Ryan Clark

[stopplayn]

Now I am not the biggest Clark fan but I do notice a drop in productivity in his absence. Has anyone seen any stats on our defense WITH him vs without him?

that's because Ryan Mundy starts in Ryan Clark's absence, we really need to address the safety position early in next year's draft.

Ryan Clark always drove me nuts b/c he's more interested in taking someone's head off instead of going for a pick.
BUT, I see you have to take the bad with the good and I was nervous without him in there the other night. He really allows Troy to be Troy.

We have the next Ryan Clark on our team, his name is Robert Golden. What we need is the next Troy Polamalu.

There is no next Troy Polamalu. There has never been anyone quite like him before in NFL history, and I don't foresee anyone quite like him on the horizon (unless perhaps Paisios Polamalu or Ephraim Polamalu develop into football players like their father...Paisios is already starting to grow the hair...Ephraim not so much just yet).

I thought for sure there would be no 2nd coming of Greg Lloyd until James Harrison came along.
But you're probably right....i say the same thing. Never been a Troy before, will never be a Troy again. Kinda like Chuck Norris.

I'll take Kenyon Rambo if we can get him.

edit - Wow, I just went old school. Let's make that Bacarri Rambo!

You of course right, but you still have to draft a stud playmaker for the secondary at some point.

I agree. Troy is one of a kind!!

There maybe another
