MJ has played a little more than twice as many snaps as Clark (782 to 346), but has almost 3 times as many tackles (43 to 15), hurries (16 to "less than 5"), and passes defended (3 to 0), and 2.5 times as many stuffs (5 to 2).
Clarke does have more sacks, but that could just be because he plays mostly on passing downs. I can't really tell.
What you fail to mention in your snap evaluation is where those snaps were lined up.
Clarke is not going to get as many tackles rushing the QB from inside when he rotates in on a passing down. I don't think I saw MJ rotate in at all this year. And let's be honest, a few of MJs "stuffs" happened recently when he was pushed totally out of the play and the opposing player re-routed and ran back in to MJ. Where does PFF have them ranked head to head?
I know you don't like PFF, but at least it would be the same measuring stick for both players.
And I don't mean to make this sound like Clarke is a HoF'r, rather, I just wanted him to get more snaps and more opportunity to make plays at RDE.
