I picked him quite high to ensure a good LB....So far my pickup of Ruud is doing twice as well....Any thoughts to why Ryans isn't getting 10 tackles a game like last year?

Ryans isn't doing any wrong, but the Texans def is actually getting teams off the field. the texans have spent several high draft choices and high $$$ FA money on its DL, and the investment seems to finally be paying off. He just does not have the opportunity that to make tackles that he did in 2006. Season is still early though.
this guy has 16tkl, 1ff, 1pd in 2 gamesROTFL

I haven't heard AJ is out for 5 weeks. Did hear they should possible know more Friday. However, I agree the D will most likely see the field more.

PFT rumored the 5 weeks this morning, but the official word from the team is revaluation on Friday.

Ryans is a stud.
I agree 100% that it's opportunities, not Ryans, that's the issue. In 2006, Houston made 935 tackles (solo plus assist, so there may be some double counting in there). Of those, Ryans had 156, or 16.7%. This year, Houston has 99 solos + assists, of which Ryans has 15 for 15.2%. That's a little off, but then, as others have pointed out, the defense is better. He won't get a monopoly on tackles any more. All that said, 15.2% of 935 tackles is still 142.
Meanwhile, projecting those 99 tackles over a 16 game season gives 792--143 less than last year. Even at 16.7%, that means Ryans loses around 24 tackles on the season.
Bottom line: I think it's realistic to expect his numbers to take a bit of a hit this year, but that still leaves him as an elite lb.
P.S. I apologize for all the run-on stats--I took a shot of Nyquil in anticipation of my allergies driving me to bed early and I'm not sure I'm thinking too clearly!

Do you expect Rudd to finish as the #1 LB? He's on a 192 tackle pace. I think you're doing fine with both and Ryans should be your #1 LB soon.

From what I saw of the CAR game, their defense barely saw the field and he still had 7 solos (and a miss on the SS TD where he broke DeMeco's initial tkl then 3 more). All CAR drives where they did anything were quick and most other drives were 3&outs
Anyone else expecting 10+ tkls and probably a couple PD's this week? I think vs. Indy, its a good bet
