2019 Season Top Priority: O line

[bobblehead]

I also remember the part where you said his play we drop off a cliff after he got busted for juicing.

Actually you do not. I NEVER once said that.

[bobblehead]

I have far too much understanding for how juicing works. You don't lose all the gains. I also knew what kind of motor he had. I was probably the first poster on this board to say we needed to move him to ILB (and first to say Hyde was a safety)

[Rutnstrut]

I have been on the cut/trade Clay train for a long time. I think he has played pretty decent this year though. Plus the big thing is he seems to have gotten over his chronic injuries. IF they can talk him into taking a pay cut, I say keep him.

no kidding.

I'm mostly joking about the juicing. Clay is in his thirties now. That more than anything is responsible for any drop off.

[bobblehead]

I still like clay for what he is. A high motor football player with above average talent. That makes him top 10 at LB when healthy AND USED PROPERLY. I'd love him back for half the price and the agreement that he will play all over and almost never line up on the edge and try to beat a tackle.

...and almost never line up on the edge and try to beat a tackle.

I've been begging for an end to this for most of his career. At the very least against most LTs - total waste of his talent.

Some people say ...

Seriously, many have implied it over the years. I'd look it up but its Christmas so I just want to be happy he hustles unlike most on defense.
