HOUSTON -- Houston Texans coach Bill OBrien was asked about Jadeveon Clowneys play this week, and for the first time in years the coach raved about the top overall pick in the 2014 draft.Hes playing well. He played really well (Sunday), OBrien said. He was one of our best players on our whole team.Clowney has shaken off two years of injuries to become one of Houstons most consistent players this season, and his transition to defensive end has helped the Texans absorb the loss of star J.J. Watt to injury.Clowney had a career-high four tackles for losses on Sunday to give him eight for the season, which ties his career-best and leads the NFL. While hes now listed as a defensive end, the Texans line him up in various spots on the line as well as at linebacker to keep blockers off-balance.Its been a difficult change for Clowney because playing end in a 4-3 scheme in college is vastly different than playing on the line in the NFL in Romeo Crennels 3-4 defense. At South Carolina, the 6-foot-5, 263-pound Clowney was bigger than almost anyone he had to block. But hes a bit undersized to play defensive end in the NFL, and when he lines up at tackle he faces offensive lineman that routinely weigh 60-70 pounds more than he does. This week he could have to block Colts right guard Denzelle Good, who at 355 pounds outweighs him by almost 100 pounds.But OBrien said Clowney makes up for his lack of weight in other ways.You can define size in a lot of different ways. Does he play big? He plays with a lot of explosiveness, OBrien said. Hes a very tough player. He plays with good leverage a lot of the time in certain situations. So look, does he weigh as much as some of the guys that he goes against in there? No. That could be said for a lot of different guys (but) I think hes playing at a high level.He has started every game this season, easily his longest streak in his NFL career. He didnt play more than four consecutive games in his first two seasons.Its a great feeling to be healthy and feeling good, Clowney said. Just getting better and better each week and hope I can sustain it for 16 games and keep going forward and keep getting better.Though hes piling up tackles for losses, sacks have evaded Clowney and he has just two this season. Hes hoping to add to that total this week when he faces an Indianapolis line that has allowed Andrew Luck to be sacked an NFL-high 20 times this season.You want to get in there and make plays on him and get to him, he said. We have to come with a good game plan this week, go out there and rush and try to get to him.Some had wondered if Clowney was ever going to make the kind of impact he did during a three-year career at South Carolina where he had he had 130 tackles, 24 sacks, 47 tackles for losses and 20 quarterback pressures after his first two years in the NFL. So far this season hes proven that hes capable of being a disruptive force when hes healthy, and people around the league are noticing.Hes a different guy, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. The guy is playing as good as anybody in the league right now up front. Hes playing with a ton of confidence, a ton of physicality. We know the athleticism. We know the God-given dominant traits that he has as a football player, but his motor is running and its running hot. It never stops.Though he didnt like to talk about it, fighting through the injuries and hearing all the negativity weighed on Clowney. He is much happier now. In his first two years he was almost never in the locker room when reporters were present. Now he spends much of each availability sitting at his locker chatting with people and joking with players and reporters.He beamed when told about the compliments his coach gave him this week.Its special, its good, he said. My teammates noticed. He noticed. I just have to keep playing well. They come out and say: `We need you this week every week. I have to keep playing for my teammates and keep trying to make plays for the team.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Jack Crawford Jersey . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December.

In an exciting weekend of upcoming action, Hull and Sheffield Wednesday face off for a place in the Premier League in Saturdays Sky Bet Championship showdown, while the League One final pits Barnsley and Millwall on Sunday and Mondays League Two finale sees Plymouth take on AFC Wimbledon - you can watch all games live on Sky Sports.From Dean Windass volleying home for his hometown club Hull City to Clive Mendoncas unforgettable hat-trick for Charlton, there have been some iconic play-off final moments over the years. But what have been the highlights for our TV talent? Football League analyst Ian Holloway: QPR 1-0 Derby, 2014Apart from the ones I was directly involved with, Im going to pick QPRs victory over Derby. I lost a play-off final with QPR in 2003 and to see all the Rs fans that day heartbroken was tough, so it was a real thrill for me to see them get their day in the sun at Wembley.The game itself was a bit drab until Gary ONeil got sent-off for QPR and then Derby started to knock it around. It looked only a matter of time before they struck. However, football can produce incredible moments and Bobby Zamora scored a dramatic winner from what was probably QPRs first attack since they went down to 10 men. His first touch was sublime and his second was even better - hammering it into the top corner. I leapt off of my chair and screamed the house down as there was no way coming back from that. Highlights of the 2014 Championship play-off final between QPR and Derby County Sky Sports co-commentator Don Goodman: Blackpool 3-2 Cardiff, 2010Theres been many, many, amazing play-offs over the years. The 5-5 draw between Swindon and Sheffield United in the semi-finals last season was probably the best semi-final, but the most memorable final for me was Ian Holloways Blackpool final against Cardiff. It was the first final I covered where both teams went at it and played without fear, which was totally opposite to the first few finals I commentated on. They were all tense affairs but this one was different - it was a sensational occasion. Highlights of the 2010 play-off final between Blackpool and Cardiff as Ian Holloway led the Seasiders to the Premier Leaguee Sky Sports commentator Bill Leslie: Swansea 4-2 Reading, 2011Ian Holloways Blackpool had opened it all up a year earlier which was fantastic as wed seen a few very nervy 1-0 finals previously, where the team that were less entertaining had progressed.dddddddddddd Swansea continued Blackpools theme in the final a year later with a style of football which was wonderful to watch.What will always stick with me from that game was the Swansea crowd singing Hymns of Arias with Scott Sinclair wheeling away celebrating his hat-trick - it was spine-tingling stuff. Weve had so many teams recently winning promotion that have been on the brink of extinction or financial oblivion. The story arcs that are involved with the Championship final are just tremendous. Highlights of the 2011 Championship play-off final as Brendan Rodgers Swansea beat Reading 4-2 at Wembley Sky Sports commentator Daniel Mann: Leyton Orient 2-2 Rotherham United (3-4 pens), 2013The one that springs to straight into my mind is Rotherhams win over Leyton Orient.It was the game where Steve Evans ran down the touchline celebrating - an act that needs no words!It was an unbelievable set of circumstances - Orient were 2-0 up at half-time and I remember saying on commentary: Dont you dare write Rotherham off.I genuinely felt the comeback was coming. Alex Revell - a former Orient player - led the charge. He scored one off the goalkeeper which was a bit fortuitous and then he took centre stage. He hit this ball - goodness knows how far out he was - and I almost dismissed it as very ambitious but it flew into the net. It was one of those moments that got me emotionally as you do really get into the game when youre telling the story. Ive been told the words I said on commentary were printed on t-shirts made by Rotherham fans.
