Ok, guys. Frank has stopped drinking and is serious about this season. I can’t stop drinking for more than 8hrs at a time so Clark’s abstinence is notable and impressive. He and Andy had a heart to heart, shared some cheeseburgers (Frank is probably now also vegan and went Impossible Burger), chugged some Mr. Pibb, and came to an understanding.
Watch his presser from today. It’s probably one of the most real and honest things I’ve seen from a player. If you’re rooting against Frank Clark after that you’re probably either repressing some demons in your life or are related to Red Dawg.
This is a safe space to celebrate Frank Clark this season. 8 sack minimum. Let’s build this guy up rather than choosing to spend the season breaking him down.
Join me on the Shark bandwagon. There’s blood in the water.
And the obligatory: keep doubting Frank fucking Clark. [Reply]

Karlaftis, Uzomah, Danna.......
Omenihu is a DL the way they have talked. He is going to be a DE that will be used a lot on the inside on rushing downs and in situations.
BJ Thompson is a developmental if he makes the roster he is like a PS call up situation.
Not sure if Kaindoh and Herring are more than PS depth, break glass in emergency types.
DT is Jones, Nnadi, Wharton, Coburn....
Do Wise, Cowart, Hoskins even make the PS?
Maybe there is room for one more DE in that kind of scenario.

Omenihu is going to be a starting end...either way like I could easily replace Nnadi cause he blows. Those 5 ends not so much cause I don't think they wanna just cut BJ Thompson. [Reply]

The story is that Cullen specifically interviewed Thompson and went through his tape. And it was Cullen that 'pounded the table' to get him. I wouldn't be surprised if Thompson was probably closer to a 6th rounder on their board but Cullen had some sway to get him drafted sooner.
I think we're gonna see Thompson play meaningful snaps this year. The consensus belief that he's gonna get redshirted doesn't fly for me.
I simply don't see room on the roster for another DE because Thompson's gonna be active a gameday by October, IMO. [Reply]

That's what I think too, a guy coming off the edge with his measurables gives them something they haven't had.
The only spot where I think there is a possibility of a moves is DT..Shelby Harris come on down. [Reply]

He actually has a role here.
Yannick Ngakuoe brings a complementary skillset that currently only the rookies do. I know you'd be on board with adding an experienced outside speed rusher... [Reply]
