That looks like it's good but I have no idea what WPA and EPA is.
So Watt is more valuable to his team's win total than anyone else listed on that chart. In fact, he's the Most Valuable Player on that chart. By a lot.
Texans defensive end J.J. Watt was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for the fourth time in his career and second time this season after leading Houston to a 23-7 victory over Cleveland in Week 11.
Watt starred on defense and recorded a strip-sack of Browns QB Brian Hoyer, his league-leading fourth fumble recovery of the season at the Houston 22-yard line in the second quarter, a season-best tying three tackles for loss and five tackles. Watt now has seven career games with at least one sack and one fumble recovery.
Watts impact was felt on the offensive side of the ball when he hauled in a 2-yard touchdown reception, his second receiving touchdown of the year and fourth touchdown overall. Watt is the first defensive lineman since 1948 to have four touchdowns in a season. New York Giants DE Ray Poole and Los Angeles Rams DE Jack Zilly both had four overall touchdowns in 1948.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Watt became the first player since Chicago Bears DB J.C. Caroline in 1956 to score multiple touchdowns on offense and defense in the same season...
I hope he doesn't start passing.
At the risk of bringing the wrath of the board on my head, has anyone considered that he roughed the punter (twice!) in an effort just to check off Blocked Punt on this year's growing list of accomplishments? Maybe just a little bit too much stat sheet watching?
I am now going to Stop, Drop, and Roll.
that was a kinda a cheap shot on Met and I'm ok with that. Wish every time Watt made a good play on defense the crowd would yell, "SHUT YOU DOWWWWN!!!!".
Their is an undertone from the media and Titans staff that suggests JJ was dirty on that play. If they watch the replay they would see JJ was on his knee the whole time while Mettenberger was down, looking like a concern parent about the condition of their kid. That suggests the compassionate nature of this beast of a man.I just saw some postgame interview with Watt and he got a little testy with John McClain and one other reporter about the hit on Mett.
Now I love the guy even more.
Why do they throw to JJW, when they have tight ends? That is a slap in the face to the receivers. Those guys get bonus bucks for touchdown receptions and JJW is stealing their money. The 85 Bears threw a pass to refrigerator William Perry once and only once. This is an insult and Watts needs to get off the "me,me,me" show.
The coaches call the plays, not the players. The coaching staff knows that Watt is up for MVP this year, along with another defensive MVP. They are helping his cause, something of which I don't have a problem with.

I'm willing to bet if you'd ask any player/personnel in the organization they'd tell you Watt is all about the team first mentality.
As for the rest of your post...lol. Sounds like Watt stole your woman
This. Not to mention if it's a slap in the face to receivers and TEs maybe they should up their game. I'll start complaining when JJ starts dropping those passes. The last 2 TD grabs JJ had weren't exactly give me's and our tight ends and receivers (excluding Hopkins yesterday) have had bouts with drops quite often.
Well, to be fair, Watt could probably steal anyone's woman right about now and no one have a problem with it.

I don't know why opposing teams are sleeping on Watt but they have been. So be it. It isn't his fault. It may be working just because the QBs focus on him instead of over thinking with the normal targets. AJ got that TD yesterday doing nothing he hasn't done a million times before other than having the QB say f'k it and letting him make the play.

They aren't sleeping on him, there was tight coverage for his last 2 receiving td's. They just can't stop him
Maybe I am not remembering correctly, but the TD before this one he had double coverage with one guy draped all over him and he caught it anyways. This one had pretty tight coverage too, but Fitz put it in a good spot for him. Did I just see it wrong?
He has run unimpeded routes. Not knocking the throws or catches.
But my 2nd point was the main one. The QBs stay focused on getting him the ball. He hasn't done anything special but they pull the trigger.
Which upcoming opponent is your real team? They throw to JJ because he CATCHES the ball, something the rest of our TE cast seems unable to do half the time.Why do they throw to JJW, when they have tight ends?

That is the key right there...
If they would pull the trigger for AJ and trust him to make a play, he would have averaged about 20 td's a season
I am confused a bit; why would QB's focus on him and pull the trigger for him in coverage as opposed to Hopkins or Andre. Is it because they run routes unimpeded or is it because Watt is bigger or gets open better in goal line situations?
Which goes back to my question to infantry, why would they trust Watt over Andre? There has to be more than just that. Andre has never, ever had double digit TD's in his career, long before Watt joined the crew. If Andre was a TD target, I imagine they would use him over Watt no?
Cuz Watt is a 6'5" 300lb monster that told them to "throw me the damn ball"

Because when you put in a special play "for him" regardless of who he is QBs tend to go with it.
AJ did nothing special on the TD yesterday. The only difference was the ball actually came his way. For some reason we have always been plagued by a coaching/QBing philosophy of letting AJ pull coverage in the end zone instead of make plays. Other teams are if in doubt go to your star and let him make a play.
