Clark was a solid player last season. He's been awful this season. What's the more likely reason for that? He all of a sudden forgot how to play football and became physically weaker in one season? Or, whatever the coaches are asking him to do isn't working and/or he's just not grasping what he's being asked to do?
This is true.
And he's a great kid/team leader type that coaches want in their locker room.
shite, we've had several formally VERY good players look average to shitty in this defense (e.g. Stevens).
Granted, he does indeed have a real problem engaging and defeating blocks. I do believe part of that problem is ALSO a result of confusion or otherwise being in the wrong place. But only a minority, most of that is on him, his physicality and mentality. I see him run around, or try to run around, blocks way to often. Sometimes it is because he's got no chance to engage and make a play. Sometimes with no obvious explanation.

My only issue with him is zero fire. Many time a game I see him let a safety or CB or DE make the tackle and he stands behind then so when they break the tackle he is there to push them down or out of bounds, it wears on the DBs big time. And when he isn't there to finish off their scraps the guys will bust a long run.
He has no drive to lay the lumber and more importantly gang tackle. If you can get there and the guy with the ball is still trying to gsinn that extra inch and a whistle had not been blown u knock him tf out and make him wanna fall on the ground next time rather then try and fight for that extra half yard. he just plays soft that's my issue with him. He has all the tools. I bet in the nfl he is allworld and makes multiple probowls somehow
