Just how good is Big Tarik?

After reading a story on Tony Ugoh in the Indystar, this jumped out at me:

According to STATS Premium Statistical Service, Glenn has yielded a total of 103/4 sacks in the past four regular seasons. Compare that to the other premier tackles over that stretch: Seattle's Walter Jones (211/2), Dallas' Flozell Adams (211/2), Washington's Chris Samuels (203/4), St. Louis' Orlando Pace (191/2), Baltimore's Jonathan Ogden (19) and Cincinnati's Willie Anderson (12).


A lot of credit has to go to Manning and o-line Howard Mudd, but Tarik is clearly one of the best in the business. Unfortunately, despite a couple of recent pro-bowls, I still don't think he gets the recognition of someone like Walter Jones, Orlando Pace, or Jonathan Odgen. Ugoh definately will have some big shoes to fill in the near future, and hopefully, he performs well.

Is there a stat for number of penalties? I could be wrong, but whenever we have a big moment, Glenn comes in with a game saving PENALTY. jk.Idk. I dont want to be critcal, he does a great job blocking, but i think he isn't considered a top-3 Tackle in the NFL due to his mental lapses.
