Chiefs Frank Clark no longer ****ing sucks - Page 4

TwistedChief · 07-30-2022, 09:30 PM

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 ****ing Clark.

I like how he acknowledged his sub par performance last year. I also like how Andy and he had a talk that was real, no BS, and he brought it up. If nothing else, he sounded genuine. You can just look at him and see that he's made some changes, so it's not all just talk. Also I like how he's excited about Karlaftis and had some genuine comments and even an example of how George is working and learning. The usual training camp podium bullshit of "Oh, George is working hard, he's coming along, blah blah blah" is what you normally get. The story he told was real.

I like it. Back it up on the field Frank. This could be an amazing year for this defense.

Molitoth · 07-31-2022, 08:29 AM

I was impressed by his press conf.

Rooting for him!

The timing of when they signed Dunlap wasn’t a glowing appraisal of Clark, though…especially knowing that Dunlap can’t report till Wednesday.

Nowadays you need at least 3 good DE's to rotate so I don't get nervous about signing CD. That gets you to 3, with hopes that younger guys develop and push them for more playing time during this season and replace somebody next year.

Nothing like waiting until the season you were almost cut to start trying. We should all applaud that.

MahomesMagic · 07-31-2022, 08:50 AM

I already wrote him off as washed last year so if he's even somewhat useful I would be happy.

Redbled · 07-31-2022, 08:55 AM

If he gets 12 sacks he will want big money again. At least we may get a nice comp pick.

**alpha_omega** · 07-31-2022, 08:57 AM

This is certainly an unforeseen turn of events.
Hope to see this thread getting bumped on game days.

Andy Reid : "Frank, I was perusing teh innerwebs last night between cheeseburgers, and I came across a thread on a website called "chiefsplanet.com" - ever heard of it?"

Frank : "**** Nah, Coach. I be drinking and watching pornhub DP videos and jacking it to the trophy got yo' daddy name on it, ya gnomesaine?"

Andy : "Yeah, well, be that as it may, there are a couple of geniuses who post on there, rabblerouser and Twisted Chief, then there's a smattering of people who are actually cool spread out amongst a cesspool of reeran mother****ers, but that doesn't matter. You know what matters, Frank?"

Frank : "Whaddat, Big Red?"

Andy : "They say you're overpriced, but that you suck at ANY price. That any JAG can do what you do for a fraction of the cost. You know why they say that, Frank?"

Frank : "ForRealForReal, it's prolly since I ain't done shit but get arrested, drink and jack off since the Super Bowl, Coach."

Andy : "Probably. Any solutions jump into that noggin of yours up there, buddy?"

Frank : "Prolly sober up and do more than stand around with my hands on my dick be a good start."

Andy : "I think we are getting somewhere..."

teams are going to run right at him

I am pulling hard for him to get 12 sacks not just for the season we may have because of it, but also to up his trade value next season if he's able to pull it off.

Wallcrawler · 07-31-2022, 09:19 AM

I was amused at his "I fly off the ball" statement.

Its good that Andy called him out on a mailed in season, and better still, he acknowledged and accepted that it was trash. Lot of players would never make that public, let alone admit that they failed.

Its a great mindset to have, and generally if the player is in the right headspace, the on field results are better than when their head isnt in the game.

As said, look no further than Tyran Mathieu for what not having your mind right can do to a really good player.

Itll be interesting to see what a revamped Frank Clark can do. He certainly couldnt be any worse than last season.

Isn't this weight (~250) what he played at while in Seattle? I'm not worried about him setting the edge on the run -- that's more technique than anything. But if he's a step quicker on his rush at this lower weight it will tell quickly.

And as Terez used to say: "The contract year is undefeated." I foresee a big year for Frank.

**Easy 6** · 07-31-2022, 09:52 AM

Cautiously optimistic, we shall see...

It'd sure be nice if the light came on for Kaindoh just in case, tho

IowaHawkeyeChief · 07-31-2022, 10:06 AM

Frank has always been a decent edge setter, but his quickness has waned substantially since his first year with us. I like the "in shape" attitude and even the new hair cut and attitude. Proof is in the pudding, but it appears he is genuinely tying to get better.
