And make no mistake - without his efforts yesterday, we lose that football game. Clark was the team MVP on Monday night and that's commendable. And it's undeniably a step in the right direction.
Now we work on consistency and the ability to produce at a credible (if unspectacular) level against quality NFL tackles.
The Raiders game is a HUGE litmus test. He'll have a week to get healthy and it will be the most critical game the Chiefs have played this season. The Raiders, weirdly, have given Carr excellent protection this season. Carr has taken the fewest hits of any QB in the league and has been sacked the second fewest times.
Lets see if our boy can make a difference. The argument has been that Clark was acquired for his impact in the playoffs - well this game should be damn near playoff importance. And it's a matchup that is not statistically in his favor. Let's see if he can go out there and kick the ass we were told he could kick.
Why's that weird? They've got some really good individual talent on that line. [Reply]

The 3rd and 2 we all hated last week, well, if you look back, if Reiter isn't out there thumbing his asshole and blocks who he's supposed to, it's a 12 yard gain and the game is over.
They've gotta invest some early picks up there. Shit, take a 1st rounder and a 3rd, i don't care.
Martinas Rankin looked like an above average starter at LG. He was holding his own and his movement was fantastic. Dude was great on screens.
I like him a lot and hope we keep Wiz. Even with Allegretti as an option, I’d like to draft a C early. [Reply]

At one point late in the game we sent Sammy in one of those back-again motions that we typically use for Tyreek and as soon as the ball was snapped he just fucking put in absolutely zero effort lol the lack of give a shit was truly astounding. [Reply]

He knows he’s in a contract year and he isn’t getting the stats. Dude can get fucked after this season. [Reply]

Stuff like this (and the shit talking in general) is why I like Clark so much. He’s just a badass in many ways, has been his whole career. It’s a change of pace from what we saw in Houston/Ford.
Now healthier (Clark mentioned this again in his post game interview), I expect the mind games to continue to uptick. [Reply]
Could we change the thread title to "Clark playing much better" or something like that.
I think its disrespectful to leave the current title.:-)
Sure! How about "Frank Clark is knocking the PISS out of those special needs linemen"!(?)

No sense? Your sense of history is about as strong as Reid's mojo at a "let's not kick ourselves in the ass when it really matters"-tupperware party. Tom Cable briefly lifted that team out of the shitter and instilled something resembling toughness and balls before old dipshit Al blew it all up again at the end of that season. :-)
Fucking Incognito. We had a chance to kick the tires on him at a time we could have used his services, and Chiefs Fan UNIVERSALLY shit all over that notion. Thanks Gooddell and your shitty, PC football! [Reply]
“As soon as Brett Veach got into the locker room last night he went over to Frank Clark & Clark said, ‘I told you what I could do when I’m healthy.’ That’s a conversation without the media that’s pretty illuminating of how he’s feeling.” - @SamMcDowell11https://t.co/g1O9Wo4Gsl
I get folks being mad but if he really did have a bad nerve issue that affected feeling in his hands, it sounds like that would be a reason for his struggles early. [Reply]
