I'm not going to put up a poll because we're all a bunch of homers. However, numbers don't lie... http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-gameday/09000d5d824529a4/Better-defense-Ravens-or-49ers btw Sanders is a huge hater.

Well Paul Angerer has 20 more tackles than Willis on the year, so he must be a better player right? I mean stats don't lie - right?

Or maybe, just maybe, it's because the Colts defense is on the field so much he gets a lot more opportunities for tackles? And their run defense is so bad, that teams don't even need to really throw on them - so he gets even more chances for tackles?

Stats don't always determine who the BETTER PLAYER is....

You're right! Wy do you think Patrick Willis led the nfl as a rookie in tackles and his second year? Our offense sucked ass
Are you really trying to disprove me that smith > Ngata with that? Lol, I'm not just comparing their tackle numbers but sacks as well. Smith is the better 3-4 DE period. Ngata had a career high 5.5 sacks last year. His pro bowl year in 09 he had 36 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Those are mediocre to just about any year that smith has had except his last year in Cinci

I think you're confused my friend I'm a 49ers and Justin smith fan first!

Smith is having a better overall season this year. Ngata does a good job of taking up 2 blockers, he's like a 2nd NT out there. From what I've seen, Smith is the much better pass rusher while Ngata is a little better stuffing the run.

im not even worried about ray lewis. i am worried about the pressure from suggs/ngata - really going to give our o-line a test. i am worried about keeping ed reed away from the ball. dont get me wrong ray lewis makes that team a heck of a lot better but they have better players in my mind in terms of the big play.
