Tackles are not an official NFL statistic. Tackles are tabulated as play is happening in every press box across the NFL. Those are the stats that you see on NFL.com. But coaches view those stats as unreliable.Therefore, every NFL coaching staff goes through every game and comes up with their own numbers.Typically, there are a lot more assisted tackles added after the coaches comb through the video. For instance, 49ers leading tackler NaVorro Bowman is listed with 143 tackles on NFL.com. The 49ers coaches had him with 173 tackles.So with that in mind, here the tackle stats that the 49ers coaches came up with for this season:NaVorro Bowman: 173 (81 solo, 92 assisted)
