Maybe our DL is a lot better than we thought

So if/when we move on from Clark, we'll still need another guy to co-chair that DE2 position with him and ideally a 3rd complementary speed/burst rusher.

I wonder if having a guy like Karlaftis, who's sort of a supercharged version of Danna, hasn't given him a little bit of an example of what he should strive for and how he should approach his reps.

Probably not - but seeing another young guy who plays a really similar game to you but who's having a little more success could've been a nice little blueprint for him.
