Summary of the video's arguments -- some of which are argued better than others:
1. Never fully healthy.
2. This chart:
3. We ranked in the bottom 3rd in 2020 in passrush despite dropping major coin along the DL.
4. 6 sacks in 2020 -- there was a 7 game stretch where he had 1, and 2 sacks in the last 10 weeks of the season.
5. He doesn't change the run defense all that much.
6. 2020 postseason was "pedestrian" -- 9.8% pressure rate.
7. All of this despite being slotted next to Chris Jones.
8. As you can see in the above chart, Clark is rarely double teamed.
9. The Chiefs didn't restructure Clark this offseason, because they don't want to make it harder than it needs to be to cut him after 2021 -- saves $13m.
10. 2021 is a make-or-break year for Clark.
The good news is that Jarran Reed, like Chris Jones, is a beast in "sacks created," which should help our edge rush. [Reply]

Ingram, Houston etc.
The Chiefs clearly see the need, hence the interest in Ingram.
I don’t know when it happens, maybe not until after roster cuts, or maybe not even until during the season (e.g. Suggs), but I’m sure they add a veteran at some point. [Reply]

I'd say that signing was a success. But when you lose that many guys in one unit, eventually you're just going to run out of bodies.
My point exactly he was an upgrade from Cam Erving, he was cheap, he started right guard, right tackle (more than adequately i might add) and left tackle. Had the entire rest of the line been starters i have little doubt he would have been at least as good as Cam Erving was in spot starts at left tackle. [Reply]

Bottomline; Oline and Oline depth absolutely costs us a super bowl. That and corrupt NFL referees.
Let's review what happened on the offensive line last year.
Right before camp starts, LDT and Niang opt out.
Veach signs Osemele. He plays well until a season ending injury.
Schwartz lost for the season
Fisher lost in the AFCCG.
Going into camp, they were expecting to have the same line that just held up well against a very good SF defense. Behind them was supposed to be Niang, who opted out, Remmers, Allegretti, and Wiley. The line looked to be fine at that point. Losing LDT and Niang that late was already going to be difficult. But Veach got lucky getting Osemele. Then he went down....then Schwartz. Finally, Fisher went down too. I just don't see how you would expect any GM to do any better given those circumstances. [Reply]

Clarks been arguably as effective cost to production. Collier has been underwhelming. But i also dont think he would have been our pick if we didnt trade. [Reply]
