4-5 pass hurries today and 1.5 sacks? If that's correct why you mad?

And how many plays is he opening up for others by drawing attention?

How I'm leaning. I need Clark to be a Khalil Mack for what we gave up. So far haven't seen it.

I HATE WINNING :deevee:

Go to bed, junior

It will come.

Ford is Lin Elliott to me. Will never forgive him for being offsides.

I am holding out judgement til playoff performance.

FYP.

We desperately needed to get the Dee Ford stench off this team. A message had to be sent.

What attitude have you seen from our defense?

I've literally said nothing like that. Just because we're winning doesn't mean we're not underperforming in some areas. I thought we learned that the last 7 years.

Here’s today’s game plan:

Keep Jackson contained in the pocket and take away the tight end.

And it worked.

Chubb and Von still have zero sacks this year. Mack has two sacks and a FF, Clark has 1.5 and a pick. All have around the same combined and solo tackles I believe. Stop making this shit out to be so black and white. The dline performed fine today given the task of keeping the most mobile-explosive QB in the NFL from taking a read option to the house because a dend wanted to scrape hard and got pinned.

Seriously? You don't see a difference?

Yeah I agree. I think after his major **** up they had to get rid of him. I was just using him as an example. Either him or Houston would work.

No I saw it, but he's getting paid $21 mil/year. I think the bar has to be set a little higher than him almost making a play. It's almost as bad as all the Alex Smith ballwashers and their alexcuses. It's like when people would blame the O-Line and say things like "Well if the line have him time to throw!", then Patrick Mahomes comes in with the same line and makes Fischer an all pro. Some of you are doing the same thing with Clark, "it's hot out", "it's a new scheme", "he's being double teamed", but that stuff doesn't seem to hinder anyone else on the D Line. Emmanuel Ogbah, Kpass, and Alex Okafor are all backups and they're all as productive or more productive than Clark. That's horrible considering the contracts of everyone on the D line and how much theyre making this year.

Ogbah - $2.1 million
Okafor - $6 million
Jones - $1.2 million
Nnadi - $1 million
KPass - $1.2 million
Saunders - $1 million
Total - $12.5 million this year

Frank "I Get Double Teamed" Clark - $21 million

So we're paying the $33.5 million this year on D Line and Clark accounts for 67% of that. It's not a good thing if your highest paid defensive lineman (highest paid player on the team) is the least productive player on that line. Hell he's probably the least productive starter on defense. Wards made a few decent plays compared to Clark's sack, a TFL, and an int. But I will give him credit for having the most "almost made plays".

Seeing as how we're on the bottom half of sacks in the league... You tell me.
