MAJBobby Posted July 29, 2019 Author Posted July 29, 2019 12 hours ago, GunnerBill said: As I keep saying.... his pass rush efficiency numbers put him right up there with pretty much everyone. He was a tick less efficient than Mack last year and more efficient than Mack the year before. The reason Jadeveon Clowney doesn't get massive sack numbers is because he rushes less than almost all the guys putting up double digit sacks. He is in a different league to Olivier Vernon. If Clowney came into a defense where his job was hand in the dirt and go hunt that Quarterback every play he isn't just capable of 10 sacks... he would be in the high teens year after year. Character? Motivation? They are questions I think are legitimate. But the questions over his production stand up to absolutely no scrutiny. Spotrac even agrees with me and they are very good and normally really close to contract projections.

Not getting into a Bidding War over Clowney. If he comes at about where is is valued I would be ok with signing him. However not getting into that Bidding war where I have another bad Contract on the DL.

We don’t agree so fine. I will be fine with a 20M a year contract for him if they get out of the Bad Contract to Star. Only willing to risk carrying one bad contract on DL.

Only willing to risk carrying one bad contract on DL. Yea. I think you are guilty of just looking at the bare numbers when it comes to Clowney. The tape and the advanced analytics show a different story. That said Wilcots is right on one thing - he won't get Mack money.... Mack is $23m p/a. He will get Frank Clark money. He is a better player than Clark. I don't think Clowney would be a bad contract. Star's is but they can't really get out until after 2020.

Plays across from all pro and Mercilus is better rusher than he is as well. 17M max I would go. With incentives Edited July 29, 2019 by MAJBobby

He is an elite edge setter and a very good pass rusher. And while he isn't JJ Watt he is in a different league altogether to Whitney Mercilus who is a nice situational pass rusher and no more than that.

So yeah not as good as Frank Clark hence value = Frank Clark. No. He doesn't have less production. He has fewer sacks. Way more tackles and approaching double his tackles for loss. The reason he has fewer sacks as I have told you many times is he has fewer pass rush attempts. Frank Clark's pass rush win rate last season was 22%, Jadeveon Clowney's was 35%. The only two players in the NFL who had better pass rush win rates were Aaron Donald and Robert Quinn. The only reason Jadeveon Clowney doesn't have more sacks is because he is asked to rush the passer less than the people he is compared to.

But ok what is his production while hand in dirt face to face against on OT and Not having the benefit of Space as a Rush LBer in the 3-4. Cause you know it is all a projection of a 3-4 LBer to DE. Some can do it. (Hughes) many can’t. Edited July 29, 2019 by MAJBobby

Some can do it. (Hughes) many can’t. Well 55% of his snaps in 2018 came at defensive end either in 3 or 4 man fronts. He only played OLB 28% of the time (the remainder broke down as 4% at DT, 12% as an off the ball inside backer and 1% as a slot defender). I don't have the numbers infront of me immediately to cross reference the position he lined up against his responsibilities on each individual play but it is wrong to suggest that he benefits greatly from playing primarily out in space. The guy is just an all round outstanding defender. Personally I think the Texans are mad to even consider letting him go. If he reaches the open market there will be a scrum to sign him.
