If this is accurate - I would not be surprised to see JJ Watt have a type of game like Olajuwon did against David Robinson when he was passed over for MVP.Comeback player of the year: Andrew Luck
Defensive player of the year: Aaron Donald

Should be going against Juwan TaylorI expect him to have a huge game tomorrow. He should dominate.
He's getting doubled. Last year clowney really helped himIs this the beginning of the end for Watt? Has age and injuries caught up to him? Sure as hell hope not...
Watt has been doubled for years.He's getting doubled. Last year clowney really helped him
True but clowney was doubled more last year. I think he's not as good pre injury but he still should be goodWatt has been doubled for years.
Yeah, relatively.Watt is looking old and slow.
He's not looking like J.J. Watt.He's getting good pressure
Maybe. I'll wait for some analysis. They had 2.5 guys on himHe's not looking like J.J. Watt.

Bold take their cotton.I have no sympathy for "we won't be able to win for Watt" the same way I did for Andre. Andre did whatever was needed, selflessly, and I can only hope the voting committee recognizes that. IMO Watt is one of the weakest links of the defense. Instead of continuing to destroy in his most suited role (DT3-5), he proved that he could play the 'sexy' position with great stats as a talented healthy kid will scheme freedom. Injury happens, and he still wants to play the sexy position (slowly) as an easy target for double teams and chips and Shaq/Yao-esque (you cant call it every play) holding. Any time he does move inside he washes out anyone to his outside in his attempt to be a pass rusher (not a stunt, they get blanked and have to adjust). His selfishness has turned a 4 man line into 3 for years.
Watt's talent is his hands first (possibly the greatest defensive hands ever) ... reaction, read, moves and leverage. There's a reason the best defensive player in the game (Aaron Donald) is playing Watt's former position, and Watt is an injured PR stunt attempting to be a 300lb Von Miller.
Despite what the goat fvckers think, Watt while not being what he used to be is still very good. His core/back injuries have taken away his ability change directions/Bend like he used too, there's a reason Mercilus is going so well this yr and part of that is because Watt has been getting double teamed more since Clowney has left.Bold take their cotton.
Nice to see some differing unpopular opinions.
Which makes it even more stupid that we traded ClowneyDespite what the goat fvckers think, Watt while not being what he used to be is still very good.

This post didn't age well.Watt's a monster, I've not said otherwise. Where the problem lies is how he's used and the freedom he's given that stopped being viable years ago. We had a NY Giants SB type defensive line (Mercilus, Wilfork, Watt, Clowney), but were too busy trying to accommodate everyone instead of winning. If I'm wrong, tell me where - when Watt moves inside on pass rush, he attacks the tackle and the DE/LB has to adjust impossibly wide or stunt inside late - losing all contain and putting another blocker on Watt. We're still stronger at the OLB position than d-line, and Watt "not what he used to be" is still the best off the snap and his hands are still tops ... he is a DMVP defensive end abusing guards and centers. Or, he is slow off the end ... I would block him with a HB as he splits wide 9 because he cant get there like he used to (is supposed to).
Apparently not lol. I wasn't able to watch the game, but in the highlights it seemed he had more burst than we've been seeing. Still saw him wash out everyone near him by trying to go wide, and the stat line only shows the two sacks, but it appears his explosion is returning. Maybe I was the motivation that he needed ...This post didn't age well.
Dude hates the Texans as we both know. What do you expect? Lol!This post didn't age well.
Maybe you need to hate on JJ before every game. Remember when that happened to Mario Williams? His motivation thread?Apparently not lol.

Lol yeah I remember now that you mentioned it. I pretty much said my piece, but I'll come back next weekend to make some remarks just in case. Part of being a fan, doing whatever strange things it takes to help your team win.Maybe you need to hate on JJ before every game. Remember when that happened to Mario Williams? His motivation thread?
Watt had a great game. And you did your job.Well, it was working, and then ...
Guess I won't be posting here next week.
There was a time when JJ Watt was alone on this category. Now 2x DMVP Aaron Donald is the interior lineman of note - this graphic being only one part of his dominance. Donald is an absolute monster in all facets, but he's no JJ Watt ... except when JJ Watt is focused only on pass rush. JJ Watt used to be "game wrecker" inside, affecting every play - moving outside when necessary. I'm exceptionally frustrated that he could again be the DMVP, but while a couple sacks and outside pressure are fantastic, Watt because of being a 300lb DT playing wide rush, is never going to be the greatest again. If he was working inside from the 3 or 5 technique and trusted guys like Mercilus to draw out double teams and RB protection, those hands would once again swim into a record amount of pressures and do MUCH more to influence games. Even injured, Watt is probably the most talented defensive lineman the game's ever seen ... and it's going to waste trying to be the 'only one' instead of allowing his teammates to do their jobs making him 'the one'.
Isn't there a Patriots game you should be watching? As per usual you enjoy coming at me (and everyone else) without reading the posts. I've said over and over that I think JJ Watt is the best defensive player in football, but he's not BEING the best defensive player in football. My drunk books are why I think he isn't, and how I think he could return to being so.Got to be pretty pathetic when one goes way out of their way to simply hate JJ Watt this much.
Watt is still one of the game's best players and a team leader.
You go out of your way and reach extremely hard to bash players on the Texans. There's a huge difference in making a few observations and going out of your way to find things to complain about. It's pretty obvious. Pats had a pretty solid game today as well.Isn't there a Patriots game you should be watching? As per usual you enjoy coming at me (and everyone else) without reading the posts.

I have never been so concerned for a player to get hurt when playing. I know he is a multimillionaire and knows the consent of his choices, but damn that was scary.I honestly thought it was going to be a bad idea for him to play. Man was I wrong. After that sack, the momentum shifted in our favor.
