Clark's lack of self control, and lack of respect for his teammates is problematic.
All other teams will be trying to goad Clark into doing something stupid knowing he has a short fuse which could get him tossed and maybe cost us a game if it comes at a bad time.
-- Pete, the day before the fracas.“Our players are trying to draw the best they can out of the guy across from them. They know, in practice, they have to bring their best. Each guy is practicing at his best, and in turn, he’s drawing the best out of the guy across from him. They all know that. We encourage the challenge mentality—getting the best out of each other. However, we also talk at great length about the responsibility that they have to be poised so they don’t go too far, and that they don’t disrespect anyone. If it goes beyond too far, then we’re all over it. But we’re going to that edge, all the time.”

The players have to understand the bigger picture that it's not just about them as individuals but the coaches also have to keep the tone down when things begin to escalate.

Am I wrong? Enlighten me if I am.
As for his pre draft incident with the woman once I heard he had forcibly removed a woman from his immediate vicinity because she was biting him on the nose I saw it differently than say a Greg Hardy beating a woman senseless and then throwing her on a bed full of assault rifles.It isn't Joe Mixon with a history of beating women or Josh Brown who is a flipping kicker.
I dont think its really relevant to what happened in practice either way.Vontage Burfect went after a teammate's knees the other day...
And if in fact Ifedi is always chipping on guys after the whistle maybe there are some defensive players who are kind of happy someone put a stop to it. I haven't heard much condemnation from teammates.

Bad news for getting any early O-Line continuity, and even D-Line continuity with McCrash out.
