9 sacks is average.

Single digits in a passing league with a 17 game season. 

 

I would imagine he would be here for rotation. So running downs mostly, 1-2nd downs. he would be a good fit. Don't think of him as your starter.

Guess we shouldn't have bothered picking up Burns' 5th year option then...

"Average" is an improvement to what we currently have opposite Burns. 

Two "Average" pass rushers with one being a stout run defender automatically improves our defense as opposed to having one "average" pass rusher who is bad at run defense and some Jags opposite him.

Okay, how many “average” defensive ends do we have on this team able to rush the passer? Our best rusher from last year is now in Philly and our best DE is “average” since he ONLY had 9 sacks last year. Our next best rusher had just 3.5 sacks last year.  Clowney is an upgrade over any rusher on this team not named Burns. Stop with the ignorance.

I'm not high on Burns At all

 

He has grossly underperformed

I followed Clowney through high school and college.  He was an absolute freak of an athlete.  The last year he played at USC he just kind of went through the motions and did not have a high motor.  If he wants to play and can find that motivation he can still have an impact on what the offense does, but I question how badly he wants to be great.  I know he's had some injuries, but he had all the tools to be a great one, just question the heart.  He reminded me a lot of Javon Kearse with just his sheer physical abilities.  Watching his high school tape is a lot of fun, he was running people down from 20 yards back.

I feel like giving Corral the best chance to win (short fields, lots of opportunities) is pretty important. I would sign Clowney for sure to a 1 year deal. We have $30 mil of cap space for this year. Use it to really see what we have. 

We borrowed a good chunk of that from next years cap, we're listed as being in the negative next year so should probably just let most of it roll over. If he's like $4-5M I'd be cool w it

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By strato · Posted

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
