Or maybe, as is so often the case, maybe they quit working as hard after they get paid.

2 for 1? Yeah that is a hot take.

Right now he's stealing a paycheck, pick it the **** up Frank.

Ah, Clark caused both of those INTs getting in Brady's face. The second 'roughing the passer' penalty was unacceptable though.

He's paid to show up for both regular seasons and playoffs.

What player on defense has played up to their large contract? Bc it sure ain’t Hitchens, Clark, Jones or Matheiu.

They gave us a SB tho so it’s hard to bitch about it too much

You think we should trade kpass and willie gay for tj watt?

He did okay with pressure until the helmet hits today.

Called him dee clark when it happened.

We’d better be or he’s going to be in the unemployment line come June 1 looking for a new team.

He’s been awful this year, but all will be forgiven if he balls out in the playoffs.


If he doesn’t, then they need to kick him to the curb and be done with that contract. Don’t make the Justin Houston mistake and hold on to him too long due to the contract.

I've noticed that earlier in the year, the defense was struggling against the run but doing well pressuring the QB.

For the past month or so, the run defense has been pretty good while we're essentially getting no pressure on the QB (without blitzing).

I wonder what's changed..

They can't cut him this year. $37.85M in dead cap. The soonest they can do it is after 2021.

Can't do that. They'll incur a $37,850,000 dead money by doing that after this season. He's here until at least after 2021 season.

Edit: See htis's post above mine.

him and jones have both been shit this year. do they even have 10 sacks combined?

Not even if they designate him a post June 1st cut?

If he is doing so great we wouldn't be blitzing so much. Seemed every damn play we were blitzing. Good thing Brady is 80-years old and about as mobile as a statue otherwise we'd probably got lit up.

D did good overall though but I don't think Clark did anything great this game.
