Tbf to Eberflus (which I really hate to do) both were a complete no-show against the run, combining for only 1 solo tackle and 1 assisted tackle. This despite Clark playing a season high 73.1% of defensive snaps in the game. He's washed imo. The Packers knew it.

Still the only defense that is more likely to allow the opponent to convert on 3rd down than not...

This........and I can't say that we have good players but they're good enough to not be dead last in the NFL. Eberflus has lost the D. And part of it is because guys like Diggs are not buying into the scheme. A good coach would pivot and do what his players do well. But sometimes coaches are so entrenched in their philosophy that they can't pivot. This D is a replay of Marinelli and Nolan and even Zimmer. It's a bend and don't break scheme that's ok.....until it breaks.

Although we all saw it happen in the 1995 season. But those were GREAT players and we don't have those. Or very many good ones either.

They also had all of Jimmy's assistants still there. Switzer was an utter clown, but he just stood around. Eventually his cancerous ways combined with dumbshit GM torpedoed the team but in 1995, there was still enough great players AND really good assistants on the staff (for the most part).
There's a reason Randy Galloway coined "ISP" for Switzer

He got the fewest snaps of any of the DE's. Even Clowney (who has been terrible and old) got more.
What's also somewhat interesting is Dante Fowler had played pretty poorly the first 3 games before having a great game v the Jets last week (by far his best game) and he hardly played either. Not sure if he got hurt during the game or what.
It could also be because they saw they couldn't stop the run and kept Houston and Fowler off the field due to that. (Panthers had 38 runs v 25 passes)
