Clowney, sadly, is entering official bust zone, due to his injuries. Stinks.
As for Watt, he played better last season without Clowney, and has been routinely doubled and sometimes tripled, so I'm not sure how much Clowney's absence affect him on Sunday.
I think this defense overall, including Watt, just got a little too heady thinking they were better than they were. There's talent on the defense for sure, maybe less so at safety and linebacker, but I still believe there's a good D in there somewhere if these guys just stay in their lane and fulfill their roles. Playing the Jags is a good opportunity to start getting back on track.
