There is a big difference:
The secondary teammates of Clark the prior two seasons were really weak. A terrible CB Wilson (2 years ago), a struggling Amerson, a terrible E.J Biggers, a rookie Breeland, injury prone Merriweather and a good D. Hall. Once Hall was injured the wheels fell off the secondary and defense last season.
We now have a capable set of CB's in Culliver, Breeland, D. Hall and Amerson (still struggling) off the bench. Plus a new SS in Jeron Johnson. This makes Goldson's life a lot easier compared to Clark's.
Add that Culliver and Goldson have played together before. Plus from what Jeron Johnson's former teammates and coaching staff are saying about Jeron, he will be an improvement over what we had.
We went from a terrible secondary to one that is improved and we still have the draft and #5 pick coming up soon.
