TE-DALLAS CLARK (on with WR-Marvin Harrison expected back after a lengthy period due to injury, and with him going through something similar last year, how long it takes to get back in the flow) * *
"I think that all is based on the individual person. Marv's been here twice as long as I have, so it would take me a little bit longer. I think it was really important that I got back for that Miami game last year before the playoffs started to just kind of get the rust if you will chipped away. But Marv, I think he's considered a gamer. I think he can just come in and do what Marv does. I think you should expect exactly what he's capable of, so it definitely helps us. As much as he's confident with everything, you should expect a great game. But obviously he would be the one to ask that."
TE-DALLAS CLARK (on possibly having all of the receiving weapons back and being able to do what each is supposed to do)
"It definitely helps with the whole flow, especially from an offensive standpoint, just having the guys back. We haven't been playing together for a few weeks now together and getting that rhythm going, that's always crucial going into the playoffs. You want everyone back. To win playoff games, you need everyone, and we're fortunate enough. We've had kind of the injury bug during the whole season, so we've been able to get guys back. I think it's one of those things that we'll be able to just play with a little more confidence and guys going out there and doing their job to their expectations. I think it definitely helps, but does it mean we're going to win? We still have to go out there and play, that's the whole thing. So it doesn't matter. Those guys who stepped in that weren't original starters, they came in and played really well, so you can't take anything away from them either."
TE-DALLAS CLARK(on if he thinks the Colts are better at this time this year than they were at this point last year)
"I don't know. That's a tough question. Obviously we had a little rougher December last year, losing a couple of games, and we didn't have that situation this year. From that standpoint, obviously it looks like we're better, but that's tough. We're kind of more focused on that this is a new season, this is a new playoff run, everyone's 0-0 at this point, and you got here for a reason, that you're a good football team. I think we're a good football team, just like San Diego is a good football team. So I think it's one of those that it really doesn't matter. We just have to go out there and execute."
TE-DALLAS CLARK(on not receiving as much attention this year because of the season New England has had and if he feels they have flown under the radar)
"That's not a bad thing and that's not why we play. We're just going out there and trying to get better each week. When you're playing in a season with a team like New England, what they're accomplishing and what they're doing over there with the whole undefeated thing, obviously that's going to get all the attention, and that's great. They deserve all the credit, all the attention that they got, because it's a great achievement as a team. You're not going to sit here and wish you had more attention. We're playing our games just like they're playing their games, and that's what you play for. You
