    Just imagine... they won't know whom to double and triple team. :mad:

    DBs will be saying: "Hey, how come we haven't seen a pass coming our way? Oh, yeah, Clowney and Watt are the bombs!"

    What do you think will happen when Clowney returns, or do you think it will make no difference?

    Pick your stance now before it's hot off the press!

    That's a Titans thing....does that mean you're a Titans fan or are you just stealing their campaign?

    First, he has to prove that he is durable enough to stay on the field more than a few minutes. Thus far, he seems very "fragile." If he is truly "injury prone" then his potential talent is meaningless.

    I like your positivity but a 2 inch vertical skip or hop causing a torn meniscus might be indicative of wholesale tempering of expectations.

    Clowney is going to make Watt's life easier...and that in itself is going to be scary...


    Also many were suggesting that Clowney and Watt lineup on the same side...Personally, seeing how disruptive Watt is on which ever side that he may be, you want to get that same level of activity from the opposite side of the line. Using JJ's athleticism on one side, and using Clowney's speed on the other is going to give problems...

    Anyways...Clowney better be ready to smash some folks on MNF...

    Clown comment. It doesn't take much to mess up a knee when you step in a hole on a dangerous turf. His injury was unlucky, but the people making a big deal about it are pretty embarrassing.

    He will help stop LUCK in Indianapolis. I'm booking this as a win for us if the same team, save adding Clowney... and maybe Morris... will help. WIN at INDY for the first time evers, sir. :eek:

    Do you believe we will stop their offense or no?

    This opinion, or lack thereof, is coming from a guy whose username is appropriate. APPROVED. :)

    He can make cornerbacks and safeties not have to cover for as long accomplishing the same thing.

    They will get better when he returns. The problem is the offensive line.

    I just want him healthy this year. It's tough for a rookie pass rusher to make a large impact year 1. Similar to WR. He can definitely help, he's a plus against the run and he's already better than Reed & Merciless, that's for sure. I just don't think we'll see an elite level performance from him this season.

    Would like what you are smoking...Including last night, the Colts are 20-4 vs Houston alltime...20-4. Even when they went 2-14, one of their wins was against us at Indy...Thats how bad this team has our number... Indy owns us...and until we find a way to physically rattle Luck, we wont beat them.

    It doesn't have to be 100% of the time, the additional disruption in the run and pass game will help out exponentially.

    ^ Exactly my point.
    I didn't know we had WATT and CLOWNEY all those 21 times. I'm sorry. :eek:

    AND this, my friends, is the point of this thread! Thanks for pointing out all the other games!

    yeah it was directed at Clowney

    It was a joke anyway - it was more like a 1 inch hop/skip that caused the complete annihilation of his leg.
