Yeah. I was expecting more from him. Hope it happens. He's pretty expensive. Maybe it will happen when the "chips" are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamaroyal 87 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 So far Clark has just been a guy... Not good, not bad, just there... Same for the Honey Badger... But, the team is 4-0 and I expect the D will get a little better as the season progresses... I hope they are peaking in Jan/Feb! azchief21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was quite a blitz by Mathieu yesterday. I know Spagnuolo dialed it up, but wow, was he fast! Even discounting that, he is really strengthening the secondary and covering lot of ground. I want to see Thornhill do more. I know he is a rookie and is constantly trying to make sure he is where he is supposed to be on each play. He needs to spend a season doing that. But at the same time, Spags has got to occasionally give him the green light to do what he does so well...jump routes and get some interceptions. If he gets a few of those on film, opponents' QB's will start avoiding his area more. That would really shore up some things. If Claiborne proves to be better at tracking passes and contesting catches than Charvarius Ward, that would be a huge boost to the D also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I was one of those happy to see the Chiefs get Clark but thought they way overpaid. Sill feel the same, but that's in the past and there's reason to believe he will be productive as the season moves along. We heard a lot before the season that it would take time for the defense to jell and that's exactly what's happened. The fire and intensity that Clark brought is worth something to players like Kpass and Ogbah. The really great fact is that the Chiefs are 4-0 during this learning process so it hasn't cost them so far. One quarter of the season gone and they're right where we hoped and expected them to be.

I like it. Hope you are correct. Berry & Houston did not lack fire either and the D was? Hoping he starts being a difference maker soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be Spags instead of Sutton that's the reason rather than Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefensiveMan 758 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BarrSh00.htm Shaq Barrett - 9 sacks this year already who would have expected. 1 year , 4 Mill contract with Bucs.

Exactly, that's why we brought in Frank Clark. He's the total package and has the track record and the nasty demeanor. Okafor, is formidable against the run as well. Ogbah, has been the most pleasant surprise on the D Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the ball leaves Brady hand in 2 sec every play, rushers are irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were three 3rd and 10's on that overtime drive, and not one man got to Brady or even caused discomfort PAChiefsFan79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 You don't have to get sacks to effect a potent offense. Case in point....the Detroit Lions. I just want to see continual progress on the D. I think Claiborne helps and I think we will get better as the season goes on. However I think Anthony Hitchens is a lost cause. You can't hit on every FA pick but if Veach can find a trade partner for a box of peanuts that would be good. Best LB's on this team are Wilson, Nieman and Lee.

Not like they will next season. But it will get better. As long as we have Mahomes, we will get to the dance. In a few weeks we will get Hill back. Sometime (soon, I hope), we will get Fisher back..and D.Williams. Mo Claiborne will help at some point. We have a fantastic coaching staff across the board, great game planning and play calling. We will likely lose to one of those teams in the meantime. But we can't expect the 1971 Miami Dolphins. We're going to lose some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
