Twitter: McCarthy: Damone Clark is ready

[zrinkill]

That is exactly what Q wants eventually.

Jerry should make Quinn the highest paid coach in the league to stay defensive coordinator ....... Even above every head coach.

 

[Doomsday101]

I always add 6 months to any prognosis Jerry provides.

Jerry does get his info from team doctors. Granted if they say 4 to 6 weeks Jerry tends to take more positive spin of 4 over 6. In the end however players are not playing until they are ready to go.

I wonder what Quinn thinks of him? I just can’t see him as better then LVE or Barr.

(in your face) ... disgrace

Hey, I made a rhyme.

 

[Risen Star]

I’m very wary of pro athletes with back problems.

Neck.

 

[Doomsday101]

Neck.

Upper vertebra, still part of the back but not weight bearing like lower back.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

How can teams ever compete against our Defense that includes Clark and Parsons?

 

[reddyuta]

I am rooting for him,even if we get a few years from him it will be a bonus.

Some Teams Project Damone Clark to First Round of 2022 NFL Draft

There has been a lot of talk in the media about the 2022 NFL Draft not being a good year for linebacker talent, and overall, that could be true. LSU, however, has produced a lot of good pro linebacker talent in recent years, and LSU senior Damone Clark could be the first linebacker selected in the 2022 NFL Draft. He is having a huge 2021 season and could follow in the recent Tigers tradition of first-round picks like Devin White and Patrick Queen. According to NFL sources, some teams are projecting Clark to be a first-round pick and think he could rise into being a high first-rounder during the leadup to the 2022 NFL Draft.

"He's long, fast, athletic, and that doesn't last long in the draft," said an NFC director of player personnel. "He's similar to Micah Parsons movement wise, but Parsons had a little more freakish juice and was more explosive, but not by a ton. Clark has better instincts than Parsons and the production reflects that. I think Clark will rise into a mid- to high first."

Entering the final two weeks of the regular season, Clark is tied with Northwestern's Chris Bergin for leading the nation in tackles with 118. Clark also has three sacks, one interception and two passes defended. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Clark has excellent size to play inside or outside linebacker in the NFL.

This right here gets me excited. I will say that herniated disks are nearly impossible to ever truly recover from if they are severe enough to require surgery, but if he can be 75% of the player he was he will be an upgrade.

We need to keep doubling down on defense in the draft and build upon our strength.

It would be great if Clark can play this year. If fully healthy, I think he would be an upgrade over LVE.

 

[Creeper]

There is no doubt in my mind Clark is the starting MLB next year. Depending on his health he could overtake LVE this year. I think next year Barr will be gone and so will LVE. Clarke and Cox will take their places.

 

[G2]

Now all we need is to get Jaylon Smith back. Doomsday!

It's refreshing having the coach talk about the players

 

[Kingofholland]

Clark was viewed as one of the top LB heading into the Combine when they found the herniated disk which of course dropped his draft status. When healthy he could be a big help to an already top defense

No doubt there's a ton of talent and it sounds like he's a hard worker too. I still expect this to be a red shirt season, but I think next year there will be a big opportunity with Barr and LVE free agents.

 

[Bullflop]

Damone is capable of playing all 3 LB positions and is a good blitzer. Runs in the 4.5 range, as well. Very handy fella to have!

You just know Micah is starting to sweat.

In your inner Risen voice

(in your face)

Ready for what exactly? He really didn't say. What is he doing every day and on weekends? Film, stretching, weight room, cardio? No talk of him actually doing football things.

I'd love it if he is able to see the field this year, but it just seems too soon to me

 

[john van brocklin]

Not getting my hopes up yet.

Agreed, but you gotta admire this young man.
There on the weekends ?
He was getting a paycheck either way.
Gotta admire the character and work effort.
I sure hope he has success.
I am a fan.

 

[john van brocklin]

You just know Micah is starting to sweat.

Sweating that he might be getting some help !
I am sure he is getting worn out having to cover so much on defense!!!!!!!!!!!
