Barry Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Wasn't Houston going to visit us? If so, it looks like a little tightening of the vice by AB may have pushed Clowney faster than he wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsympathetic Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Just for context: Clowney 2020 // Vernon 2020. We don't have a drastic need into which a first-round pick will be thrown. Who are you, Andrew Berry, and what have you done with Berea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggins7919 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 This tells me that his knees passed some sort of physical. Injuries robbed Clowney of some of freakiness but there's no doubt he can be a force...especially against single blocking assignments and especially if he doesn't have to play every snap. This could be an extremely important signing...make it happen. I also think this means we're going CB in the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I surely hope, if this is true, that Clowney and his 3 sacks in his last 22 games played doesn't keep the Browns from adding a DE early in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't double team them both, especially with Jackson now added to the middle push into the DEs. We are doing to D what we did to the O last offseason. This team is headed for greatness. Can ya feel it?😱😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Don't think of Clowney as a past #1 overall pick.. think of him as Olivier Vernon. For those of you who don't click links, their performances last year were separated by 0.1 Realistic expectations are key.. if you expect Myles Garrett, he'll disappoint. If you expect Curtis Weaver, you'll be happy. As to who to take.. I'd say this allows us to sit back and see which top-20 defensive talent falls to us. The pool of not-elite-but-pretty-good is a large one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SdBacker80 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 It is All about rotating DUDES upfront. We’ve acquired the dudes now. Still want a DE/DT within first couple picks. This is a Great signing if Clowney is on 40-50% snap pitch count. We are finally assembling depth where we can keep guys fresh with little to no drop off.

I don’t think it matters we have a lot of key contributors on potential one year deals...(free agents or could be cut before 2022 with little to no penalty). We can go in any number of directions including edge rusher at 26. But id rule out QB, LT, RT, RB, K, P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past two seasons he's been on Subpar pass rushing fronts. So naturally he will draw the extra assignment as the largest threat... But in this case it was pretty much by default. Harold Landry is an ok player, but JD hasn't been on the line with any high end talent since Watt. Yes, that includes me considering Poona Ford and Jurrel Casey.

Yep...And of course I’d expect less double teams on the Browns and fewer snaps (fingers crossed). So he’s fresh and dealing with one on one battles coming after the QB in the 4th quarter because we are playing ahead. we need dudes and we got another one...we have to chase Burrow and Lamar 4 times a year.

Orion Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I thought word from his camp was that we 'Weren't a good fit' for him? Why would we fit now? No better offers? In the end, I want Berry to get what he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernieSuperbowl Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Two years in a row Clowney visits us and says we're not a good fit. What happened? Best guess - Clowney found out there is no market for someone who played 8 games with zero sacks last year. Having said that, I'm happy to have him if it's a reasonable contract. I could see him being a locker room cancer with his selfishness, but this is the closest we've ever been to being contenders, so you got to take some chances. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 If Clowney came on board then our draft board would open up a little more. It wouldn't preclude drafting an edge guy that fell to us, but it would move other positions up the ladder a bit. Maybe even take a chance on an OLB that you think might also be a strong edge rusher. (I don't like running the 'jack of all trades' risk in the 1st round though) ...IMO it also makes trading up or back less stressful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm starting to think the Browns are signing some other Jadeveon Clowney.
