RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Five games into Jadeveon Clowney's tenure with Seattle, the defensive end who was supposed to help solve the Seahawks' pass rush problems has only one sack.
That might not seem like the kind of return Seattle was expecting to get when it traded for the former No. 1 overall pick before the start of the regular season. But the reviews of Clowney's performance with the Seahawks defensive line through the first third of the season are entirely positive.
"You can just feel it's coming alive," coach Pete Carroll said.
The combination of Clowney, Ziggy Ansah and the rest of Seattle's defensive linemen has yet to pop the way it was expected when the deal was made on Aug.
