Five tackles in only a hand full of snaps per game? Might wanna get him more snaps then.

Tackles aren't even an official statistic, so I wouldn't look too much into that. Nothing is going to change my opinion on Desmond Bishop being overrated by Packer fans because it's well, my opinion, so i'm just going to let it go because I like the kid and don't really like talking negatively about any of our players. Please, i'm not basing my opinion of Desmond Bishop off on one play, so stop with that talk. He's a nice player to have in the rotation but he's never going to be an every down player in this Defense until he proves he can be counted on in various roles. If he hasn't seen enough playing time to be considered overrated or underrated then why is he considered this untradeable commodity? The almighty P word? *Potential* I'd like to see Bishop get some more playing time as well, maybe he'll prove me wrong, heck i'd love that. Right now Bishop is a one dimensional LB, which is again, why he's a situational player right now even though Barnett is struggling.

Why in the hell does the NFL's website track them then?

---

Who knows, but it's not an official statistic, that's pretty much common knowledge. There's a reason why tackle tallies sometimes differ from site to site...

Why is tracked? C'mon I want an answer, after all this is 'common knowledge' right? So provide the answer. Shouldn't be too hard, should it?

---

NFL.com tackles is pretty accurate, I have a window open during the game, and they get updated just about correct.

---

I see you're a tough guy, good stuff. I have no idea why it's tracked, but anyone who follows the NFL closely enough knows that tackles aren't an official statistic. Nobody holds the all-time tackle record, nobody has an official single season tackle record, why? Because the NFL doesn't recognize it as an official statistic! Man this is silly, don't even know why I responded.

EDIT

---

lol I'm not a tough guy, but don't spout off unless you can back it up. You say its common knowledge that tackles are not an official stat. Yet, they are tracked by even the NFL!!!

Here, maybe this one you can answer. Where can I find a list of OFFICIAL stats. I need some help on the whole common knowledge on what's an official stat and what is not.

edit, since you seem incapable of backing up what you say ... I'll help you.
http://www.nfl.com/history/randf  if you go by whats on that link, tackles are not documented there.

Thats only because they didnt make it official until like 01.
