I did expect a few sacks by now but not more than 3 or 4. It was why I was so adamant that we should not spend more than 12mil or so on him. Pretty detailed explanation. I expected him not to suck.

japan Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Doubtful they view Clowney in same light as Beasley. He’s giving effort just not getting home. You definitely weaken the line without him in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People got themselves worked into a frenzy this offseason like he was some sort of dominant game-wrecker a la Aaron Donald .....but what we're seeing is the the exact same guy he's always been: a good-but-not-great player who will make plays once in a while, but who also disappears for stretches and never quite lives up to his reputation. The guy has been in the league for seven years. Why anyone expected him to change now is beyond me. He’s one of the most disruptive guys in the league (he was amazing for Seattle last year). He’s elite at what he does but it just doesn’t result in sacks for him personally. There’s a reason why watts best years were next to Clowney.

Flarb Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 If you have eyes in your face, you know he has been awful. Just awful. I don’t even need to comment, really. He’s embarrassing himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like his missed tackle on JB, as long as JC was chasing him somebody (Vic Beasley (cough)) should have been back there by then to help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT9 Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 13 hours ago, SirLanceALot said: We knew going in that sacks weren’t Clowney’s strong suit. He’s still generating pressures and I believe he’s leading the league in win percentage without a sack. I blame our secondary for a lot of it. Hard to get to the QB when he’s got receivers getting open in less than 3 seconds. To say he’s a bust is wrong. Clowney has had multiple chances for a sack and missed.

Ok but what I’m saying is, before we signed him, we knew he wasn’t a sack artist. He’s a disruptor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowney wasnt even in the nfl in 12. He didnt play 14 as a rookie (microfracture knee surgery). 15 was basically his rookie year and he didnt do much.
