Most disappointing Packers heading into bye week: Kenny Clark

It’s hard not to connect the dots between Barry’s arrival as the defensive coordinator and the downfall of Green Bay’s best two defenders. Clark, like Alexander, hasn’t played up to his standard of play over the past two seasons.

When he’s at his best, he’s a disruptive force in the middle of the defensive line. He can use his strength and speed combination to beat any offensive lineman and get upfield in a hurry.

Unfortunately, we haven’t seen that consistently from him this season. PFF has him as their 52nd-ranked defensive lineman out of 124 total. He’s been particularly non-existent in the running game despite a couple of great stops last week.
