DannyB Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Is it bad that anytime a good player joins, or is rumored to join the Browns, I'm totally fine with it because it just makes me go "Welp, at least they won't be a threat". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is more about the Browns, but honestly at this point, clowney himself just doesn't scare me over an entire season. He'll have his games here and there but at this point I almost view it as a buy low upside move and little else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he’s an elite edge defender against the run. We get gashed on off tackle runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him as a quality role signing, but clowney isn't a guy I'm throwing a ton of money at, and I don't view him as a free agent at the level like Suh was when he went to Miami and others like that. As an opponent, I'd think it was solid, and then not think about it again. As a niner fan, I'm not doing cartwheels that he's gone from Seattle. He's like someone signing a good #2 wide receiver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowney just hasn't put it together as a pass-rusher despite having, at times, one of the best pass-rushers alongside him in JJ Watt. No way do I give him big money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimore's not a threat until Lamar proves he can do something other than run around and juke people in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big Texans fan, and there is no love lost with Clowney (and especially with BOB). He was supposed to be this all-world talent of a pass-rusher, and he's clearly not. He's a solid #2, on that mid 2010s JPP/Olivier Vernon-tier as a rusher. In run defense, though, he IS elite. I didn't see much of his play with the Hawks and I understand he had a down season, but in the AFC South, a division where basically every team has had a strong rushing attack, Clowney has been a monster. He sheds blocks like no tomorrow. He's developed the heavy hands to turn offensive linemen into their backs. He's excellent at attacking blockers and disrupting the play. His lateral quickness on the outside makes him an asset in containment. The main thing with Clowney is that he never really developed north-south ability. Most of his sacks are from QBs scrambling. He's great when they're on the move, but his straight-line speed hasn't translated like AT ALL. He's really an ideal run-defender due to this. He just disrupts, sheds, and tackles on an every-down basis when runs are in his territory. Electric in that aspect of the game, and I doubt you'd find someone better. He was the best run-stopper on the best run-stopping team in football in Houston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who does Cleveland have across from Delpit? Adams and Delpit sounds surreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
