Matt Peart is not a horrible tackle. Only two sacks allowed this year.
Frank is back. |

He's not flashy, but he's pretty dependable. He can't hang with guys for 3 seconds, but he's not gonna get roasted in 1 either. The problem was the dueling failures we were seeing early in the year. When the coverage was there, the rush failed. When the rush was there, the coverage failed. Neither element was as universally ineffective as it seemed in real time - sometime the rush WAS effective (the Chiefs were maintaining a good pass rush win rate even when they appeared to be trash) or the coverage was - they just complemented each others suck perfectly. Ward and Thornhill should beef up the reliability in the coverage units so that more of the effective pass rushes will get home. And adding Ingram, a moderately effective Clark and getting Jones home from the interior will help keep the coverage from being exposed when they have a lapse. There's a lot of potential complementary defense to play here, especially if Reed and Nnadi can find their form on the interior and Hitchens can backfill for Niemann (however they choose to do so) and keep him off the field. |

It's worth noting that you've never been able to hold your wad when it comes to Frank Clark.
Any modest signs of improvement and you're all-in again. It's been an actual sign of things to come once. You can tell skill from luck by its duration - show me it was no accident, Frank. |

Yea, Ward is clearly not 100% either. You get him healthy while keeping him on the field over the next couple weeks and that should help as well.

This was the continuation of a 14 month long trend of Clark being completely ineffective. And you think NOW he's suddenly a monster? How the hell healthy do you think a guy can get in 20 days? The absolutely BEST case scenario for Frank Clark is that he's lazy. That's really the best hope. That he's still good and just elects not to be for prolonged periods. So MAYBE he'll go ahead and elect to be good for awhile. That would be neat. But more likely is that he's still not that good and he's still kinda lazy. |

The complexion of the defense changes dramatically if we get the recent versions of Clark and Jones added with Ingram.
We had the worst pass rush in the entire league 3 weeks ago. No wonder everywhere else sucked. Fix the pass rush, bench Neimann for Gay and give Thornhill Sorenson’s snaps. Do that and the defense is suddenly competent |

Tyrann Mathieu. I can’t help but think he’s a bit of a front runner, not necessarily in a bad way, but in the sense that his personality is great when things are going good, and borderline toxic when they’re going terribly. |

Clark looked like he was limping as he came off the field Monday night. Not optimistic about him being healthy any time soon.
