I thought about that, too!

But I'd would rather we control the clock for extended period of time.
Just grind it out. Keep moving the chain.

I know people don't want to hear it, but the O-lineman in this story is right...They have seen every kind of front imaginable trying to stop AD & he's still been able to beast.

BUT.......................not every team they've faced has a player comparable to what Watt brings to the table. except the 9ers & i don't know what AD had against them but i do know they won.

LOL..I know JJ looks for motivation to play better. He keeps videos of all the fans trashing him when he got drafted. Now he has extra motivation, I don't think they will run at him for very long. My money says they rethink that strategy real quick. We will see I guess.

Also, calling out JJ Watt???? Calling out Arian Foster???? I mean, I guess at least nobody called out Andre too lol....

I'd almost rather see the explosive Texans O. Go up big and force them away from the run. My only concern would be to give the D a break now and again.

I hope this pisses Watt off. Would be bad ass to break the sack record, and take AP down for a couple TFL's.

AD is due for a little cooling period.

He can have all his yards next week.

1st play out the gate....

Yeah, but quite a few of Ad's big runs were due to his own talent and the Defense missing tackles (not due to the line play, even though I give them enough of the credit they deserve.)

Our offense would help us greatly if they could get an early lead forcing the Vikings to take a few more chances in the passing game. Unless their defense holds us under 20 points, I don't see us losing this game.

Haha wasn't saying it to wish injury on the guy, just meant Watt is a beast by that. I played against AP is high school so I a happy to see his succed.

The Leroy Harris comparisons are just dumb. Last I checked, saying a guy is "Special" (as Fusco did) is not the same thing as saying the guy is "Not anything special" (as Harris did).

Inflammatory? Maybe a little, but even that aspect of this is overrated IMO.

Granted it's different, but saying running the ball down his throat can be seen as worse.

At least, Harris admitted them two plays.

Running the ball down your throat is an entirely different matter.
It means that I own you.

How can you read it any differently?

[76Texan]

Yeah, you're very special, and I'm gonna run the ball down your throat.

I do agree and don't have a problem with it. He can put up 180 yards as long as none of them get in the End Zone.

Remember CJs "coming out" game was against us. 150 yards of useless time wasting.

[Double Barrel]

We should make a deal with the Vikings. We'll let Peterson have 150 yards if you let JJ have 3 sacks.

Common to run right at a team's best lineman. It worked against Mario because his first step was so quick it he took himself out of plays.

But J.J. ain't no one-trick pony. I expect AP to get his. I expect J.J. to get some, too.

[Wolf6151]

We shouldn't be worried about Watt and the Vikings running right at him. We should be worried about Cody and the Vikings running right at him. Cody got pushed around far to much by single blockers in the Colts game. Cody needs to be able to hold the LOS and our ILB's need to be able to step up and stop the run. We're weak at both NT and ILB, and both positions will be exposed by the Vikings.

"He's special. Probably the best we're going to see. But we're ready to get after him. It's a fun challenge for us. Go out there, be physical with him and do what we like to do best: run the football right down his throat, basically."

Peterson's 6.3-yard-per-carry average emboldens such confidence, as the Vikings have averaged 29 running plays per game. The Texans have seen that kind of ground commitment from opponents only twice this season.
But Houston's dynamic 3-4 defensive front is unlike any the Vikings have seen in terms of speed, pressure and mayhem.

Yeah?

I'd like to see that!

"only got one thing to say about this...

FEED ME MORE! FEED ME MORE! FEED ME MORE!"

'Run the football down his throat'

I think the Vikes think Watt is just a pass rusher when they made that remarks. You only say that to a guy if he's one dimensional. I guess they don't realize Watt along with Wilfork and Justin Smith is one of the best run stopper in football.
That's okay. Let them think that and enjoy it blow up in their face.

This...... I want to see Peterson on the sideline with his helmet waiting to get in the game... ala Ricky Williams.
