He has been quite of late.

Was thinking the same. He had just one or two tackles last game, which seems almost unheard of for London.

This also explains I think why our run defense has been lagging. Haven't heard anything about London being nicked up so I wonder if he's truly slowing down w/ age

Going into the season I had this fear that this was year Fletch would just drop in production due to age...but I'm not sure that's necessarily the case right now. It was commonly thought that a strong DL would benefit the linebackers (namely Fletch) but I wonder if the DL is just so good that few opportunities are getting past them and to the linebackers. Thereby lowering the stats for guys like Fletch

It would certainly reducle the number of tackles guys like Fletcher get, but it should INCREASE their opportunities for turnovers and big plays, shouldn't it?

I believe this could be the case, the sacks have steadily increased as the season has progressed...meaning the ball carriers aren't even getting into London's territory.

Sadly, he has slowed down, at least statistically from that blazing start that would have guaranteed a Pro Bowl.

He's still one of the better LBs in the NFL, but his tackles have diminished lately.

Weekly tackle totals: 18,9,16,9,7,6,6,4,2

Still on pace for 136 tackles if he can regain his first-half form.



Still going to vote for him, he's been cheated out of it his whole career.
