Clarke may just be a rotational player like Gilberry is. I think the Bengals NEED to draft a pass rushing defensive end next year. Clarke and Hunt have both done well through these few games, but don't forget they're coming in with fresh legs against an offensive line that has gone against the likes on Dunlap and Atkins all game.
That may be the case. But I don't think you blow a high pick until you know. What if Clarke is everything MJ should have been? Then you used a high pick on a back up.
Really think Clarke will be a starter. Think the kid is showing to much for the coaches to ignore, even with their veteran loyalty. What's he have 3 sacks in 4 games? He at least deserves a shot to prove him self as a starter, if he keeps going at this rate.
Also think hunt might have finally caught on. Will be great keeping a pass rush if carlos is taking a breather
