JJ Watt is thinking about re-joining the Texans for a playoff push?

This guy after raising good points on JJ coming back and then says at the end of video that many viewers asked how is his health. It stood out that he said a AZ defense coach is now playing with the Texans but also he played all games last year including sacks tackles etc so he must be doing very well health wise.

LOL, as impossibly unlikely as this would be could you imagine a jacked up JJ Watt running through the tunnel to start in our first 2024 playoff game to the surprise of everyone. They should do that just for the mental effect on the opposing team, even if he's not really going to play much. (Yes, I know they have to release rosters, but let a man dream.)
 
If Watt or any retired player wants to return to activtively playing in the NFL again
then that starts the clock again for their opportunity to be voted into the HOF, right ?

Watt over Suh all day every day and, 3 times on Sunday

Yeah. The way I was thinking about it… for six games… I’d be ok with a mean (AKA dirty) streak stopping in as opposed to giving someone 3 of those six weeks to get up to speed. I’d think we’d get more production out of Suh considering.
 
Is it of any consequence that the Texans need a DT vs a DE that only occasionally played DT? Not dissing JJ nor promoting Suh (is he even in playing shape) but before anyone is anointing Davis (DT/DE)for the spot don’t forget Agim (DT) seems to be having a good camp but there is a definite let down here until the Texans find a stopgap for the first third of the season.

Agree.
Our DLine is suddenly exposed with Autry out for 6 games.
 
How much media and fan hype would there be if #99 came riding into the building on a white horse, like some 1800’s aging sheriff who is riding back into his old town to clean the place up and bust some nuts along the way.

May as well have him wearing tights, a cape, mask and standing on his horse like a circus rider. He then could jump through a burning hoop before dismounting and circling the field in a black limo.

"Hey, hey! They call me JJ and I'm here to say I am the way to that final day! Now bring me some corn nuts or I will kick you in the .."

Could Kealia kick him a soccer ball while he's riding the horse?
 
??? So yall dont want JJ back???
Im all for JJ coming back but I think that currently it is way too early in the season....I could see him joining around mid season to get back in and tuned up for the playoff run and SB push if our current roster plays up to expectations and the talent on the roster...maybe even during our off week this year since its late in the season...gives him 2 weeks of practice before stepping back on the field to play actual football.
He seems to be in great shape and in great spirits about coming back to play for our Texans.

If we are going to sign JJ, I want him on the field for every single game if possible.

I get the sentiment, but he's been away from football for a minute now and he's up there in age when it comes to great NFL DE's...Id let him get back into the swing of things more slowly to make sure I have him available and playing in the playoffs since he seems to shine the brightest on the biggest of stages...has had some career defining moments in playoff time

I think it's kind of cheesy to have him just hop back on with the team now that "we're good."

Would I be excited? Of course. He's likely my favorite athlete ever.

But I don't think it reflects well.

I kinda feel that too. However, if he does somehow get on the field and effectively helps in a Superbowl run, I will 100% change my mind. I’d be good with15 to 20 quality snaps a game. I’d be very surprised if he actually played again though.
 
There's nothing that Watt can do that's going to change his legacy here.. it reflects nothing at all. Players come out of retirement all the time. If he comes back..ok, if he doesn't.. ok. It's his decision. If he wants a chance to play for a title I don't have a single problem with it.

There are plenty of teams that add talent right before the playoff push...whether it be due to injury or the need for an extra piece of talent at a position and the hope it gets them over the top...for example the Rams adding Odell Beckam Jr. for their SB title...thats why theres a trading period and deadline...FA's get pulled all the time and thats the reason Watt refused to sign the papers saying he's "retired" b/c it would limit his ability to come back and play.
It reflects the exact same b/c every team tries and does it every year....the point is to bring him back at a point where he is most effective and will have the most impact at a time that matters...and thats not at the beginning of a season.
 
I know! Maybe we can let the Texans players vote or they can line up on a field and yell Red Rover Red Rover does JJ want to come over?

It doesn't and I dont understand why fans want to bring these old guys back out of RETIREMENT.
 
It’s a slam dunk from the Texans side. I have zero doubt he can still play. None. Nada. JJ does nothing halfway and he was still wrecking shop last year.

But it takes two to tango, and as much as I fantasize him coming back in August…let’s face it. That isn’t happening. I’d give it maybe a 25% chance anytime in 2024, and if it does, it’s not until November most likely. I think there’s several things that all must be true, and if those factors align, he will be here. Otherwise, he won’t. That simple.

The NFL no longer uses “retirement papers”

Go ahead everyone and hope for a watt return in grand glory. Now tell me would you rather have him fill in for, WAJ or Hunter?

Come in on passing situations and move around pre-snap no one on the O-line will know who's blocking whom.
 
I envision Watt playing mostly tackle. Rushing from the inside on 3rd down. Yes he could also spell Will or Danielle here or there but 90% of the time I see him at DT.
