I'm sure that will come as well.
IF you're judging him poorly on these two games, then you're a SACK STAT guy, in which you're looking at an edge player and saying, " well, if he was 15 sacks for the season, that means he ought to pretty much have one every game". That rarely happens. Sacks tend to come in bunches.
By the end of the season, everybody will be in agreement that Clark is a damned fine player and we're glad to have him.

Sacks AND QB hurries AND TFLs
He has one TFL. Against the Raiders. No sacks, no hurries. Against a Jags team with a backup OT.
Frank Clark the player doesn't suck, but... oh, I don't know. I kinda expected him to make more than a couple "underrated" big plays especially against Jacksonville. Like, where he directly disrupts the play. That's kinda what I thought we were getting when Seattle gouged the **** out of us and we paid him $100 million. Especially when he was going up against dudes who weren't exactly Willie Roaf.
