Such a weird sample size, at times I can’t tell if the defense sucking makes Damone look bad or average or if he’s really just hit and miss. Dude was 1 million times better in the 3-4.

Linebackers have improved, a lot.

They aren't where they should be, but they had a hell of a long way to get there.

In all honesty, he was more qualified to take over the DC job than Jones was.

I could see Baker being retained honestly.

I am all for Clark getting AA status but how many of these tackles were from behind, five yards past the LOS.

He was demoted by Manny Diaz....yes, Manny Diaz thought his long time protege wasn't a good play caller, so O went out and hired him.

Coaches do whatever they need to do to save their asses. shite rolls downhill.

There have been many sacrificial lambs in the coaching ranks.

your assumption is that he isn't cleaning up other players tackles when downfield?

I see him do that, but mainly he ends up cleaning up another player’s mistake. Also, he had 8 solo tackles out of his 18 total, 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss, and 1 forced fumble.
If there’s any thing he could clean up in his game, it’s getting off blocks better and filling holes.
I don’t know if he’s not strong enough, doesn’t use his hands properly, is too hesitant, or what. But big runs up the middle (to me, that’s 5 yards or more) are usually due to miscues like these for both linebackers.

Has he met a runner in the hole all year? Seems easier to him if just tackles them from behind after 10 yards.

It's not his fault that he's not talented, he just isn't. It Os fault for his terrible evaluations at LB leaving us no other choices.

Ppl keep parroting this even though he had multiple TFLs. At least watch the games if you wanna bash players.
