Over at the Ram Stalk I just saw a thread where some bozo blamed the Walton firing on "Fishers arrogance of waiving Mikell" or something like that...
So, since McDonald was essentially playing the role Mikell played while McCleod replaced Dahl I just took a quick glance at the stats.
Mikell: 59 tackles, 2 FF , 3 sacks (14 games)
TJ: 52 tackles, 1 INT , 1 sack (10 games)
Obviously, tackles don't necessarily paint an accurate picture for safety play...but I think that using those numbers to compare a couple safeties that are somewhat "box safeties" it is definitely relevant.
TJ is young and already effective...he is going to continue to progress. Mikell appears to have leveled off and likely will continue to trend downward.
