He was playing contain. It's kind of obvious. Don't know why Spags called it that way, but I haven't seen a better angle of the field to comment on the call itself, but Frank was never rushing on that snap, he was just keeping his eyes on Allen. Making sure he didn't run out to his side. [Reply]

That's what Clark is supposed to be for us and he's nothing like it.
Unfortunately we are beyond if he is living up to the contract. At this point it's basically just us hoping he can be better than he was last year. [Reply]
I'm at the point where I want Danna or Dunlap to get most of his snaps. He just dances around out there and doesn't want to have any type of contact. You can't have a defensive end who fears contact. [Reply]

Frank Clark was never him and was never going to he him

He's our premier edge pass rusher who we traded high picks for and signed to a massive contract.
Uhh.. yeah, I think we should be getting a Von Milleresque presence out of him.
Not to mention the fact that Miller is 33, well past his prime. Dude isn't even playing entire games at this point. Meanwhile, Clark is in his prime, tanking a shit ton of our cap space so he can have 1 TFL and we say "wow, he actually played pretty well today!" [Reply]

In his three years prior to coming to Kansas City, he averaged 10.7 sacks per year for the Seahawks. During those same three years (2016 through 2018), Von Miller averaged 12.7. So the comparison in terms of pass rushing expectations isn't that far off. [Reply]
Von Miller is a HOF'er. If you expected Frank Clark to match that type of production, that's on you. And that's not even me defending the guy, I think he's been mostly shit since he's been here. I'm pretty sure even DJLN would agree.... [Reply]
