    The Texans were coy about it during the week, but they wound up going ahead and starting 2014’s first overall pick Jadeveon Clowney against the Cardinals on Saturday night.

    Clowney’s first taste of NFL action gave us our first look at him as a linebacker dropping into pass coverage. It was a mixed bag for Clowney, who wrapped up Andre Ellington after a short completion before getting beaten by tight end John Carlson for a touchdown that wound up being called back because of an Arizona penalty. All in all, his work in coverage was about what you’d expect from a player performing a role for the first time.

    I know it is only preseason and you don't game plan but they got skull drug all over the place. From what i have gathered, his start was very disappointing.
