he looked like crap vs osu, I'll give you that. But he handled Clowney just fine. The dude's the best defensive player in the country and he had 4 tackles. One coming on a missed assignment. Hardly the ass beating you're making it out to be.

Actually, I thought he did a pretty decent job on him most of the game.

This is what Lewan said about the play.

"The end lined up on me in such a gray area that I had to call a Deuce to the inside," Lewan said. Lewan explained that a Deuce call ties the tackle to the guard, and their responsibilities are the lineman nearest the guard and the backside linebacker. By making the Deuce call, Lewan had untied himself from tight end Mike Kwiatkowski, who had anticipated working in tandem with Lewan on the play. Lewan said Kwiatkowski didn't hear the Deuce call, and video replays make that quite obvious. Kwiatkowski fired off the line at an angle that would have been perfect had he and Lewan been working a combo block. But Lewan was working a combo block with guard Ricky Barnum. Clowney, the owner of one of college football's quickest first steps, shot the gap before Kwiatkowski could realize what happened. "He's got that little slip move," Spurrier said. "When they come at him, they get nothing but air." Smith never had a chance. "That miscommunication," Lewan said. "Those are the plays that can lose games."

end of the day, Clowney said Lewan was the best tackle he'd played against, ever. That's high praise right there, and good enough for me to know he played a great game.

Lotta talk on the interwebs and on Mike and Mike this morning about the potential for Mr. Clowney to sit out his junior year, train for the combine and protect himself from injury.

They had Bill Polian on and asked "if you could draft him this year, where would you take him?"
"Top Five"
"And after a year of sitting out and training?"
"Top Five"

Interesting. Kid obviously has a tremendous future ahead of him.

That is interesting--I've never seen anything like it. You'd think, though, that he could protect himself with an insurance policy as countless other top-end prospects have done to hedge against the injury nightmare scenario.

I'm not sure he can buy a policy that would cover what he stands to earn in his first 5 years in the NFL. I will admit that I have no expertise on those type of policies. All I remember is the old Lloyds of London policies that athletes used to purchase.

I'm sure he could, but the cost of such a policy might be cost prohibitive. It would be a hell of a lot cheaper to spend a year training for the combine and then still being the #1 pick in the draft.
