Quote:Because making a tackle is a "flashy" play?

 

[BAD WORD REMOVED] any team with an offense that poor could have a league leading tackler.

But you can't dismiss the league leader in takles, who happened to be a rookie, because he had no flashy plays... His job is to make tackles, he was the best in the league that year, he was a rookie, the award made sense.


Ramsey's job is to defend passes, either by break up, interception or forcing the opponent to choose an option that he is not defending. Ramsey has done a little bit of all of those things, but not enough of any of them to be considered one of the best at his position.


Bosa's job is to apply pressure to the QB, in the form of hurries knock downs and sacks. Considering he is top 15 in the league in sacks, I'd say he is doing his job well. He will more than likely win the award, deservedly so.
