For a team to invest $100 million in a defensive player, you expect an impact or a player that tilts the field opposite him. On Sunday, Clark had four pressures and a sack — and almost half the snaps trying to take him away. This week he certainly earned that respect.

I said the same exact thing after the game on Sunday after watching it live and got told I didn't know what I was watching. [Reply]

Right smack in the middle of the pack. Everyone said all we need is an "average defense". Well you are seeing it so far.
Never mind the fact that most of you are overlooking is we have had the hardest strength of schedule in the AFC thus far while New England has literally had the easiest.
I just want a defense that can get a clutch stop and create turnovers. We all know in that Ravens game if we didn't ice it with that first down and had to punt we were probably gonna lose. [Reply]
Damn this really makes all those people that denied Clark getting a ton of attention and the Ravens running away from him look really hard headed. [Reply]
Yea over reaction Planet. People are obsessed with sacks. I’ll take 15th ranked D over lead leader in sacks and 31st ranked D. The D made several stops on 3rd down. Harbaugh just had balls of steel going for it so much on 4th down and 2 pts. But I think we will start seeing more of it, because teams know you can’t punt and beat us.
But I will say my favorite play last week was after so many guys had tried to ankle tackle Jackson, ole Frank just jumped on his back like a borrowed mule. I don’t know that I’ve seen that very often. He wasn’t going to break that tackle. All the attention that Clark is demanding is letting Ogbah and Kpass look good. Hopefully HB is starting to get it together and they are all getting on the same page. We don’t need no stinking CB! Lol. I mean cuz I was told Fuller was the highest rated tackling CB! [Reply]

I wasn't necessarily talking about that game but in general that's what I want most out of the D. But about the Ravens game, yes they did stop their 2-point tries and that was big. And they did force a punt in the 4th quarter that was huge. Baltimore's last 3 possessions were TD, FG, TD. I know they got lucky as fuck on a couple of those passes and also lucky as fuck Honey Badger didn't intercept a ball in the end zone that hit him right in the hands.
That game was starting to feel like the Chargers game last year when we owned them all game and then all of a sudden they can't be stopped. Thankfully our offense took care of business and didn't give them the chance. [Reply]
Half the snaps trying to take him away and half didn't try to take him away? How is that a stat that shows he was good? Im really not understanding how this is a stat showing that he changed the game. I'd understand if it was like >60%. Someone explain this to me. [Reply]
