In last year's AFCG, Clark was an assassin, burning us time and again with clutch catches. The simple fact was our old, tired LBs could not play with him.

So who will attempt to neutralize him this year?

Do you think AD will shadow him? Or will BB simply rely on scheme and not any one particular player?

I was hoping that Meriweather would be up to speed by now and be able to serve as the guy to handle Clark in nickel and/or dime packages, but after watching Cooley ride him into the EZ, I don't think he's ready for prime time just yet.

Really, Clark is the only receiver on that team that scares me. With the same corners as last year we were able to pretty ably shut down their WRs. I just don't want the Goatteed One carving us up over the middle again.

I agree but if I see what I usally see from Clark he like to catch passes over the middle and most of the time LBs are in on the play,Seau and Bruschi better have thier running shoes on sunday.

If Bruschi or Seau are ever on Clark look for Manning to take full advantage all day.

Does anyone know how fast clark is in terms of 40 time? He doesn't look that fast when he is running with the ball, but he always seems to have seperation from the defender, regardless if it is a DB or a LB.

I'm sure Eric Alexander will have no problem covering Dallas Clark.

Seau wasn't playing in the AFCCG, nor was Harrison, and Thomas wasn't with us, but played well against the Colts for the Ravens in the div game.

The Ravens limited Clark in their game last year. He had 2 completions for 41 yards. But 9 passes were broken up and 1 was intercepted. Clark was covered by Thomas, Johnson and Suggs, all LBs. His 2 receptions were against safeties, Ed Reed and Ivy. Reed also had the pick.

At the 03 combine he ran a 4.68, little old but thats something

As I recall, he ran about a 4.55 around the time of the combine. I agree he doesn't look particularly fast, but he seems to always out run lb and even safeties. No doubt a big weapon for us.

Are you saying a LB can cover Dallas Clark?

Is Clark the priority? The closer the game gets the more I think Addai should be the priority.

If NE wanted to put a guy on Clark you'd have to think Thomas would be it.
