Clowney

I've never been a huge fan, but after he stormed off today and having been such a disappointment so far, what would you be willing to give up in a trade to bring him home with 2 years plus the option left on his rookie deal?  What would the Texans be willing to accept?

John McClain ✔ @McClain_on_NFL Clowney has known since after practice Wednesday he wasn't playing. Left stadium to take tickets to family. 3:04 PM - 9 Jan 2016

 

EDIT: Do not believe everything ESPN tells you...

Pretty much. Short of him being flat out released the only thing they would take a look at is Anderson and picks. 

Their board doesn't bat an eye when the possibility of shipping him for a 3rd comes up.  For the last pick in the 3rd round?  Risky?  Sure.  But holy crap you can't say it's not intriguing if being home really is where he belongs and can thrive.

Oh absolutely. If Gettleman has picked 2 BPAs and neither of them have been defensive end you absolutely make the phone call to Houston and check their price. Hell any team with a need at DE that feels the value is there would be dumb not to call after the 2nd round.

I was a huge fan of him when he was playing for the Gamecocks but I just thought he doesn't have a big heart to play in the NFL. He took plays off often. I dreamed of seeing him suited up that #90 Panthers jersey but not now.

Considering his injury history too, no thanks.

    • Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.
    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
