the current records (Saints v. Falcons).

Let's turn it around!

Wilson and Galette Def Needs That Starting Role

Re: Curtis Lofton leading entire NFL in tackles
 

That's great except that means no one else on our team is tackling.

Unfortunately our other "tagged" tackling machine is hurt. Hopefully this bye can get Hawthorne healthy and he can STAY healthy.

It's because he's the only one who can tackle anyone on our defense.

Somebody has to make up for Shanle.

Re: Curtis Lofton leading entire NFL in tackles
 

The MLB is supposed to lead the team in tackles in a 4-3 defense... At least he is doing his job very well leading the league!

If only we had a good d-line...

great pick up

Re: Curtis Lofton leading entire NFL in tackles
 

Not to play Devil's Advocate here, but his tackles wouldn't be near as high if our defensive line weren't allowing 4-6 yards up the middle on the majority of run plays. Less tackles wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if he had some help in front of him. Even still, it's good to see at least someone is making some plays.

And has several users have posted - the Saint Linebackers, including Shanle, could be that much better when the front four line play improves...
