In addition - you are in a tough league - but there are 2 all CPU rosters...and one mostly CPU roster....and all 3 are defending the pass better than your team is.
Edit - also for your tackles -- the fact that you're running the cover 2 sink / fire zone stuff means the middle of the field is pretty much always open for 4 yard runs. That leads to easy tackles for your linebackers. That doesn't indicate a well built player...
I've only watched one of your games - but vader had a lot of tackles....most on the run: 17 tackles against the run - gave up an average of 3.88 yards. Pretty much any LB can do that.
Beyond all of that - Vader is playing 71 snaps per game. You play him a TON - and your D hasn't been great...so again...more opportunities to rack up stats.
Just looking at my 3 blitzing linebackers -- my LB's have played 49, 45 and 32 snaps per game. Vader plays 120%; 44% and 57% more than my blitzing LB's. Another trick for accumulating stats.
