Either way, our defensive line sucked all year, shy of Clark. And I could’ve told you that was going to happen before the season even started. That, combined with poor ILB play, is why our run defense sucked.

They really do need to upgrade CB and DT next to Alexander and Clark, but can only fill so many needs at one time.
