I think Wilson is better than Hitchens and it isn't really close

Wilson is our best LB.... & you’re right .... it isn’t close.  

I think Ragland has done decent this year.  Hitchens & Nieman both need to improve next year or be gone.

Lee is awful & should be cut in the offseason.

DOD is a total mystery to me.  The guy should be out on the field based on the plays I’ve seen him involved in, but he pissed in Spags’ Cheerios during training camp .... or something....

I think Hitchens is very solid vs the run but he’s limited and when asked to do too much it impacts him there too. A Sorenson type being paid like Bobby Wagner  

 

 

 

Idk man I haven't seen the hitman anticipate a hole and make a play in the backfield like DJ would do.

They are about the same. Hitchens has a little more responsibility and a littl more production, but they are very similar players. Very similar limitations. 

Its like saying Darrel is better than Damien and it it’s really close. They are both OK just OK. Any difference is insignificant IMO.

I don't feel they are similar at all.  Wilson is the better one.  He has better instincts,  faster, better tackler, and a ton better in coverage

I guess, but you would think he would have  better stats than Hitch if that were the case. Hitch has more tackles per game and plays much more ST. Plus Hitch has to think more calling the D. 

Neither are very good in coverage but I think Wilson is better.

Wilson was the stud backer to start the year so didn't see a lot of time since we were in sub packages most of the time.  Since he's become the main guy he has taken off

Clark is questionable. Pretty sure he'll be on the sideline.

If he has had a cold for 4 days and is our best DE, do you really think he will not play at all?  I think your judgement is premature. Unless it was actual influenza, he should be pretty much over it and should get a dozen snaps.  I also think Reid would like to keep BB in the dark about this.

It said both earlier in the week, then all I saw was "illness." I know one thing.  If he can play at all, he will let Reid know.

He’s been WAY better than just okay the last month. His CAP hit this year is 7 million. Next year we will need the last 4 games guy all season to justify contract and trade. Likewise we really need it in the playoffs this year too. 

Im sorry but i dont factor contract manipulation for cap purposes to be an excuse for him to play better or worse each season. I do get your point though

I stand corrected. He showed up and played hard.

i cannot remember when i have heard Lee's name called at all...what a waste of a FA signing

Supposedly, Clark lost 12 pounds last week so it sounds like dehydration from the flu.  Glad he recovered for today, but he may still have been affected.

Whole new respect for Frank.  Lost 10+ pounds, was in the hospital, said he got more practice in the pregame walk through than all week, and still balled.  

[Adamixoye 604]

Hard to say this is a negative for Clark, but I felt like he missed a pick 6 on the pseudo-TD by Harry.  He was right there, maybe the camera angle made it look easier than it was.  Just like he missed on one that would have sealed the Titans game.

He got a lot faster from running to the bathroom all week.

Gritty performance by a tough player!

The guy is a warrior. Played through a bad hand injury all last season. He's the anti Sammy Watkins. At least Veach learned a lesson. You can't do much about injuries, but find players who will battle though them if at all possible.

This defense is so far ahead of last year it's really unbelievable.  I was skeptical about the Spags hire, but I'm pretty happy about him right now. 

[Fmbl2187 2,279]

Yeah.  Mahomes is obvously like that, too.  He battles through physical problems.  I think we are all now realizing that Frank Clark came with a high price for the same reason.  That's why he has been the whipping boy on this forum for some months, and now we are seeing that he is one of the heroes. Heroes are expensive.  I think Reid and Veatch want character guys up and down the roster.  They don't always get 'em, but they try.  And if they turn out to have low character, they toss 'em out like rancid peanuts, just like Kareem Hunt.

I'm with you reese but not only was I skeptical, I didn't like it. He's changing my mind.

I like the fact that when the camera shines on him, he doesn't seem to be having a panic attack.  He seems pissed.  Like a defensive coordinator should be.
