The Cowboys entered the Week 3 contest as a 1.5-road favorite versus the Bears, per DraftKings. Clowney is looking forward to focusing on rushing the passer rather than dropping in coverage as the star did with the Carolina Panthers.
“I go forward,” Clowney explained to DallasCowboys.com during a September 15, interview. “Last year, I did a lot of dropping, and that’s not my strong suit — covering.
“I mean, of course not. When you’re big, you go forward. When I came here, [defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus] said, ‘You probably won’t drop [any].’ I was like, “Oh, my God, I’m looking forward to that.’ I get to go forward a lot more than I did last year, so I’m looking forward to just rushing the passer.”
Clowney could finally make his Dallas debut as the Cowboys take on Parsons and the Packers in Week 4.
