[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 862831"] I find enough vagaries and unanswered questions in this post that I don't know where to begin other than: 1) It sounds like you're proposing a 4-3 defense, which is somewhat interesting as an academic exercise, but we're not going there, at least for 2020. 2) No runner came near Mostert's performance this season against this defense, and Mostert came nowhere near this kind of performance against any other defense including some worse than this one. And you will never, ever again see a team put this many points up while throwing the ball only 8 times. I would guard against knee-jerk overreactions to these wild outliers. We know there are some issues with the defense, upgrades at ILB and a DE position, but this beat down was more about a very bad game plan and failure to adjust with probably too much pass rush sell-out from the guys up front. 3) Perry had a good season in 2016 and the Packers signed him to a very nice deal. Like I said, it wasn't very often he was available enough or playing well enough to get to high snap counts. But that was not always the case. 4) OLBs need rest snaps to stay fresh, whether or not that means having your best players off the field from time to time. This is also true of DLs. It's also something you do to extend careers. Getting to the end of a season with the crap beat out of you, on the injury report or not, over time takes the mental edge off a guys game. Raji was over-played and went into decline fairly quickly. The same thing happened to Wilkerson. The list goes on. The Packers risk the same with Clark if they keep up what they are doing. They better find a way to lighten his snaps if they expect to get their money's worth over the next 4 years. [/QUOTE]
