He just brought a level of consistent aggression that we simply didn't have. His approached the game with the attitude Clark was sold as having.
He went out there looking to make his opponents life difficult every single snap. Even when he was taken out of a play, he made sure to make the guy across from him work for it.
He just looked like a miserable mother****er to be matched up against. He was like the defensive version of Trey Smith. Smith didn't win every rep, but he made you feel it even when he lost. And if he lost, it was because you beat him and not because he just jaked the play.
Now perhaps additional exposure would make it different for him, but that's such a prideful guy that I just can't see him being a player that takes plays, drives, quarters....even
games off. He may run out of gas out there, but he won't pre-emptively pull the chute.
We have far too many veteran defensive players, many of whom were highly paid, who you cannot say that about.
