Merci is already enjoying stepping into Clowneys shoes. I expect he will have a career year and enjoy the spoils of having JJ absorb the bulk of the pressure.No Clowney? No problem. JJ Watt and Whitney Mercilus were terrors on the edge, each notching a number of pressures on the quarterback. Mercilus’ strip-sack recovered by Watt led directly to Houston’s game-winning touchdown.

He is looking good - just like a pro should.
I expect we will see more stats for Reader too as the season wears on.
Can you double two? Has to make holes elsewhere.Give it a few more games and teams will start doubling Mercilus.

Omenihu will be a good edge player, teams don’t need to double Watt anymore, Mercilus is finally able to play his natural style and limit the drop backs he was doing last year.
Interior guys are getting no push.
“Still early”
But teams are still doubling watt
Infrequently. He has manhandled by Ryan Ramczyk game 1 causing the worst game of his career. It was nice to see him bounce back against JAX, but again if you break down the tape you will see that more and more teams are not committing the players they once did to stop Watt.
Romeo doesn't seem to move Watt around for easier matchup as much in previous seasons.
This can be beneficial to the offense knowing where he is always going to be.
I would like to see him inside more can't chip him there. Plus double team to the inside should give more 1 on 1 for Mercilus.

I thought that Watt had the power to basically move himself wherever he wanted? Was that not the case, is it not the case any more or is Watt just not moving? If he is at the same spot every time then yeah all other teams have to do is shore up that spot and they can keep him mostly contained.
I haven't heard that but I can see it.I thought it was harder on his back to move him inside

McClain said Houston is in talks with Reader on a extension
Patdstat said they tried to extend him all last year
I hope he doesn’t end up in Seattle with Clowney and Brown."tried to extend him all last year" = lowball offers

Tweet from @Brickwallblitz: TOTAL QB HITS PRODUCED THROUGH WEEK 3:
DEN: 3
Maybe they're competing with Miami for the number one pick. lol

@riversmccown: Week 3 EDGE snaps:
Omenihu 32
Jacob Martin 17
Brennan Scarlett 15
Carlos Watkins inactive
Week 4 EDGE snaps:
Watkins 26
Scarlett 23
Martin 4
Omeinhu inactive
Odd decrease for Martin. Big increase for Scarlett. Assume Omenihu still takes most of the snaps if healthy this week.
