He was a total non factor tonight. The one highlight ESPN could find showed him forcing the QB to roll left to complete a 7 yd pass. Dominating!!!

To say he was a non factor indicates to me you didn't watch the game. He pressured the qb multiple times and split several double teams to get into the backfield. Not concerned that hes performance doesn't pop off of the stat sheet. If he had gone out and gotten 3 sacks people would have complained that he didn't force a fumble because of all the hype ESPN has built up.

That said he should have played more and he did look tired out there.

Saying something like this makes me think that you are just ignorant of how football works. (probably only what you could see from the marching bands seats) I will give you a quick breakdown.

Football is 11 vs 11. When you force the other team to commit 2-3 guys a play to stop you, the game becomes 8-9 vs 11. Clowney did just that all night.
Was he tired? He sure looked it.

Why? Let's examine shall we? The first quarter he spent going 110% on every play chasing RB's sideline to sideline and running screen plays down from behind. That would gas out a lot of people, even a trombone player like yourself.
Trying to live up to the God status that the media has placed on him seems to have made him wear himself early in a hot and muggy game. He still managed to disrupt the offense all night he just didn't eat unc players souls like he was advertised to do.
I will say he has handled all the media pressure much better than that other guy they keep discussing in the news not named Hernandez.
