Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
I've seen him swat double teams like flies. I wouldn't be surprised if Wade has found his strong, quick NT..............and he's SMALL too!!Wade said at the draft party that Watt will play situational nose when it's obvious passing downs. Said Mario may be a rush linebacker at times as well.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/fb/texansfront/7542051.htmlJJ Watt said:"Everybody here tells me my job will be to help sack Peyton Manning," Watt said about the Indianapolis quarterback. "It's a great day to be a Texan. I can't wait to get there and start learning the defense.
"I'm happy to play outside or inside. I always give 100 percent because I think you're doing the game a disservice if you don't."
Patriots are going to steal himCameron Jordan is still on board. I knew he was over rated.
Might rub off on Mario....I guess this pick is growing on me. At first it was meh but now it looks to be a good solid pick.
I mean it never hurts to have guys with a non-stop motor. We always talk about we need emotion and toughness on our defense, well this guy looks the part. The more Cushing/Ryans type of players we get on this team the better.
I don't give a two shits if he never gets a single sack so long as he collapses the pocket and gets lots of pressure on the QB on a consistant basis.Marcus Spears has been Dallas' best DE for the last 6 years. He has 8 sacks total.
This is exactly what I was thinking but I didn't want to start up some Mario debate. I also realize he was also hurt last year which may explain his disappearances at times.Might rub off on Mario....
Yeah no crap. I guess Tkiss never heard of a guy that took over the majority of the sacks for the Dallas Cowboys by the name of Demarcus Ware.I don't give a two shits if he never gets a single sack so long as he collapses the pocket and gets lots of pressure on the QB on a consistant basis.
He is saying sacks aren't everything when playing a 3-4 DE. Don't need sacks as a 3-4 DE to be dominate, just need to be dominate period and Watt can be that type of player. Defiantly has the motor and desire to do so.Not sure I understand what your saying.
J.J. Watt is one of the best athletes in the entire draft. How the heck does he have a "low ceiling"?Low-ceiling, safe-pick that can contribute tomorrow. KJack V.2?
This I understand very well.He is saying sacks aren't everything when playing a 3-4 DE. Don't need sacks as a 3-4 DE to be dominate, just need to be dominate period and Watt can be that type of player. Defiantly has the motor and desire to do so.
Wow, reading comprehension is non-existent with this one. Read the quote again goober.J.J. Watt is one of the best athletes in the entire draft. How the heck does he have a "low ceiling"?
I love the pick. Now we need to back up that back 7 in round 2.
People are just saying that because he is white. Same thing goes for Kerrigan and Reed. Their measurables are just as good as some of the so called elite athletes at their positions. Because they are white they get tagged as "high effort" players.J.J. Watt is one of the best athletes in the entire draft. How the heck does he have a "low ceiling"?
I love the pick. Now we need to back up that back 7 in round 2.
I understand that. But that was the conversation.We weren't a 3-4 D when the Mario pick was made. They had already announced conversion to 4-3.
I'm saying the value of a 3-4 DE is not #1 overall or #11 overall.Not sure I understand what your saying.
I'm having problems with my animated gif comprehension. WT?Wow, reading comprehension is non-existent with this one. Read the quote again goober.

How does he have a reading comprehension problem. Me thinks you have a writing comprehension problem.Low-ceiling, safe-pick that can contribute tomorrow. KJack V.2?
Well if ever have a game that comes down to your white players jumping over really tall boxes we are aces with Cushing and Watt..
Since I started studying the draft, this is the first time the Texans have picked my guy.
Say bye bye to Mario Williams.
Hagar are you drunk already? lolSince I started studying the draft, this is the first time the Texans have picked my guy.
Say bye bye to Mario Williams.
Thank you, but no that is not at all what I am saying.He is saying sacks aren't everything when playing a 3-4 DE. Don't need sacks as a 3-4 DE to be dominate, just need to be dominate period and Watt can be that type of player. Defiantly has the motor and desire to do so.
We play a 1 gap 3/4 where the DE's are expected to penetrate, not take up blocks like most 3/4's.Thank you, but no that is not at all what I am saying.
If we were playing in the 4-3 & we needed a pass rusher opposite Mario this would make sense.
This is one pick outside of the top ten. This should be an impact player. Most DEs hate converting to a 3-4, because DE is not an impact position.
People were concerned that Mario would be upset about switching to a 3-4. They are saying Antonio Smith is not happy about playing in a 3-4, even though he has no problem sliding inside in a 4-3.
4-3 DE, impact player. 3-4 DE...... not.
It's like Tackles wanting to play LT, not RT. Or corners wanting to play corner, & not safety.
Keep dreaming.i hope this means that we go after ASO in free agents
Kinda like they did in Dallas?We play a 1 gap 3/4 where the DE's are expected to penetrate, not take up blocks like most 3/4's.
i hope this means that we go after ASO in free agents
Not sure if he was just making a quib, due to us passing on one of the top CB in the draft...jerrymcd said:Houston taking JJ Watt instead of Amukamara means they're preparing gigantic offer for Nnamdi Asomugha
Its just a gut feeling, y'all, but given Mario's salary and the fact that he's complained already, I think he get traded.I have been preaching this for awhile. Both Mario and Smith have both expressed concern about playing in a 3/4. I could see one or both of them pouting and causing problems if they dont get off to a good start. Smith is the more likely to stir the pot IMO.
Hell maybe one of them already has and that is why we drafted Watt. If we draft another 5 I guess that will answer that question.
I'm not drunk, I'm drinkin ~ Wild Cherry flavor.Hagar are you drunk already? lol
If we find a way to trade Mario & Smith to who ever signs Aso, then this might make sense.I see Antonio Smith as the one being gone. He bitched about being in the 3-4 the day Phillips was hired. I just don't think he fits.
Unless they see their OLB later in the draft. There are some guys later in the draft that can rush the passer.If Mario is going to play some OLB then I understand the JJ Watt pick.
He's got a pretty good sized salary too.I see Antonio Smith as the one being gone. He bitched about being in the 3-4 the day Phillips was hired. I just don't think he fits.
Can't trade players during this draft because of the CBA issues. You can only trade for picks.He's got a pretty good sized salary too.
I wouldn't mind a trade for picks or possibly an experienced CB or FS.
Don't be surprised.Keep dreaming.
So you think a current DE will be traded? If so then who?Unless they see their OLB later in the draft. There are some guys later in the draft that can rush the passer.
About what?Don't be surprised.
Probably Smith. Or they might just use them all in rotation.So you think a current DE will be traded? If so then who?
I quoted you first...tag...you're it!About what?
Gotta play with what you got. Neither of those guys are as talented as Mario or Watt. Watt will play in the middle on passing downs and make a difference you just watch.Kinda like they did in Dallas?
or San Diego?
Marcus Spears. 8 sacks. 6 seasons.
Igor Olshansky. 12.5 sacks in 7 seasons (playing for Wade for most, if not all of it).
