They're keeping him on a pitch count to make sure he doesn't break down.
I think the run defense rating is a little skewed. Perry is more of a run stuffing type player. He belongs at 4-3 DE. Clay (and Julius really) are being used as pass rushers primarily. Get after the QB, move him off his spot, hit him when he throws.
It's somewhat of a bad comparison, imo.
