Rookie Frank Clark is still waiting to make a big impact for the Seattle Seahawks.
So what happened to Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Frank Clark, who was the star of the preseason but hasn’t found the going as easy in the regular season?
The regular season, that’s what, according to Seattle defensive coordinator Kris Richard.
During Richard’s weekly meeting with the media on Thursday, the questioning turned to Clark, who had 15 tackles in four preseason games — the most of any defensive lineman — but has had just six in the regular season. Richard was asked if it was as simple as the fact that in the preseason Clark played against a lot of other rookies and non-starters trying to make teams and now was playing solely against regulars in games that mean something.
