OILERMAN Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Clowney would be a super luxury for the Titans. If he were to play all year and reach his high end potential the Titans defense would likely be among the best units in the league. The downside is he misses games and plays injured, doesn't finish the season. The Titans defense could potentially be good enough without him but a lot of things in the front seven would have to go right. tgo, and rns90 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that even if he missed some games due to injury they would still be “good enough” during his absence. But they have to sign him to have a chance at being elite. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But trust me, anyone who “doesn’t care” anymore, will turn around about .002 seconds after signing him, if we do.

And the fact that NO has a star edge rusher would only make Clowney’s job easier. With Landry and Beasley here, it would also be a good situation as far as making his job easy. Pass rushers love playing fresh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no one other there that fits their scheme and offers a different skill set (most of the Titans' edge rushers are faster/lighter types) than Clowney and they have the cash to sign him. 4 minutes ago, Face said: Exactly.

Simmons is going to be that guy. I'd be happy with signing Clowney, but I think he's a tad overrated. Still a pretty good player when on, but he's not the elite guy he thinks he is.

AussieTitanFan08 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Now the only real impediment has been removed from Clowney signing somewhere (team physical) it is going to be interesting to see if Clowney continues to slow play making a decision so he can avoid participating in training camp or if he signs in the next few days, Rapoport on a recent radio appearance suggested Clowney could wait till training camp is winding down before signing somewhere. If I was a GM/HC there would have to be some level of concern about his motivation for this season if he deliberately avoids signing just so he can miss training camp. prometheus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowney doesn’t have the sack numbers of a guy like LT or the Freak. But he still is a great player who generates a lot of pressure and disruption. Also, adding one more disruptive guy on the front makes it that much harder for the offense. I want to see a passing down front 4 of Landry, Clowney, Simmons, and Beasley.

Simmons is going to be a stud but imagine how much better he would be if he had Clowney playing next to him. Clowney hasn’t put together some crazy all pro season to put him in that top tier but teams still game plan him like he is one of those guys. That’s almost just as valuable as a guy that gets you 15 sacks. OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a very good player who would be an asset. I'd be reluctant to pay him long-term, but on a 1 yr deal its worth the shot.
