Quote:It can, but a strong pass rush is something which comes from a whole team, not one player. For example, Clowney, if he comes here could set rookie records, he could be rampant, but I still don't think we as a defense would be top 10 in sacks or pass defense because the rest of the team doesn't have enough impact players to take advantage of the disruption he will cause.

Everything that happens on both sides of the ball, be it success or failure, is a product of the effort and talent of the whole team, not a single player.  That's undisputed.  

I agree that bottom of the barrel to top ten is an unrealistic expectation, but Clowney, in addition to the FA moves, could/should bring us to middle of the pack.  A single season jump of 15-16 positions or so is a huge increase in any category.
