Jadeveon Clowney did not impress me. He could do what he could do, and what he did was sometimes very exciting, but the Seahawks pass rush was performing very poorly. No one owned that failure like Clowney. I feared we as fans, we as media, were anchoring ourselves to Clowney’s reputation. That we were in that mode in which excuses substituted for honest analysis.
Pressure may be production as someone said recently, but pressures and quarterback hits are not equal to sacks. Entering Week 7, Clowney was on pace for 2.
