Ok, lots of guys around here the that T-sucky can't get it done.

I agree that (a) he hasn't been a playmaker in the passing game, and (b) he costs way to much.

However, did you know that he tied Jonathon Vilma for solo tackles this year? In fact, he's tied for 27th place in tackles in the entire NFL? In fact, only three other safeties had to make as many tackles, and those three had either 1 or 2 INTs too.

Is it possible that Safeties who are asked to make as many contributions to defending the run as these four are just unlikely to be able to make plays in the secondary? Mere speculation I'm sure, but what do you guys think?
