All of this Telvin Smith weight talk has me thinking of a crucial observation:

 

Out of 104 tackles I saw only 7 or 8 where his size was really an issue. 

 

While he will undoubtedly put on a few more pounds, I think his speed is his greatest asset, and I don't want to see him compromise that by adding too much weight. 

 

Regardless -  NFL players tend to get bigger and stronger during their first few years, so I'm not concerned in the slightest about Telvin. 

 

To the topic - I think they'll both have a big number of tackles and could care less who ends up with the most as long as they keep making them.
