But yeah, force him to his right, make him have to move in a direction he isn't as comfortable with, and process at the same time. It's how Spags handled him last time, and it worked beautifully. |

And there is the issue right there. We really don't have a legit force on the opposite side of Frank. There was a reason Veach brought in Suggs last year.

IMO, this type of game-plan frustrates Allen. And over the course of the game that frustration can reap dividends. If Spags can get in his head and keep frustrating him, Allen should start making mistakes. And those mistakes should translate into INTs or other turnovers. Which are far better than sacks. Give me the ball back. Who cares if we have a crooked number in the "sack" stat line. And the best way to execute that plan is for the defense to play extremely disciplined football. Stay in your lane, keep Allen contained, send an occasional but well-timed extra blitzer, and let HB/Thornhill/Sneed/Breeland/Sorenson ball-hawk. Sacks are for stats mavens. Turnovers win games. |

You're witty response is to bring up a twaddle from 14 months ago? Yay. Kudos for being able to find something that's nearly a year-and-a-half old, and not relevant to the actual current conversation. |

It's relevant. That goes to show that Frank himself likely isn't even satisfied with his play.
We can try and sweep it under the rug all we want because ultimately we won, but if we had lost, he'd have shared a lot of the blame for no-showing in the backfield. |

If we lose because we constantly lost the edge and let Allen get out of the pocket and make plays, but Frank had 3 sacks, you good?

Why do you act like it's one or the other? You pay a player $100mil because you believe he can do both the stat sheet impact plays and the "hidden" plays.

Frank Clark got a $100m deal. He's an edge rusher. He is expected to set the edge against the run AND have a meaningful impact on the pass rush. Dude's taking up $26m of cap space next season. We need more than an edge-setter in run defense. |

$26 million?
Have Clark and Mathieu swap salaries next year. Even afterward, Clark would still be overpaid. |
