We got this news in the top safety thread I believe, and again when the Falcons tried to sign him.

Very reliable tackler.

He played way fewer snaps than Vaccaro and I don't remember the exact count but Vaccaro may have had 2 misses on way more tackles.

Also, there is more to playing safety than tackling, though both are very good at it which is something I love.

I can't speak to that, but they both played very well. But I suppose Vaccaro, being a rookie, and being all over the place, had something to do with that.

Is this what this thread is about? Are you that petty? No one was even thinking about it.

Really? Come on it's not like blues always posts a link. And nobody ever complained to blues about that either.

i had honestly never seen it. No arguing here. I do tend to skip over some people's posts who may have posted it in the past though.

On a more serious note, Bush played 35% less snaps than Vaccaro(514 to 792).

If you were to project Bush's stats out like that(which is far from accurate but the only way to do it) he would have 56.7 total tackles, 40.5 solo tackles, 0 sacks, 0 FF, 1.35 FR, 0 ints, 6.75 PD, 1.35 stuffs, and 1.35 missed tackles.

Vaccaro had 79 total tackles, 62 solo tackles, 1 sack, 1 FF, 0 FR, 1 int, 8 PD, 5 stuffs, and I haven't found the exact missed tackle count on him yet.

Vaccaro also made a play that directly lead to us winning a game.

While I love Bush(maybe more than a lot of people admitted before Atlanta tried to sign him away) and think he is a VERY solid player, he isn't a play maker like Vaccaro has shown to be.
