That 2nd half was gonna be his first real shot to rush the passer a little bit... never really came together with the injury obviously.

Because I can probably find you 3-5 plays where he was completely abused in that short sample size.
And we traded for a broke dick.
I'm really supposed to say "oh, well he did nothing then got hurt so I guess I cant judge him..."?
He had enough time to pop and he didn't. Its that eye test stuff that got mocked last week - its OBVIOUS when a guy is playing well, even before they make a splash play. Thornhill was a great example of that today - he flew across the formation on the opening kick and wrecked that return. Then he was coming downhill on run plays. Even before the 4th down stop and pick 6 he was playing well and you could see it all over the field.
Clark was just there. Again. I'm not giving him an INC because it wouldn't have made a difference. We've seem a half dozen games like this from him by now, why should I just assume he was going to show anything when he hadn't to that point?
