I was looking at Elimimian's stats and see that after a slow start coming off the Achilles injury he's quietly re-assumed his usual spot on top of the CFL tackle leader board. If he continues his pace of the past 6 games he stands a good chance of rewriting his own records. One thing that might hurt is that he no longer plays special teams.
In 2014 he registered 144 tackles, 8 of which were on special teams.
This year he recorded 36 tackles in the first 7 games, just over 5 per game. In the 6 games since then he's amassed 64 or nearly 11 per game. Sitting at an even 100 he'd need 45, average of 9 per game over the remaining 5, to surpass his 2014 number of 144. He'd need 37 defensive tackles to top the 136 DTs of '14.

He is a tackling machine.
Be nice if the D Line got more tackles. Although the scheme might funnel runners toward Solly, this fan thinks that our DL has not been as dynamic as one might hope.
