I have 2 complaints with Clowney, one is on him and I think the other might be on RAC. To me Clowney needs to play with better discipline. I saw a tweet, and I apologize for not posting it but i cannot remember the author, where it compared the yardage lost on Clowney’s sacks and TFLs (allowing 2-3yds per TFL) to all his penalty yardage, it was a wash. Additionally numerous times during the season, as well as last night, he dives inside and loses contain and it has caused issues. Add that to the penalties and it’s a problem IMHO.
Also, it seems like they don’t know what to do with Merciless now. They are playing JJ and CLowney out wide and Whitney is in coverage waaay too much, and he’s not good at it - at all.
I don’t dislike Clowney at all, I hope they franchise him for a couple years or someone offers us a nice trade package for him. Personally I would take Joe Staley and 2 seconds from the 49ers. That would give the 49ers a good edge player and allow them to draft Jonah Williams in the first. We’d get an instant upgrade at LT for a couple years and a couple more good picks to add to the OL and DBs. We could maybe draft Hyatt or Dillard and let them get stronger and learn pro game playing behind Staley.
