Again, different positions. Middle Linebackers typically get more tackles than outside linebackers and I won't even get into how porous the Texans D was and that Ryans was probably making most of his tackles 6-7 yards upfield (actually I'm sure he was because the Texans gave up 5.6 yards per play this year, good enough for 31st in the league) or the fact that when picking which player is better than the next that statistics shouldn't be the sole measure.
Aaron Kampman had better stats than Julius Peppers this year, would you take Kampman?
