I know there were some questions regarding Clowney pre-draft but I sure as hell can't remember what they were anymore.

Who's the nickel corner going to be?
Bouye looks good. And the mistake/high draft pick guys he's competing with are not O'Brien guys so he should get a fair shake.

And yes, tons of positives. I am nearly as happy about this one as I was disappointed by last week. We look like the big, physical team that O'Brien's first draft indicated we would be. And we are playing ST and running the ball in the way you need to if you are going to win with defense. And with all the positives, I don't think Watt played, and Clowney only played a bit. I am almost giddy about watching 4 quarters of those guys. Is it possible Clowney could be better than the hype from 18 months ago? He sure seems to work hard and love football in ways that make the questions about him seem silly.
