I seriously doubt that. Clowney was having a much better year than Mercilus before facing the hapless titans
TITANS OVERMATCHED IN FOURTH QUARTERS The Texans have best 4th-quarter scoring margin in NFL (+56), while the Titans have the worst (-40). Houston leads 20-6 early in the fourth quarter
God that Titans O-line sucks and they have several top picks invested. Almost feel sorry for Mettenberger...
Crick doesn't even know what to do with himself after getting a sack. He's walking around in a daze. No sack dance. He doesn't even know where the camera is.
Why cant we just play the Titans and Mettenberger...and then Bortles and the Jags every other week... I wont get fooled. This defense played well today... Also...we really need Mercilus playing along side Watt and find a way to trade or get something else for Clowney.
When Clowney is on the field isn't Mercilus playing out of position? When Clowney has been out Mercilus goes back to his natural position and performs better than Clowney. But you're right.. it's the just the Titans. I think they need to just let Clowney back up Mercilus and see how it goes.
Aaron Wilson @AaronWilson_NFL 17s17 seconds ago Texans have rushed for 28 yards on 13 carries, 18 yards for Chris Polk, 11 yards for Alfred Blue
Mercilus also had a sack from Clowney's spot when he missed a game earlier in the year. Mercilus just plays better at weakside OLB.
