I mean Im not arguing that mostly because Gore is god awful and Deen is meh. But it's not we went and got an elite or even great DT. Both have a ceiling of good.
We were missing 2 safeties and 1 DT 2 days ago. If you are expecting Clark and/or Cook to be leaps and bounds better than Dean and Gore I'm sorry for your loss. I appreciate nuance but I think this is more hope than actual logic.
