--Isaac Sopopaga ranked 82nd out of 85 defensive tackle/nose tackles

So maybe it's just not a matter of Justin being super man but rather Sopopaga not being good enough to help pick up the slack when he's out. I thought it seemed like dude was having a bad year and now I see this

A few other things that stood out


--Willis was the top-rated inside linebacker. He was second against the run, and graded out as the best inside linebacker in pass coverage.

--Tarell Brown led the tackling efficiency stats at cornerback. He missed only one tackle all season.

--Chris Culliver allowed a reception every 13.7 snaps in coverage, fifth-best among all cornerbacks.

--Of the 21 corners who had 160 or more snaps in coverage in the slot, Carlos Rogers ranked fourth allowing a reception every 11.2 slot coverage snaps. He ranked fifth allowing 0.90 yards per snap in slot coverage.


That all speaks to just how good our pass defense has been this year... and T Brown missing only one tackle? Outstanding!
