London Fletcher

Posted on 06:46 by Unknown
So Robs has never given much respect to London Fletcher and said before the season started that he was old and slow. It just is not the case. Fletcher has been one of the best at his position for years and is again having a strong season.

From ESPN's Dan Graziano, "Fletcher was all over the field Sunday, making five tackles, hitting Kolb twice and collecting an interception. He blitzed out of the Redskins' shifting, confusing defensive fronts as if he'd been playing in them his whole career. The Redskins' linebackers were the stars of the defensive show as the banged-up secondary kept losing players to injury, and Fletcher led them."

In fact, if you look at the numbers of Fletcher and Urlacher they are comparable and have been comparable over the last several years. In fact, it appears that Fletcher's numbers are better than Urlacher's.

For whatever reason, similar to the "experts," Robs doesn't give respect to Fletcher. It's similar to Robs case with Rexy. The numbers do not lie.

Again, Fletcher is one of the best at his position. The numbers do not indicate how big of a leader he is on the defense both in terms of coaching guys and motivating his entire team. There is no stat for that.
