No he wasn't. He was a huge downgrade to Jonathan Joseph. The defense improved for a lot of reasons, but he wasn't one of them. You can't possibly believe that one of the reasons the defense got better was by replacing Joseph with Clements.
In fact he was so bad that they actually tried to move him to SS in year 2, only to lose that job to Chris Crocker, and he only ended up starting 9 games. He was out of the league the very next season, never to be seen again.
