Agreed. Also, the reason he's one of the leading tacklers is that the opponents are getting past the front defensive 7 as if they're not even there, and that's not a good sign.
Some on this board have been relentless in trying to pinpoint 1 or 2 players to blame for the team's woes when, in fact, most of the players are playing far below their potential. And that's a much harder pill to swallow. It's much easier to convince yourself that if 1 player were benched, all would be fine, but that's hardly the truth about this team.
