Mingo got a running into the kicker penalty that was declined.How did the two new LBs from Seattle do today?
“Really? That’s it?”Mingo got a running into the kicker penalty that was declined.
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.

A 5 man offensive line can double two players in most situations. It's not about doubling Jj or Whitney. It's about the third man.Give it a few more games and teams will start doubling Mercilus.
But teams are still doubling wattOmenihu 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”
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.But teams are still doubling watt

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.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.

Watt at this stage of his career is strictly a LDE .. to take advantage of the supposed easier matchup with a RT vs a LT. He does not have the lateral explosion and foot quickness to jump around the line like he once did .. it was the benefit of keeping JDC since he was taking up most of the double teams - to harken back to what @TheKDog said Watt last year WAS double teamed about 25-30% of the time, JDC was doubled even more than that if I recall. THIS YEAR without a dynamic player on the front 7 to take away some of the attention the offense can focus on Watt exclusively and they will know rather early how much help the RT will need if any. I didn't mean to make a blanket statement that JJ doesn't get doubled at all anymore, its more of a talent argument. Good RTs will do well against JJ.Romeo doesn't seem to move Watt around for easier matchup as much in previous seasons.

Check out CnD's posts on this subject.I haven't heard that but I can see it.
Omenihu should have his role increased if he keeps this up...HOOKEM!:Pff top rookies for week 2.

Patdstat said they tried to extend him all last yearMcClain said Houston is in talks with Reader on a extension
"tried to extend him all last year" = lowball offersPatdstat 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
Capspace reality. Need to extend Watson and Tunsil. Mercilus, Roby, Joseph, Hyde , and fells need to be resigned or replaced as well. $87m available for 2020."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
I just couldn't believe it. Had to read it twice. That's QB hits. Not sacks. 3 QB hits after 3 games.Maybe they're competing with Miami for the number one pick. lol
Think it was gameplan specific with CMC running the ball so much and Martin not being as good a run defender.@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.
Huh?Pff edge rusher ranks, with van noy #1, watt #7 and clowney #9
@mattdolloff: @PFF The rest of the top-10 at edge defender:
Khalil Mack
Brandon Graham
Ronald Blair
Danielle Hunter
Joey Bosa
J.J. Watt
T.J. Watt
Jadeveon Clowney
