Nothing that includes Clark is promising. The guy can't process fast enough.
He is a 5th round pick. I wouldn’t depend on Clark or Overshown. I just think our linebackers would look better if we protected them with big defensive linemen. Not a bunch of speed pass rushers.

The problem is that we have drafted 3 DL lineman in the first 2 rounds since 2017 and they been bust. Taco Charlton, Tristan Hill, Mazi Smith

Do not draft Michigan defensive linemen. They are a curse for us. Taco Charlton was selected over TJ Watt. In 1985, Landry's selection of super duper bust Michigan Kevin Brooks sealed his fate.

Free agency. We have to pay to play like the Ravens, 49ers, Dolphins, Eagles, etc. No more excuses. We have money and can create cap space.

We need to extend Dak like he's carrying the team.

Dak contract has nothing to do with it. Stop listening to Stephen Jones. Buffalo, KC, Ravens, and Eagles pay their quarterbacks top dollar. They still make moves in free agency.

This is what happens when the roster isn't properly managed. Let's be honest, there was PLENTY of time to address LBers.

Clark becoming a regular on the "pancake" session of ESPN's Get Up.......too much to my liking.

I have not been a D Clark fan this season, but that guy had a hecuva game yesterday.

But he's certainly undersized as well as a LB. Don't know how the Cowboys are living with Bell and Clark at "LB". We still need a healthy Hankins to have a good chance at stopping the run, and the offense definitely needs to perform well early, and get a lead. This defense plays differently with a lead.
