Interesting stat, you interpret

So I was looking up player stats on nfl.com and saw that 4 of the top 7 tacklers come from the redskins (Landry=2 Fletcher/Hall/McIntosh=3 way tie for 7th). At first glance one might think this is a good thing, but I view it as bad. It means two things to me. 1. It means that we cannot get the other teams off the field and let them drive on us alot. 2. It means that many of our players are not pulling their weight and these guys are covering for others mistakes. You could argue that it is a result of our scheme where certain players are supposed to get tackles, which might be true and probably contributes, but I am not buying it as a full on explanation as to why we have 4 of the top 7 tacklers on our team.
