Against the good teams, that doesn't happen. So we lost games where we scored 40 points. Hell, one we scored what, 51?

So you have to take away something, and it starts with the run. 4-3, get beef up front, run stuffer DE's like Okafor, cool. You can't run. You're going to have to throw. Honey Badger is a fierce little ****er, good run player, good pass player too. Serious attitude. gotta like that. We're on the right track. Breeland, no matter what anyone says, is an upgrade over Nelson. We're in okay shape, still got some work to do.

Now you add a serious piece like Clark; great all-around player, productive pass rusher, not a guy you leave one-on-one. Brutal, violent first step, extremely physical player. Serious attitude change. Next to Jones, your pass rush just went from a potential weakness to a serious strength.

As long as he stays out of trouble, this move was a no-brainer.

We're not going to be much better at stopping the run until we get some LB's who can shoot a gap, or at least maintain a gap. Our ILB's were awful at it last season, and that group still sucks.

I imagine there will still be a lot of roster turn over with that position group.
