Twitter: Damone Clark Update

Random, but if they let him stay on the NFI list this year he'll be a RFA by the end of his contract and not an UFA

Same thing with Jaylon Smith.

Good news. Probably should still just red shirt him for the year.

I agree on the redshirt but amazing news
Let him watch and develop physically for next year

Interesting observation
Big difference in getting that year back relatively cheap

Week 3 was not very productive for the LBs stat wise.
Only Parsons with 1 tackle and LVE with 3 assists recorded stats, Barr registered a zero.
IF QB pressures were a recorded stat, we would be leading the league in that category.

Team …....... Barr …......... LVE
TAM …......... 56% …......... 85%
CIN ….......... 87% …......... 90%
NYG …......... 61% …......... 83%

I thought that with Kearse out that Jabril Cox might get some playing time.
- Kearse plays a coverage LB role on about 40% or more of snaps (The 3 Safety sets).
- That seems like a role ideally suited for Jabril Cox.
- Instead they played Parsons more at off-ball LB than they had in the 1st two games.
- i.e. Parsons, LVE and Barr all at LB on some snaps.

For the good Dan Quinn has done with this Defense, he certainly has made some very dumb mistakes that have hurt this D as well. It's like he's stubbornly picking veterans over the younger/quicker/faster/more aggressive players.

Has LVE been that bad this year? I haven’t noticed everyone else playing so well.

Hes just limited with his speed and he isnt aggressive enough stepping up into the hole. Kinda waits around a little bit for the play to come to him like Jaylo Smith did.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I would rather keep LVE than ******* Anthony Barr who has missed tackles and caused personal fouls that have hurt the team on the field and on the scoreboard.

Id rather have Clark turn into a stud for us.

 

[Screw The Hall]

Who knows how this is going to work out health wise, but his upside is through the roof.

 

[Toro9]

Good stuff. Thanks

Examples please

They will need clark next year.

 

[Bullflop]

Damone Clark was highly regarded, in no small measure, before his injury.

We'll see how he does upon his recovery. Let's hope his recovery is 100%.

Would like him this season, but I am greedy that way.
6'3" 245lb and 4.57 speed, another weapon for Q.

Indeed, Clark was right there in top 3 LBs being looked at pre/during combine.

Id rather make sure he's healed. Next year him and cox shoyluld be able to step in and help this defense.

 

[AKATheRake]

This is actually the guy that Im looking forward to seeing. We actually need him in a bad way to replace the hapless LVE.

Next year. Have Bohanna upfront 75 % and put Kearse when he is ready there. Wilson stays where he is.

Examples please

For example...

Anthony Barr has missed several tackles (especially against the Giants where he hesitated from the edge shooting inside and missed wide openly RB Saquon Barkley on a draw up the middle who ran past Barr's missed tackle and took it 30+ yards for a TD) and made several dumb fouls (like the late hit on the QB sliding Joe Burrow).

Jabril Cox would definitely had used his speed and quickness to stop Barkley in the backfield or held him to a small gain, and Cox certainly would not be committing dumb mental personal fouls. Plus, Jabril Cox is quicker, faster and more agile than 33 year old and worn down Anthony Barr is at this stage of his career.

Why is Dan Quinn stubbornly favoring old and beat up veterans over our young and more faster/quicker younger players?

LVE was not the same after his own "minor" neck surgery.



Spinal fusion is far from minor.

Hoping for only the best for this young man.

 

[Cebrin]

Honestly forgot we grabbed him ha! Holy cow if he's 80% of what he was in college that young man will make this defense even scarier.

 

[beware_d-ware]

We'll see how much gas he has left in the tank post-surgery. It's not an easy injury to bounce back from.

I was a huge Clark fangirl and though he was well worth buying a 5th round lottery ticket, but I am counting on nothing from him.
