Like I said we can parse the stats and come to different conclusions. Hall had twice as many tackles as Champ Baily. That probably says more about who Champ Baily had playing in front of him and the scheme than it does about Hall's tackling ability or lack thereof if you believe everything being said here. That said, you still don't make 95 arm tackles, at some point you have to conclude the guy stuck his helmet and pads in somebody's chest.
