Not really, we just stunted any development we would see out of Clarke and Hunt and will go in to another season without knowing what they can do...

I don't care for this signing one bit.

Hunt has also been in on about 65% of the ST snaps though and has accounted for 2 blocked kicks.
A 29 year old second-round pick that is in a contract year should be contributing much more on defense by now.

Meanwhile, a 25 year old third round pick still with one year left on his rookie contract after this year has outproduced Hunt on much fewer snaps.
Will Clarke has played in over 50 fewer defensive snaps (158 defensive snaps), has 3 sacks, and has overall looked better on defense.

Clarke deserves more playing time, but Hunt doesn't. Hopefully the team moves on from Hunt in the offseason.

Not to mention a young guy who flashed named Deshawn Williams is on the team inactive every game and could do exaxtly what they are bringing Gilberry in to do. But playing young guys is illegal in the NFL and Marvin knows better. The veteran preferance has won him so many post season games its not funny. No point in changing when you have so much success.

Starting to wonder if they are taking pointers from the Reds front office on how to run a team.

This is a winner!!!

Hunt has had numerous QB hurries and looks to be turning the corner.

Clarke has looked decent this year too. This was a bad move IMHO.

And we lose CLH to the Ravens.

Bad all the way around.

Gilberry in a similar role last season had 18 hurries and was 46th overall and would have been 7th overall amongst Dts which is his real position by the way. Losing CLH is on the coaches by the way they should d have cut brown instead.

From what Ochocincos said sounds like Clarke has been playing well though and i don't think Gilberry will help us much.
