Danny Clark IN the Red Zone

truck man said

never had problems with the Raiders in coverage. he was deemed an every down LBer. he just was phased out because of his cap number and the youth movement on their defense. none of you have seen the guy cover this year, yet you make these statements. remember what they said about Colston he wasn't fast enough to get seperation and was a tweener, well he showed them. IMO it has more to do with the knowledge of the playbook or lack there of.

The Raiders release had absoloutely nothing to due with youth or contract since Danny Clark is neither particularly old nor was the final year on his 3 year - 3 million dollar contract particularly expensive. He was released because they moved Kirk Morrison inside, making room for Sam Williams. Clark was then released and the Saints picked him up at near the NFL vet-minimum.

Danny Clark sat on the bench in Nickel and Dime situations with the Raiders suggesting he was a liability in pass coverage.
