You said he was looking dominant at the OLB. I'm sorry, but a guy who looks dominant doesn't go 2 straight games without a single sack.. Hell, he only had 3 tackles both of those games combined.

He definitely could, nobody denies that.... That doesn't mean he should....... There's a reason why guys like Mario Williams and Julius Peppers go to teams that play the 4-3...

Another thing, please show me all the 6'5, 270 pound OLBs playing in the NFL right now. Don't worry, I'll wait.

That's Mario Williams for you though. Even as a defensive end he's had a two, three even four-sack game. Then he goes a few weeks with zero sacks. With the Bills or Texans he's just the type of player who can rack up sacks in bunches. It doesn't mean he wasn't dominant. Sacks don't always tell you the entire story.

Crennel already said he'd put Clowney at OLB, and Clowney lost 10 lbs so he doesn't have to play 34 DE.

I'd be fine with whatever Romeo Crennel wants. I'm with you on Bortles at least. My top three choices with the first overall pick: Clowney, Manziel, Bridgewater.

No sacks don't, but if a guy is looking dominant, I expect him to be around the ball and at least make some plays. 3 tackles in 2 combined games is not making plays.

Prior to the 2013 season, I could have asked you to show me all of the quarterbacks who were 5'11 in height, much less African American, that has won a Super Bowl before. Just because it's not something you can point to that happens often doesn't mean it can't work out.

That Russel Wilson, carrying his team in the Super Bowl. It's a good thing that Seattle Defense isn't that good and didn't have much to do with that outcome.

People still criticize Jadeveon Clowney for not racking up double-digit sacks this past season at South Carolina. They don't even take into account the double and triple teams he was generating. I wonder if he had been rushing off the edge as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense if he can bypass some of those blockers. He won't see a constant double team with the Texans playing on the same defense as J.J. Watt. That's for certain.

A dominating defense and run game is what I want to have with the Texans. This is why I want Jadeveon Clowney so badly.

You're probably one of those guys who actually believe he was double and triple teamed on every play huh?
