I didn't want to bring up my team because I don't want it to look like I'm pimping my guys. The only "award" I care about other than World Bowls will be getting James Lockette in our Hall of Fame whenever he retires.
It's just a general point that in my opinion, high tackle numbers aren't a measure of how good a player is. It likely means he's the best player on a bad defense who always has to cover up the mistakes of his teammates.
When I vote, I generally look at INT's and catch %.
Agreed....In my XFL league, I have a thread which tracks single game, single season and alltime career stats for everything from passing to kicking to defense.
The top single season record for tackles after 8 full seasons is from a 3-13 team with the 31st ranked defense (153 tackles).
2nd alltime is from an 0-16 team with the 24th ranked defense (142 tackles)
3rd alltime is from a 4-11-1 team with the 25th ranked defense (139 tackles)
4th alltime is from a 3-13 team with the 28th ranked defense (137 tackles)
5th alltime is from a 6-10 team with the 22nd ranked defense (136 tackles)
