people complaining about 3 FGs and players on our D is crazy...

Even Chris Jones has lapses in his game, particularly against the run.

He's on pace for 6 sacks man. Six. C'mon man.

I'd rather pay $100 to a guy that can do both. So you wouldn't complain if the chiefs had re-signed Sammy Watkins to a top 3 WR contract cause he balls out in the playoffs?

I get that. But so are quite a few other guys.

Sacks usually come in bunches. One game with 2 or 3 and he's on pace for 11-13, which we both know he probably won't reach this season.

Sacks are streaky. It's about pressure rate. His pressure rate is down this year and that's concerning. It's not the end of the world, however.

Clark doesn't seem to have any kind of outside swim move. He has a bull rush and a spin. But the outside move always takes him so far out of the play - linemen don't fear it.

Seems like even in the playoffs last year almost all his sacks were hustle sacks where nobody was open and the QB started running around. I can't think of very many times he just flat out beat the tackle and got a quick sack.

Frank Clark is making elite HOF talent money though.

Yeah if he shows up for the playoffs again, yeah no problem. But you shouldn't have to wait to see a guy you traded a first round and 2nd round pick for and gave $100 million to. A guy like that is expected to be on more than off throughout the whole season. Yet as of now he has 3 sacks, one of them being the stupidest sack taken by a qb this season.

Sammy has to go after this year, especially with Pat starting to make real money.

We also have a DE problem on the opposite side of Clark. Okafor is always hurt, Taco is okay but has been hurt and Danna has been hurt. Pretty easy to have the OL slide protection against these guys, roll out to the right or just have an extra blocker to double both of our guys.

"I love that we're winning Super Bowls but damn some of our most expensive players need to do better in the regular season!"

Yeah, after a lifetime of the exact opposite, I'll take that problem.

Yeah I agree. I just don't see him flat out beating a tackle at all. I don't see him making any moves or do anything that disrupts the offense. He usually just runs upfield and the tackle is more than happy to let him run himself out of a play. It would really be interesting to see all his sacks and see how many of them are coverage sacks...

Frank Clark has a total of one game in his time in KC with more than a single sack (regular season), so I'm not exactly expecting sacks to come in bunches for him. Plus, the sacks he does get usually seem to be of the coverage variety, not so much him dominating the OT.

Yes, Clark had an amazing postseason. That means little in 2020 and going forward. He has the biggest contract on the team until 2022 when Mahomes finally surpasses him. He's being paid like a top 3-5 DE, but I don't even think he's even top 10.

DE needs to be a priority in the draft over the next year or two, because we're probably going to need the $21 million cap savings from cutting Clark in 2023. Hopefully we have more success this time around than we have lately with Kpass and Speaks in the draft.

It's not a mutually exclusive thing but yeah thanks for playing. A player can be great in both the playoffs and in the regular season. That's kind of the expectation for "great" players.

Frank Clark ****ing sucks
 

He had a better game than Chris Jones.

Wharton put them both to shame.

There are plays that go away from him that he only gives a good effort for about 3 seconds. I have no issues with that, because he makes plays when it counts.

It's the same with Clark. As long as he doesn't blatantly cost us a game, I don't care what he does until the playoffs.

Seriously, where did Wharton come from? Dude is an animal
