The Houston Texans are now 4-5 after their 31-21 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston.
First year head coach Bill O’Brien believes that his team can turn the season around and make the playoffs.
And since they have a bye (not playing football) this week, Mr. O’Brien will focus on fixing the inconsistencies of the offense.
I think he should really focus on trying to make sure that the No.1 overall pick, Jadeveon Clowney, is committed 100% to the team.
Many have question Clowney’s committment to the game of football after he “took off” from playing very hard in his last year at the University of South Carolina.
One could say that Clowney was more concerned about making the jump to the NFL and making millions of dollars in the NFL than helping South Carolina to make another run at a potential SEC title.
And it seems like Merril Hoge’s prediction about Clowney is coming true.
Since he was drafted, Clowney has only participated in two NFL games this season due to injuries and Sunday’s game to a flu.
It might be too early to tell if Mr. Hoge was right about Clowney about being a bust, but signs of Hodge being right is there.
And according to a report by ESPN, Clowney allegedly liked a photo on Instagram during the game on Sunday.
Even though it should not be a big deal, it is a big deal because it raises questions about Clowney’s commitment to the game of football.
Reports also suggests that the Texans, who in my opinion are a first class organization, are questioning whether they made the right decision to draft Clowney.
O’Brien denies the reports about questioning the commitment of Clowney to the football team.
“Yeah, he and I…like we tweeted back and forth last night.” O’Brien said to Pro Football Talk. “I went on Spacebook, he went on Twitter…I mean, I don’t know. This guy wants to play football. He’s trying to get better to get back on the field.”
One can hope that Clowney will be ready for their next game in two weeks and be very consistent in producing for the Texans.
If he continues to struggle with staying healthy and also his supposed lack of focus on the game of football, then Mr. Hoge’s prediction about Clowney will be right on the money.

Clowney’s Commitment To The Houston Texans “Questioned”
