I did not see him and after such a sick preseason was looking forward to him playing.

Marshawn had more tackles than he did. He didn't make the stat sheet at all.

Only time I saw him was when he whiffed on tackling Cunningham when Wags was pulling him by his jersey

I'm going to watch it again, but I don't think Seattle rotated him in once on that final Rams TD drive. Despite offensive substitutions which means the defense can also substitute, I didn't see him in the game once. I'm curious to see his snap counts because he didn't even seem to play much.

He got 16 snaps in, only 27% of defensive plays.

Seems like an odd strategy when the opposing team is lining up a couple of rookies.

Unfortunately he wasn't very effective. He pushed a guard back a decent amount once. He was ineffective at end the first few plays that he played. They sent him inside a couple of times, actually alongside Bennett, but Foles got rid of it quickly a few times, and then there were a few where he wasn't able to have an impact.

Im willing to give him time. Putting a rookie in against our most formidable oppenent DL was a bit of an acid test regardless.

What does our opponent's DL have to do with Frank Clark?

That line injures players on purpose, and we need Clark later in the season, and in the playoffs.

Dumb . . . start him at the three technique. Bennett, Avril, Clark, and Mebane (with Irvin blitzing on occasion) would be unstoppable against both the run and the pass. He is not your typical 280 pounder, he is stronger than most 300 pound men at the point of attack and against the run.

Rubin is worse than Clark inside against the run and dead weight as a pass rusher.
