    Agreed, and it was Clowney's initial number that I was complaining about, they originally gave him a 73 something and Mack (who did nothing all game) a 74 something. The updated numbers are a much better reflection of impact.

    Yeah the sample size could create a bit of an odd score. Either way, I liked what ALL of our TE's brought to the game yesterday when it came to blocking and receiving. Fiedorowicz, Griffin, and Anderson is really solid and deep.

    PFF was loving Clowney last year too. One of the few that were.

    Brock's throw against cover 2 on the throw to Fuller that he dropped was just wonderful.

    Brock baited both safeties to the Crossing TE/Hop going deep and it created that opening for him to drop that dime that Fuller dropped.

    It's good QB play all around.

    It's been updated since then, Micheal Bennett got an 83.3 so they are 2 and 3 instead of 1 and 2 now.

    I'll take a 64.3 PFF grade + 1 int from our free safety all year long.

    Yeah, thats true. I just want the word to get out more. It's annoying talking to my friends in other cities that see Clowney as a bust because he hasnt been getting 12+ sacks every year. Nobody realizes the impact he has on the field and I just hope he remains healthy so people can see he can be a top notch defender.

    He had a solid game but he started the afternoon by rolling up on Cush's knee so it kinda dampens his play after that

    If he stays on the field he will get recognition.

    He is extremely dominant.

    When he's playing with his hand down like he did yesterday, the possibility for injury is greatly reduces so as long as they keep letting him play some variation of DE he'll be fine, he should've had three sacks yesterday but the refs let a lot of holding go uncalled

    Listening to Sean Jones criticize this team over and over again is terrible radio. That dude is the worst.

    This is going to be a fun season. I'm sure there will be some clunkers but I can see 12-4 or better happening.

    I think it comes down to the next game.

    If Houston can take out KC the confidence will be at an all time high.
