Week 17 IDP Rankings: Linebackers

By Antonio D'ArcangelisDec 31st 2010 – 2:00PM

When the Patriots drafted Mayo tenth overall in the 2008 NFL Draft, this is the Jerod Mayo they envisioned -- a defensive leader who'd provide a strong tackling presence to complement NT Vince Wilfork in the middle of the 3-4 . Typically, the biggest weakness of the 3-4 is its vulnerability to gouging runs up the middle,...

Week 16 IDP Rankings: Linebackers

By Antonio D'ArcangelisDec 23rd 2010 – 4:30PM

Once again, Patriots RILB Jerod Mayo racked up a huge tackle total. He posted a game-high 16 tackles (10 solos) in the exciting victory over the Packers, and still leads the NFL with 164 tackles through just 14 games.

Just 12 games into the 2010 season, Stephen Tulloch has already eclipsed his 2009 tackle total. While there are a few reasons for this, but the simplest explanation is that the Titans' offense stinks, and Tulloch – who's now a part of the nickel package as well – is on the field for more plays. But Tulloch is...

Week 13 IDP Rankings: Linebackers

By Antonio D'ArcangelisDec 2nd 2010 – 1:30PM

Just about all of the linebackers in Sunday night's Steelers-Ravens tilt get my vote of confidence this week. After all, this grudge match will feature several of the best in the league, and these combatants almost always step up in big contests. Neither team yields especially favorable numbers to opposing linebackers,...
