Yeah, I like Clark a lot, but I don't see him as a "core Redskin."

I really like Ryan Clark too. I honestly don't know how much of an upgrade Archuleta is over him, however, I'm willing to wait and see what Williams does with Archuleta. I personally hope that if Ryan Clark can't start here he goes and finds a team where he can be the starter. I think going to Pitt would be great for him.

I think Clark is probably better in coverage than Arch, but he's not as good against the run (anyone remember how LT just plowed over him). Arch is bigger, stronger, and also a better blitzer.

I wish we could keep Clark for depth though. I'd feel much more comfortable having him here if ST goes to prison.

Ryan Clark signed with the Steelers per the washington post.

Quote:

former Redskins starting safety Ryan Clark agreed to a four-year contract with Pittsburgh, according to his agent, Joel Turner.

Clark's first visit was with Pittsburgh yesterday -- he was the first free agent entertained by the Super Bowl champion Steelers as well -- and final details of the contract were settled around 2:30 this afternoon. Clark came to Washington in 2004 after being cut by the New York Giants and was not expected to make the team but ended up getting a starting spot. The Redskins signed free agent Adam Archuleta to the largest contract in NFL history for a safety Monday, but Gregg Williams, assistant head coach -- defense, was still in contact with Clark as of Monday afternoon, according to Coach Joe Gibbs.

Clark quickly became a favorite among the players for his fearless style and friendly demeanor, and, although undersized for his position, won over fans with his determination as well. Turner said Clark leaves the Redskins with somewhat mixed emotions.

"Ryan's quite happy to be going to the Super Bowl champions," Turner said, "and we're very excited about his future there. But there's also a tinge of sadness, because he's leaving a place he really loved and a team that gave him his first real chance to show what he can do in the NFL.

clark has peaked we saw his best bury him in the front lean and rest!

I wish him well, part of the game. I would have really liked to keep both him and Royal. While I'm not sure how much of an upgrade Furia was at the TE position, I know Aruchletta is one over Clark at the saftey. Best of luck to him though, maybe we'll see him in the big dance next year.

I know it is aarly still but I sure fell better if I knew what we were going to do about the LB spot we need to fill! The back up OL and a 3rd DB is also out there! But that LB spot be it Marshall staying inside or out is a big question. I really don't think that can be fill by a draft pick. It would be asking a lot for a young guy to get GW D that fast and started. But you never know.
