People that think Clark has sucked are the same people who thought Ford was awesome.
You're not really watching if you think that. |

Clark plays disciplined football and doesn’t abandon his assignment to chase QB pressure no matter what. I admire what it brings to the table. He’s an all-around end. |

And he requires game planning. His presence allows opportunities to other players as the offense shifts protection left to deal with him. It opens up things for Jones and Ogbah/Okafor on the other side, and we're seeing some benefits already.

This. Clark brings so much more to the defense from setting the end to maintaining his gap assignment and getting push into the pocket. He’s a big reason we aren’t giving up huge runs over and over again.

I can’t analyze defensive players very well. I don’t know if he’s better. I know 1 thing tho: $100M + #1 pick buys me Kalil Mack. Or else I don’t do that deal.

That's fine, it means Jones and Okafor/Ogbah/Kpass get opportunities. He's been excellent against the run, snuffed out screens, and is still pushing the pocket. The numbers will come. Ford, on the other hand, either beat the LT at the snap or did nothing. He was subpar against the run, and had no real instincts as far as the complete game. He's not a physical player, he relied on speed and beat you at the snap or got stonewalled. If you can't see the difference, I don't know what to tell you except that you clearly don't know as much about football as you think you do. |

IF all we need is what you described, you could have had that for like 1/4th of the price. No, for what he's being paid and what they gave up, you need all that an the numbers. He needs to ****ing wreck games, not "push the pocket". |

by the end of the regular season you'll see. He'll have double-digit sacks, and then all of y'all who use that stat to determine a DE/edge player's worth will chill out. Right now, teams are gameplanning to neutralize him, which is giving Jones and the opposite DE spot opportunities. We're making them pay for it, and soon they'll start playing straight up across the line and you'll see Clark getting home. |

1. Just wait till he has a monster 3-sack game so we can bump this! 2. He doesn’t have to have monster games to make a diff. |
