Who will have the most sacks on the Texans in 2012?

Every year people make these predictions and whats expected never turns out. Watt and Barwin will have a fantastic start to the season. After a few games all protection will shift to their side of the field. Reed is underestimated and gets more chances at the qb throughout the season and is thusly my pick. By the time the playoffs roll around mercilous will start to come on and offensive coordinators will get insomnia trying to decide whom to block. Goldie locks leads the team with 11-14 sacks. A year from now we look back on reed vs mercy like we see foster vs tate.

I see Watt as more of a 5-8 sack guy, who causes a lot of disruption and frees up the OLBs to make the plays on the QB.

With me... I'm betting Watt gets a suspension or two with all of his "late" hits. I don't know why but it seems Watt rubbed the refs wrong somewhere along the line. They were coming down hard on him down the stretch. But yeah... JJ Watt for MVP. I -love- this kid.
