Jadeveon Clowney dominates

#1

I was wondering when this guy was going to make an impact. And oh goody, we get to play against him twice a year... Texans have a nasty defense when you consider they also have JJ. Watt.

I'm glad they passed on the franchise QB

Not to worry, Joeckel has been pretty good this preseason too.

Clowney's biggest knock has always been consistency, and since coming into the NFL, his health.  With JJ Watt sidelined with a back injury that could significantly impact him for the rest of his career, Houston's defense isn't nearly as scary.  Their biggest issue as a team has always been the lack of a franchise QB.  They still haven't identified that guy.  They'll be stiff competition in the division, but not a team that we need to fear. 

 

Besides all of that, the New Orleans Saints offensive line hasn't exactly been outstanding to date, and facing Houston in week 2 of the preseason means there was little to no game planning to deal with the pass rush.  Let's not jump the shark with how great Clowney is going to be based on this game.

He's had a good pre...... PRE......preseason game. 2 years after being drafted. Let's wait and see if he can do it in another preseason game.

He's looking good. If he's actually fully focused on football now, and he stays healthy, he could finally live up to the hype.

He showed in a preseason game.  Unitl he can put a string of good games together without getting hurt, I'm not worried.

 

I will say, his pay check years are coming up so miraculously the injury bug may go away.  There is 0 chance I would want this guy on the Jags.

Clowney had a good preseason game? We should forfeit the season.

 

On a more serious note, hopefully he remains inconsistent and on the sideline.

As much as people are upset about Fowler having some struggles in preseason and that we shouldn't look too much into it, the same goes for this. It's preseason. It's natural to be excited, but once the season starts, it can change for better or worse.

Well Clowney got a sack today. I am curious what Texan fans thought of the game as far as him and Oswieler go.




Yes, it's improvement, but it's Blaine Gabbert 2012 level improvement. - Pirkster

he was solid, got some decent pressure, like to see more, and the Bears rarely ran to his side

Clowney looked good, he's been disruptive, which is all we can ask for. Brock also looked good after that interception he threw. His ball placement was solid, and he wasn't afraid to look for Fuller deep, which is good to know. Definitely could use some improvement, but all in all the Texans had a good foundation to start from. Lamar Miller looked good, not very efficient, but that will probably get better.

Osweiler just looks like he throws the ball funny to me. Just his whole wind up/motion in general.


Being a Blake supporter I shouldn't be one to criticize mechanics too much, but he just looks odd to me.

He does have unorthodox mechanics, mainly because he throws in 3/4 quarters side arm motion instead of over the top usually.


But like I tell people, if it isn't broke, the Texans certainly shouldn't fix it. Someone n a Texans site pointed out awhile back how Brock actually becomes less accurate when he throws over the top than when he uses his usual motion. And people have said that it could lead to some batted passes, and that may be true but still if he's a lot more accurate in that motion than you don't change it. Amd I wouldn't change Bortles' mechanics if it works for him.
