No it's based in reality, he's already broken the franchise record for tackles.
2022
Bolton - 180 Combined Tackles - 72 Assisted - 2 sacks - 2 INT
Sneed - 108 Combined Tackles - 33 Assisted - 3.5 sacks - 3 INT
The lockdown corner, days of Revis island aren't as prevalent anymore. In today's NFL everyone gets beat on passes. You're going to give up yards you just have to make sure you don't give up the big play. Hence why we could slot Williams, Cook and McDuffie into a Super Bowl winning defense. Bolton is always around the ball, and his 72 combined tackles more overshadow the only 1 extra INT a CB has for the year over a LB and only 1.5 sacks more as well. I wish we could keep them both, but I'd bet money Gay is gone, Sneed is gone, Bolton stays for a second contract when it comes time to pull that trigger. Bolton made the defensive play of the game in the Super Bowl against the Eagles that helped us stay in the game before halftime. Also now Sneed has a concussion and hip issues he's dealt with this last year where Bolton has been a beacon of consistency for his first two years in the league. I have no allegiances to MU, I have allegiances to game breakers who will be in the ring of honor one day, Bolton will go into the ring before Sneed does.
