    Most career interceptions, franchise history

    45 – Jim Norton (S) 1960–1968
    31 – Cris Dishman (CB) 1988–1996
    30 – Fred Glick (S) 1961–1966
    27 – Tony Banfield (CB) 1960–1965
    27 – W.K. Hicks (CB) 1964–1969
    27 – Darryll Lewis (CB) 1991–1998
    26 – Mike Reinfeldt (S) 1976–1983
    25 – Ken Houston (S) 1967–1972
    24 – Zeke Moore (CB) 1967–1977
    23 – Michael Griffin (S) 2007–2014
    23 – Willie Alexander (CB) 1971–1979
    23 – Samari Rolle (CB) 1998–2004
    22 – Marcus Robertson (S) 1991–2000

    That seems like a lot of picks in an era where the ball wasn't thrown all that much.

    So Michael Griffin has had the ball fortuitously fall into his hands 23 times?

    Griffin has received so much unnecessary and undeserved hate.

    His tackling leaves a lot to be desired but when he is left alone in center field to play the ball he one of the better safeties in the league.

    Leave Griff alone.


    We have one safety who can't cover but tackles and another that can't tackle but covers.

    That Chris Dishman==Darryll Lewis CB tandem was killer.

    I wouldn't say MG can cover.

    But he is very good at being in the right place at the right time.

    I think the past two years he has excelled in essentially catching punts QBs decided to toss up. Griffin is by no means a ball hawk.

    The last time Griffin made a legitimate play on the ball was in 2008 against the Ravens in the regular season. He actually broke on the ball and got in front of the receiver.

    Ahhh, back when he was good.
