I didn't realize this until I read a Packersnews summary, but this is two straight games and Clay doesn't have a tackle. I get tackles don't necessarily indicate everything about performance, but at a time when this team needs their top leaders and playmakers to step up, a goose egg in tackles isn't really helping.

Clay's never really been a "vocal leader" kind of guy, but usually he's one that will step up in a situation and make a play.

Clay's last tackle came early in 4th quarter against the Cowboys. That's just crazy. No tackles vs Raiders. No tackles vs Cardinals. No tackles in 133 minutes of football for a guy earning almost $13 million this season.

I can't recall the series but at times he was blowing up the left tackle on consecutive pass plays, so much so that he flushed Carson out and back tracked and caused an errant throw near the end zone.

He still CAN make an impact, tackles don't necessarily define performance, but clearly no appearance on a stat sheet for 1/8th of the season is concerning

If he was playing 100% on the outside, the lack of tackles wouldn't concern me nearly as much. However, playing inside linebacker and zero tackles back to back games is somewhat alarming. I remember many people discrediting A.J. Hawk and Nick Barnett tackle totals on the fact that the position they played (ILB and MLB) puts them directly in favor of acquiring large tackle numbers.

I didn't keep track of snaps. But he was edge rushing far more last night than he had been most of the season. I think Ryan is getting more and more snaps inside lately. Ryan snap count has gotten significant since the Lions game.

Ryan got totally burned yesterday in pass protection. Some year we will fix that problem. Not sure if there are many ILBs next year, but I sure hope we draft somebody talented at that position one of these years.

Yesterday was a major let down from both sides of the ball. I'm not as much as worried with the defense as much as I'm worried from the offense. We've got no play makers on offense.

Our defense is solid but isn't one that will simply dominate you. As a result, they can't hold up a whole 60 minutes if the offense isn't doing anything. It seems petty to me to complain about the defense or special teams - If we had a consistent, top 15 offense we'd be in solid shape.

If you punt from your 20 yard line or worse - you are not only sending the D right back out with little rest, but often a short field to defend. One phase of the game playing well can aid the other 2, but you aren't going to win championships without all 3 doing their jobs.
