re: Damone Clark making his presence felt

Like several other before him, it takes a while to learn the discipline of playing linebacker. Guys like him, that are big and can really move, play all over the field in high school and generally just go after the ball. That is what kept Beckwith off the field so much for his first year and a half. He just kept going after where he thought the ball was going and leaving the middle of the field wide open. Once that light bulb goes off for the player, there playing time goes way up. We were spoiled by White and Phillips as you generally don't see a player pick it up that well their freshman year.
