Quote: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.

 

 

"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.

 

 

Wow..  You mad?  You spent so many key strokes trying to prove your point, yet really said nothing.  It has to be so tiresome.

 

It's going to be fun watching this season take it's course and watching Clowney thrive in this defenseive scheme while you search for excuse after excuse on how he is a bad fit for it. 

 

 

BTW,  Steve Slaton was a excellent player and prospect... until his neck injury which gave him permanent nerve damage that caused him to cough the ball up every time he was hit in the head/neck. So Try again.

 

You say Clowney will suck and fail to reach his potential playing in this system

 

I say he won't and will thrive in it

 

At the end of the season we'll revisit this and see who was right.
