Cowboyz1 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 They have JJ Watt, Clowney, Cushing and a decent secondary but what gives. They seem to not be able to stop anyone. Watt is doing nothing. Clowney just gets blocked on every single down and has zero effect off the edge. Is it effort? I just don't get why they are so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooty Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Excluding Watt and maybe Jonathan Joseph they really aren't that good. Cushing is always hurt and its starting to show. The rest of the LBs are average at best. Clowney is looking like a bust and may never recover from the knee issue. Good scheme last year and the offense may actually be worse and it isn't helping the D any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Yeah, when I heard Clowney having Micro fracture surgery, I figured he was done. That knee will never be 100% and he was all about speed and power off the edge. Without a good knee I can't see him being the same player without the power in his leg.

Bobby Brown Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 They could also use a decent QB like 40 year old Matt Hasselbeck. That last pass by Hoyer was maybe one of the worst I've ever seen a pro QB make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even see that in high school games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I think we're getting to a point where you can't talk about the strengths of the Texans D and mention Clowney. Injuries have plagued him but he wasn't exactly dominant in his final year of college either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dope man Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Clowney mailed in his final year at South Carolina because he was scared of getting hurt, things happen in the League and at least he got to sign his name on the dotted line before he ruined his knee....he probably won't be in the league for another 3 or 4 years, at least he can limp to the bank then!

Cowboyz1 Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Clowney mailed in his final year at South Carolina because he was scared of getting hurt, things happen in the League and at least he got to sign his name on the dotted line before he ruined his knee....he probably won't be in the league for another 3 or 4 years, at least he can limp to the bank then! Yeah that knee was damaged and he protected it until he got his dough. Now he's just another big body that will bust out of the league with millions. Can't blame the guy though. He's worked his entire life to play in the NFL and make money if he hadn't kept that knee a secret he would have been working for the rest of his life at some car wash. It's not like NFL teams are hurt financially where as it meant everything to him and his family. Edited October 12, 2015 by Cowboyz1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorcher Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 In one draft the guy in front of me grabbed the Houston D and I had to settle for Denver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebby Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 In one draft the guy in front of me grabbed the Houston D and I had to settle for Denver. Yeah I managed to get Denver off waivers after week 1. I don't even remember who I had initially, was planning on streaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
