Clarks numbers are even more impressive when you consider all the dline and secondary that were hurt all year.

That makes them less impressive. It stands to reason that when all of those good players get hurt, the remaining good players will make more tackles. This is for two reasons. 1. On each play there are fewer good players to compete with for the tackle and 2. There are more plays because the defense can't get off the field, so more opportunities to make plays.

Still, a great performance that was expected by few Ranters besides this one, who was singing Damone's praises the season before.
