Has Clowney come into his own?

He was a beast last night, he was all over the field, virtually unstoppable. Not sure if he's figured out the defensive scheme or simply found his mojo, but he was dominant against SF.

Gregg Bell suggested that he figured out he wasn't going to get paid at the end of the season without kicking it up a few levels.

Well, if this is the guy we would be paying for, we better break out the checkbook! We promised him we wouldn't tag him, and I guess it is too long into his current tag so we can't extend him. But I sure hope we sign him.

Hopefully the Tasmanian Devil that possessed his soul last night hangs around for a few more months.

Most fans could probably come up with 57 reasons not to re-sign Ziggy :lol:

Yes he was a huge factor.
He is a big reason why the 49ers stats don't look so good by the time the game ended.
My thanks go out to the Hawks management for identifying their biggest need and figuring out a way to tighten up the defense.

Same player he's always been. Last night he gave a glimpse of what he could become with Hawks. Great trade now they need to sign him.

from after the Rams game, really, he has been doing it all season
Carroll added that Jadeveon Clowney has been playing at a high level despite having just one sack on the season. That claim is supported by Clowney’s 84.6 overall grade this season according to Pro Football Focus. His five games have been highlighted by a pick-six against the Cardinals and a forced fumble/fumble recovery against the Rams.

“Clowney was so close to having a huge night, he was all over,” Carroll said. “Arms up, just missed probably four different times to knock balls down to be a factor on the plays. He was wild with his rushes, I thought he did a great job, it just didn’t show up numbers wise. But he had an effect.”
