Thegoatee 1,780 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I don’t know how many tackles he could have realistically registered when it seemed Baltimore just ran straight up the middle and gashed the DTs and MLB. We’ve essentially played three power running teams in a row. Detroit will probably be a little different, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many holes on this defense so one really good player is not that much better. Plus Clark had that great defense around him. As a free agent maybe you give him that contract. Including picks made it a huge overpay. I'm not a fan of giving up the picks either, but there is still a lot of season left to play. It's an overpay no matter what IMO, but that's what teams have to do sometimes. I think it's too early to see if it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is we overpaid for a premium position, not like the Jets did at MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go making snap judgements on these guys just yet. I agree with this absolutely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had 17 plus point leads in each as well and the Jags/Ravens games both just sort of disintegrated into sloppy endings because of it. Hard to take much away yet.

The eight running plays at the beginning of the third quarter was disturbing. Aside from that sequence, the defense did what it needed to do. Two of LJs desperation passes were lucky shots that might have been defended better, but I don't see them as a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dude flat out SUCKS. Hitchens needs to be over there with Ragland sitting on the bench... I actually agree with this. He’s been benched for Ben on 3rd down.

Calichief 3,016 Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 This wasn’t meant to be a frank clark thread or a freak out thread. bill was defending the defense. New guys. New system. No padded practice etc but people were over defending Clark with the “double teams and chips” In the end, frank clark with make a season defining play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct, but clock consuming drives only make sense if the Ravens assumed the Chiefs wouldn't score any more. That's a pretty wild assumption.

No practice with pads a bunch of new guys in the system offensive league the defense will get much better as the year goes on and... he’s broke down all the games and watched lots of tape.. Frank Clark is NOT getting doubled teamed. He’s not winning one on one. but, don’t worry, what he does in the playoffs is what matters Reid said that he noticed defensive end Frank Clark getting “a lot of attention” upon rewatching the game. “He got a lot of attention [Sunday],” Reid said. “They doubled him [Sunday]. That’s what I look at. Both he and Chris Jones were trying to work through those guys. Are you going to keep battling or concede to that? Somewhere you’re going to have a single [offensive lineman], what are you going to do with it? You saw what he did.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
