Griffin's tackle rate signals a quieter SAM, but more rush upside

Smith averaged 6.57 tackles per start (46 in seven) at strong-side linebacker, while Griffin's 39 defensive tackles in nine starts is 4.33 per start. However, Griffin has one sack and one forced fumble this year, and over 51 career games he's added four sacks and four pass knockdowns. The Bombers may trade tackle volume for a more physical, blitz-capable SAM against Edmonton's 12-4 offense.
