Because it takes more than one guy.Originally posted by call_me_ishmael View PostI ask again - if Kenny Clark is so good, we is the run D always so bad?I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud

Because I'm not sure who the best DT has been, but I am sure that Clay was the most over rated packer in my lifetime.Originally posted by RashanGary View PostAnother weird stat, Preston Smith is 8 sacks away from passing Clay Matthews career sacks number.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

According to Pro Football Reference, Clay is at 91.5 and Preston is at 62.0. That's 29.5 sacks away, but I did avoid new math and new new math, so maybe you have a different way of subtracting.Originally posted by RashanGary View PostAnother weird stat, Preston Smith is 8 sacks away from passing Clay Matthews career sacks number.

My poor memory is that he was a monster his first four or five years, then dropped off quickly and significantly, though his reputation did not fade as quickly as his playing did.Originally posted by bobblehead View PostBecause I'm not sure who the best DT has been, but I am sure that Clay was the most over rated packer in my lifetime."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I think that's right. The injuries, especially hamstrings took their effect fairly quickly.Originally posted by Fritz View PostMy poor memory is that he was a monster his first four or five years, then dropped off quickly and significantly, though his reputation did not fade as quickly as his playing did.I can't run no more

The last 30 years? Gilbert Brown, Santana Dotson, Grady Jackson, Ryan Pickett, Mike Daniels, BJ Raji and Kenny Clark would be the most likely contenders. Dotson was very good, Brown might be the best of the bunch. Doesn't hurt that he's a fan favorite.
Remember when Gute brought Snacks Harrison in for like 3 snaps?
