Clowney is a Brownie

That was a solid hit and i love seeing a Michigan player blown up but I believe Clowney has been vastly overrated since this hit. I'm still happy with the signing but I'm also not expecting double digit sacks from him this year or anything. I'm a homer but I'm partial to this hit. I love Gus Johnson btw (see Woody not a complete hater of Michigan) and his call of this.  "You got barbecue back there and didn't invite me? Hurt. My. Feelings."

Can’t decide if the hit or the one hand pickup while he’s squatting over the back was more impressive

When possible [eg, not in the 2-minute] here's guessing they'll play as many at the same time as possible.. would Clowney kick inside?

I would kick Clowney inside or Myles.  They are both versatile.  Playing them side by side is an intriguing prospect too.

Ok Christian Barmore----------------------come on down. Bets anyone?

[Unsympathetic]

Clowney's injury history 

Clowney's snap counts over the years - 426 snaps last season with no sacks.. yikes

 I’ll take the bet.
Our Browns Board Scout Team (Tiamat) didn’t seem to give Barmore an endorsement.

Im sensing slight trade up an Horn or maybe Newsome at 26. Jamin Davis or Moehrig maybe.  I got Four names.

I think we target DT in second or third I think a better spot and not much of a drop off...Nixon or McNeil.  3rd round Milton Williams 4th round Jaylen Twyman

Why? dude rocks dreads...   a lot of people do.

@tour2ma said:

Certainly in the mix, but which Rnd 1-worthy one falls to us at 26 who is not named Farley?

Of course if he does and our Med Staff has cleared him, then cha-ching.

Couldn't tell you which besides Farley are worthy IMHO.   Horn is the big name but aside from the Bama game, haven't watched him.

Hide your QB...better draft some Tackles.

Maybe the best hit I’ve seen in College Football

As much as I hate scUM, most overrated hit in college football.  But JD can thank his lucky stars for it otherwise Mack may have gotten more #1 overall hype.

Possible any of them do, my money would be on Takk though.  Myles first sack was from the 3-tech on a 6 man pressure IIRC.   

But could we see a Gmen lineup with Myles, JD, Gustin and Takk?  Wouldn't rule it out.

Don't know if it's Barmore, but another penetrating DT next to Richardson?

Sign me up...

One year.... $8mm with incentives for an added $2mm.

Smart deal.

Can't wait to see the incentives, but have to guess there's number of starts including playoff starts.

Berry is going for it in 2021.

Ditto Tour. Right player at the right price...

One thing that hasn't been talked about is that Berry has brought in guys who want to make a point. It's about pride. Clowney wants to prove he is a top tier player, Takk wants to live up to 1st round potential. Greedy & Delpit want to show what they are made of after injuries. Even Ward is motivated by it being a contract year. These are players with a lot of motivation. Statistically, not all of them will rise to the occasion but there is still a very high potential ceiling.

3 sacks in his last 22 games played.

Three.

Heard the news & I was... stoked ! !     This should cause Pittsburgh & the Bengals to draft... Offensive Tackles ! ! Well played AB...

He was on our practice squad and that is not equivalent to a 1st round DT take.

[TexasAg1969]

You think he's ready to be a Brown?

?

True.  
 

Is it Kwity Paye scenario - scheme and getting the pressures but not the numbers? 
 

Paye had 11 1/2 in 28 games

If it is, it must be two consecutive schemes that has held him down.

He had 3 sacks in 13 games with Seattle prior to having none in half a season with Tennessee last year.

The Browns needed pass rushing help this offseason. I don't understand how Clowney - who has never been a great NFL pass rusher and is getting worse - and Takk McKinley - who has been a disappointment so far in his NFL career, help this weakness.

Well, I guess he's due then......

Can we get pressures, stellar run defense, maybe some pass knockdowns and some overall general concern for him from opposing teams...that’s a major win for us.  Seems attainable too.
