Quote:I'm not looking for any "justification".  What I want to see is simply someone to admit they were wrong. 

 

During the entire offseason this guy said Clowney couldn't make the switch to that position and talked about how he would fail or bust at that position and how the Texans weren't going to allow him to play to his potential (just like when they had Mario Williams stand up).  I'm simply calling him out on it and it's funny to see him now refusing to admit that he was wrong.  The more snaps and games that are played and take place, this fact will only become more apparent so the sooner that he can simply admit He was wrong the quicker it will be that He doesn't look so foolish.

You haven't done anything to prove me "wrong" because nothing significant has happened to prove you're right, which is why I said this argument is going nowhere.

 

I think what's even more hilarious is that you, a Texans fan, someone who should be used to preseason all-stars, should know better than to count your chickens before they hatch. Me, on the other hand, I'm still not entirely convinced Clowney can play the 3-4 to his fullest potential and I've posted why so many times on this board and the only thing he has proven is that when he knows it's a pass, he can rush the passer, but a 3-4 OLB has so much more responsibility than that from a play recognition perspective.

 

What you're trying to "prove" is that I'm "wrong" about something that lacks data to prove either way. I still maintain that Clowney will not play up to his fullest potential in the 3-4, and I still maintain that those odds are still in my favor as long as Clowney is still making terrible mistakes like getting ripped by the play action, especially in a division that loves its bootlegs.

 

I never said Clowney couldn't play the 3-4 OLB to his fullest potential, I said he wouldn't. He's got an entire season to prove me right or wrong. The game against Atlanta was a step in the right direction. The game in Arizona wasn't.

Should I just keep posting links describing what actually happened and how well Clowney has played from the 3-4 OLBer position or should we just continue with your narrative that he will fail and the Texans are wasting his ability by putting him at that position in this defensive scheme?

 

Also the reason why I brought up Ware and Williams is because both players are comparable in talent, size, and also were asked to make the move to OLBer from DE... and like Clowney they were given free rein to rush the passer/attack and hardly ever were asked to drop back into coverage.

 

"Things are good because someone else tells me they are"


It's hilarious because in the exact video you posted, the very first highlight is Clowney stunting inside and still overpursuing the running back. Again, play recognition.


But at least you've found someone that shares your opinion. That's great. I actually watched the game. The only thing I got out of that Arizona game is that Houston needs to switch to a 4-3 because the 3-4 is so miscast on them it's sad to watch. Again, I can tell you that opinion is not exclusive to me. It's like watching the world's sexiest blonde consistently dye her hair red.

 

You should probably wait before the regular season before making a fresh account literally to tell someone their opinion is wrong. Another member of this board learned the hard way with Steve Slaton.
