Not quite. Clark played fine. Ward is terrible. Clark was routinely set up to get chipped, so instead you collapse the pocket and maintain pass rush lane leverage, taking away throwing lanes as well as areas for the QB to escape (as such in that sack video a few pages back).

I think the most surprising thing I saw was that Wilson got nickel snaps and Darron Lee was a weakside base set LB and nothing else.

Interesting note: the 2007 SB Giants amazing defense under Spags gave up 80 combined points in the first 2 weeks of that season.

I thought they tackled well. I thought they flowed to the ball well. The LB's actually hit the gaps, which was nice.
Breeland was invisible out there, which is a good thing. Sadly, HBD was also invisible out there which is a bad thing. And Frank Clark was disappointing. Dude was going up against a 3rd string LT and got very little pressure. We made what could be a career day for a backup QB that no one has ever heard of before. But, some of it is a bit-misleading. The bulk of his work were throws into the flats and screens. The pass rush was poor, which was my biggest worry about this D.

Everyone assumes that Spags is gonna run all these games and stuff and maybe he will, but they need to get pressure with 4 and let the backs drop |

And while Ward's coverage did in fact suck, he too, like the rest of the D, did pretty well in the tackling department. There were some plays early on around the LoS where i was like, "Who's that? Oh shit that's Ward, nice tackle"

Lonzo Ball can't be a premier PG in this league because for as good as his court vision is, he can't shoot. If you can't shoot, teams will back off you and close up your passing lanes. A premier PG, even if he's not an amazing shooter in his own right, has to be a credible threat to force other teams to respect him. That makes the job easier for everyone else on the court. Even on days that Clark isn't racking up sacks, he's gotta be a credible threat. He has to be occupying double teams and making the job easier elsewhere. And at times Jones will be doing that as well. Even when Clark isn't the one getting the sacks, the pass rush will still go 'through' him when its at its best. Teams will be forced to reckon with him, provide more help out wide and give Jones some space to work. He simply has to draw more attention than he did Sunday.

I believe that's 'honey badger'...uh...'dawg'?
Maybe just a spare consonant in there.
