neither seems to have the sideline to sideline speed to get to the corner and keep runners from getting around the outside. We got so spoiled with guys like White, Queen and D Jones who could get to the outside and run down runners. Doesn't help that our DE's crash inside so often, especially Ali Gaye. They don't help with containment at all.

Actually, I think they both have good straight line speed. For example, in the second half, after Clark failed to get to the edge because he took a bad angle and got caught up by blockers, he ran down the RB from behind when he was going down the side line. Good speed is nullified by poor angles, inability to shed blocks and assignment confusion.
