On Friday, Clark said he wants his football to do most of his talking.

"Just watch the film," Clark said via Jon Machota of "The Athletic" and Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris. “I don't do too much talking. My game speaks for itself. How anybody else feels or whatever the case may be, that’s not my concern. I’m here to play football and be a dawg. That’s what I do.”

Clark also said that he can operate as a nose tackle or 3-tech if the Cowboys need him to play in different positions. The new Dallas DT also said he is no longer dealing with a toe injury after undergoing surgery in January.

Moreover, Clark is eager to play in the Cowboys' Week 1 game against the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, on Thursday.
