The black DJ Welter


He is quite literally the opposite of Welter, although the results are the same. DJ knew what he was supposed to do, but did not have the physical talent to actually do it, Damone has no clue what to do, but is a physical specimen.

Both are super frustrating to watch and at least Damone could possibly be coached up to get better. I fear that this "braintrust" cannot do that.

All true except for the last bit. Blake Baker is a legit LB coach and we’ve seen no improvement at all. Clark just doesn’t have the instincts to play LB in a 4-3. He was playing a completely different 3-4 OLB role when he looked competent under Aranda. He doesn’t fit anywhere in this defense and it’s clear that he can’t adjust to this scheme like some other guys have.

Coaching may still be a huge issue, but it’s not the problem with Clark. He just needs to be benched in favor of guys who can at least execute the basics and have some instincts for the role of a 4-3 MLB.

I'm not saying he wasn't lost a few times, but his biggest issue is he absolutely fricking sucks at getting off of blocks. I've never seen such a big, strong, fast athlete that is completely neutralized the second someone puts one hand on him.

I watched the replay just to watch him and it is mind blowing.
