We simply do not have players on defense. Where was Kerrigan and Murphy? What about the prized free agent Hatcher? Where was the game saving sack when we needed it? Clark should not be on an NFL field at this point. Bowen also gets blown 5 yards off the ball. So many players on this defense are just average or below average.

Hatcher always seems to be coming out of the game and I dont understand why. I bet he played less than 75% of the snaps.

I don't know that I want 1 defensive lineman playing more than 75% of the snaps. Even the most well-conditioned d-linemen need breathers. If a player is tired, I'd rather he remove himself from the game, we know what happens when tired players stay on the field, especially on defense.

While he doesn't need to play every down I do think he should be able to handle playing 3 out of 4 plays. When he's not in it makes a big difference.
