WEEK BY WEEK SUMMARY

Season: 73 total tackles (52 solo). Needs 5 more to surpass George Coghill's season record.
 
Week 10 vs Centurions: Starts at SLB. Makes 11 tackles (7 solo) to extend record. Also named Club Co-MVP after season.

Week 5 vs Fire: Starts at SLB. 4 tackles (3 solo). Has his quietest game of the season so far, but is part of a terrific defensive effort that holds the Fire to 180 total yards and keeps them out of the end zone.
Week 4 at Cologne: Starts at SLB. Initially credited with 4 solo tackles and 2 assists - however it appears that he has been credited with 4 more solo tackles based on season totals.
Week 3 vs Admirals: Starts at SLB. Makes 5 solo tackles and 3 assists to lead the defense for 3rd straight week. Helped hold Admirals to 196 total yards. (We think Ryan was credited with an extra assist during the week).
