Who Leads the Jets in Tackles?

By Phil Sullivan Posted On October 25, 2011

Do you know? You may be surprised. It has to be David Harris, right? No. This thread from the JetNation forums pointed out the leader and I thought it was worth sharing. Mainly because I was surprised it wasn’t David Harris. It isn’t Bart Scott either, but he does so much grunt work that he really shouldn’t be leading the team in tackles.

Safety Eric Smith leads the New York Jets in tackles. Here are the top 10 tacklers on the NY Jets so far this season:

Player	Comb	Total	Assist	Sck	Fumb
Eric Smith	44	32	12	1.5	0
Bart Scott	36	28	8	2.5	1
David Harris	36	26	10	2.0	0
Calvin Pace	33	24	9	3.0	2
Jim Leonhard	27	22	5	0.0	1
Antonio Cromartie	22	17	5	0.0	0
Mike DeVito	19	15	4	1.0	1
Kyle Wilson	18	15	3	0.0	0
Darrelle Revis	20	14	6	0.0	0
Sione Pouha	21	13	8	0.0	0

I started JetNation in 2005 and have been a New York Jets season ticket holder since graduating from high school. My dream is to see the New York Jets win the Super Bowl. Until then, I will be right here on JetNation writing, dreaming and talking NY Jets football.

In typical New York Jets fashion, the team dropped a decision to the LA Rams yesterday but one of the biggest story lines had more to do with Aaaron Rodgers than it did the New York Jets.
