It is a statement about our 2006 D that he led the team in tackles.......a BAD statement. He was asked to do to many things on this team, to do them all well. He is PURE FOOTBALL. I wish I enjoyed what I do, as much as he does. He deserves to go. Congrats ST

ST could become the most dominant safety since Ronnie Lott. ST does sometimes change the outcome of games. ST does make opponents fear going across the middle and has an impact even when he isn't making tackles.

That said, ST got beat for a lot of plays. Stallworth killed him on a double-move for a long TD, Steven Jackson made him look silly on a long TD run in which Taylor was stumbling and bumbling and didn't even touch him. Taylor whiffed on Rams TE Dominique Byrd's first catch in the NFL and got beat for a TD. Moreover, ST only had ONE INT this season. I'm happy he's going, but I am not sure his play (or any other Redskins defender's) merited a Pro Bowl nod.

I'm not sure why people get all upset about the ST debate. I think everyone agrees that he has the potential to be the best safety in the league, wouldn't trade him for any other safety, and is happy he is going to Hawaii. I think everyone could also agree that, for whatever reason, his 2006 season was not exactly top-notch.
