In Pettine's system i think he would have to be a stand up edge rusher. With his body type.

But Gute mentioned as one of the reasons they let go of Nelson was because it's Adams time to be #1..... well it's Clark's time to be #1.
And like at WR where he was hoping the likes of Allison, Moore, MVS and St. Brown would step up.... there is Lancaster, Adams, Keke whom they hope can step up.
Plus not to mention, the Daniels, is pretty much limited to a 3 tech DT role, which is the best pass rushing role for DTs, they have moved Clark over to that spot since Daniels left... while I think it'd be best for their run defense if they got another 3 tech and moved Clark back over to the opposite 1 tech, a more run defense role, that might be seen as a demotion for your top guy who deserves a promotion...
And I don't think Clark is going anywhere, I think he's going to be at that 3 tech until another guy can step up for that important role... which really for that pass rushing role, there is only Adams and Keke from the guys that were here last year... and Adams is looking like a bust.... there is still hope for Keke whom showed some good slipperiness. Keke didn't do much as a rookie, but almost no DT does as a rookie.
