Why Clowney wanted to come to Seattle

[ThePro]

.I imagine Clowney spending nearly all his time at Leo.

In this defense a 4-3 UNDER. That position is basically a rush OLB.

Correct....and the term Rush, in my opinion, is going to define his position more than the standard term OLB. Kendricks, Wagner and Wright will handle that.

Clowney will be as much a LB as Clemons was. Besides, if Clemons was an OLB, then KJ or Kendricks would be described as ILB...and wouldn't Bobby be ILB and not MLB?

I realize that is technicalities that don't really matter, but as I said, describing Clowney as an OLB here because he might drop in coverage would be like calling Flowers a rush end because he blitzed.

I'm not calling him a OLB but he will play there sometimes. This really isn't worth this much discussion. Clowney is not going to explode if he plays multiple positions. They might line him up at DT some snaps too.

Agreed. But, reading his own words, part of the reason he came here was to play more rush end. Sounds like the biggest reason was Duane Brown's recruitment and the culture here. Funny, guys like Sherman, Thomas and Bennett would have you believe otherwise. Maybe those guys were the problem and not the organization?

Oh boy, guessing news of the Clowney trade won't make him more eager to get out of concussion protocol. lol

Looks like the Bengals back up LT is dogshat.

I predict Bengals are held under 250 yards
