[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 675957"] Assuming his back is OK and doesn't flare up, Clark should get some snaps. With the heat it will likely be a necessity. Perhaps they put him behind Lowry to send a message. But it does not surprise me that he's not at the top of the depth chart. Nor does it surprise me he listed at DE, not NT. I can't express strongly enough how poorly he played in preseason, getting pushed around on every snap. And this guy was touted as having a good fundamental foundation. As I said earlier, unless his back was bothering him from the get go and he didn't tell anyone, he's looking like a minimal contributor if not a liability. I'll illustrate my concerns me by way of a comparison. In his rookie preseason Pennel was a bit of a mess. He'd stand up at the snap (the infamous "pad level" issue). Consequently he'd not get off blocks or get any penetration. But the thing you could see was the strength and competitive attitude in that he wasn't getting pushed off the line either. Beginning in 2015 preseason game 1, a transformation process was evident in both technique and play awareness. When I look at Clark, I'm not seeing any glaring technical flaws. He just gets pushed around. So it's one of three things or a combination of them: the back, a lack of competitiveness or a strength issue. [/QUOTE]
