Twitter: Micah admits Damone Clark is faster than him

Williams, Clark Micah Parsons. All three are absolutely dangerous defensive players. This have to be a nightmare for offensive coordinators for other teams. I can’t believe we have all three of those players

The question is will those three be able to hold up to RPO offenses in the playoffs. If they can we will be going to the Super Bowl.

Can they play WR?

 

[glimmerman]

Parsons is smart and can play at 20+ MPH. Can Clark.

Don't think I've ever seen a Dallas player so hyped up that has never played a snap in the NFL.

Even that Jaylon Smith redshirt year wasn't this bad.

Darius Jackson. Rico Gathers.

Doomsday.

Parsons is smart and can play at 20+ MPH. Can Clark.

That part! Speed is great and all but how's his instincts? How's his tackling? Can he take on blocks? Can he read offenses fast enough to react? Those are just, if not more, important questions for him as a LB. If he can do all of those well, we have a helluva player. I guess we'll see.

Let him run a reverse off a kick or punt return then.

He passed me on the shoulder of a highway once.

In only 14 defensive snaps Williams accumulated two sacks, two tackles for a loss, forced a fumble and recovered it. In his last 29 pass rushes Williams has recorded four QB hits, three hurries, and two sacks. His best play came when he was just making a routine tackle and turned it into a WWE style wrestling

That wasn't no forced fumble and recovery.. That was a "gimme dat damn ball." He just took it away from Goff. I used to teach my kids that when I coached Pop Warner.. If some lil wimp has the ball and you know you are stronger and faster just go take it from him. To see it being done by one grown man to another is just hilarious.

Clark could be playing as soon as this Sunday vs Chicago and giving fields fits all game.

He's faster than 20.5 mph.....why would you be shocked?

Because both Zeke and Pollard hit speeds faster than that on runs last season. Which would make them 4.3 guys too. But people are being stupid again. Obviously they are talking about top speed not sustained speed. Nobody's holding at 21 mph for very long especially in pads. Football players train themselves to be able to accelerate very quickly to top speed but in games and probably practice it's almost always from a moving start anyway.. Running a 40 from a standstill measures something different but good luck getting people to understand that.

Being "footbal quick" vs speed, two entirely different things.

I agree he has no tape that indicates he can process as Micah does, maybe he will learn or improve. At this point keep your anointed oil stored and fingers crossed.

He’s not near as athletic as Micah but watch his college tape, he plays with great instincts
Micah is as fast as most of the CB in the nfl
He is a freakish athlete and a great football player

 

[conner01]

Lee was fairly slow but he knew where to go he had radar

His brain in an athlete like Micah would be almost illegal lol

 

[Reid1boys]

One thing That wouldn't shock me in the least is that Clark is a heck of a lot faster than LVE.

Just maybe we should put him in and see what happens.

We may be pleasantly surprised

I'm pretty sure we handed this defensive guru that everyone on the forum had already anointed as the man. Im pretty sure ill defer to his opinion and knowledge of the players and the game to decide if lve or the rookie is better right now.

I agree he has a place but the comparisons to Micah are not founded. If he can help LVE we are playing with the house's money.

I don't see Micah as being very far below, if at all in the instinct and football intelligence metric.

 

[john van brocklin]

If he's faster than Parsons that's just plain scary!!!!

Hollywood Henderson. I’ll never forget that one. Poor Terry Bradshaw
