You see him try to do that speed rush and instead of blowing by the tackle he just gets pushed out of the play and when he tries a bull rush he gets absolutely no where and gets engulfed by the tackle. Hopefully he is injured, because if he's not and this is just the player that he is, then holy shit. That's about as bad of a trade you can make.
This is my fear. He juiced up last year in a contract year - willing to take the risk for a big payday. But if he does it now and gets caught - that's 4 game checks or w/e. Not worth it.
Maybe we can start a gofundme for Clark to cover any lost game checks due to PED violation. [Reply]

He's hurt. This is the root cause of this shit.
Then he can get off the ****ing field, heal up, and come back when he has something to contribute.
Nobody is going to care about his tender hamstring if he finishes with 5 sacks and 30 tackles. They'll just want him to go away.
All I'm seeing is the obvious reason Seattle was willing to trade away a 'dominant' player while trying to compete (which is different than Oakland, who were tanking for as many high picks as they could land)
I'm patient, but the guy has 1 sack and even that was hard to watch since Lamar just gave him a piggy back ride. [Reply]
