Okay….does that somehow disprove what I said? Both things can be true: LB’s should have the most tackles (not necessarily) and my opinion that they’re overrated as a statistic.
Maybe you should think before making your “stupid comment” remark.
Tackles are overrated on defense like touchdowns are overrated on offense, SMH. So like I said "stupid"
There won't be a shake up in Dallas until Jerry dies or he swallows his ego and hires a real GM (which wont happen)
As a Cowboy fan I can’t say this is a great pick. Marist’s activity level always seemed greater than his production. Maybe Cowboys see him as a contributor in the Sub Nickel package. Playing 2 years in an Al Golden defense will help him in his transition to the NFL. From a learning the playbook standpoint. The Clark Lea & Marcus Freeman defenses were Stupid Simple.
As an individual player metric, yes, touchdowns are kind of overrated. Malik Nabers “only” had 3 touchdowns as a sophomore. It doesn’t mean anything. A LB making 3 tackles vs 11 doesn’t mean much without context even if it catches the eye.
Jerry is getting desperate for another Lombardi; so I could see him being willing to hire someone like Parcells again
Read Bellicek
I thought Marist Liafau sucked? And he came in for so much shit on this board, for being a liability and someone who needed to be replaced, with all these weaknesses. And now he's drafted in the NFL, and likely to stick as a third-round pick no less. Nice....
Nice try lol. Maybe like 2 people on this board and 1 scout thinks he is an instinctual player
P. Wilson had 138 tackles in one year, basically his is like a fifth safety on the field in a pass happy league. Everyone keep on harping about injuries, but he ran a 4.43 forty at the combine almost 6’4 inches at 235 lbs with a 34 inch vertical a total freak if he works out. The scary part is he has been clock at faster than 4.43 one cite had him at 4.38. He has no injuries in the last two years
Our boy ML has the NFL measurables for a linebacker and had to test out really well at a pro day or combine. He had flashes of brilliance and there were flashes of non brilliance.

on IR does not tackle anyone dude; and that is where Peyton is almost sure to end up each of the three seasons I see him lasting in the NFL
Four surgeries; two on his knees and also two on his shoulders and also hammy problems
yeah someone you want around for sure
No. Many people came on here to say exactly what I said and you can go read any scouting report. Nice try
The point is Malik Nabers “only” scored 3 touchdowns in 2022. That doesn’t mean he was a bad receiver. If a LB gets 10 tackles in a game, it doesn’t automatically mean he played well.
No. But over a 25 game stretch it does matter
Having 3 tds in a season doesnt mean he had a bad year, I dont think anyone ever said that. But the name of the game is scoring more points than your opponents. A guy that gets the ball in the endzone does mean a ton.
I referenced Nabers to demonstrate that stats don’t automatically correlate. You wouldn’t site his lack of touchdowns in 2022 to say that he wasn’t good. That’s all I’m saying. Simple.
The same principle applies to tackles. 10 tackles in a game? It sounds good but it doesn’t automatically mean the LB had a good game.
In 2019, Owusu-Koramoah, Drew White, and Asmar Bilal finished with 80, 80, and 79 tackles respectively. Were they all equally as good as one another? Probably not.
When your looking at a LB, obviously first you have to watch the film. But in terms of stats, you look at tackles, tackles for loss and sacks to go along with turning the ball over
Over a 25 game stretch, you want to see some of those stats pop. His production never really did in any of those categories
You said it yourself. “First you have to watch the film.” That’s about all I’m saying. I don’t care if one LB had 8 tackles and the other had 4. It doesn’t mean anything.
Yes, it is a little odd that Kiser has more tackles than Liufau did over the season. I’ll concede that.
He seemed to get his name called for do-nothing blitz, which was just 'Marist runs straight into offensive lineman and engages.'
Marist Liufau
Can anyone on this board share your thoughts on Marist. He is an exceptional athlete - he is a beast, but seemingly not playing up to his talent level. Is he hurt?

What do you know that the NFL doesn’t know ?
Has an NFL team hired you as their player evaluation coach. ?
