Just to clarify: it's a GOOD thing that a Safety has 9+ tackles a game?
Better than one who has 9+ tackles to make and doesn't make them. I do understand that you are implying that the Griz D must be weak if our safety is forced to make all these tackles. At least two factors at play there; the Griz D has 3 safeties on the field so more safeties will be making tackles as there are more safeties to make tackles (and fewer LB's), secondly, the way the griz are playing it looks like the idea is the line occupies the blockers and the lbs and safeties clean up the ball carrier. Hence high numbers of tackles and lots of safety play up near the line of scrimmage.
