Justin James Watt is officially the nfl's most overrated player

[Trip]

He was visibly limping the whole game, that facemask call was also complete bull shyt as he grabbed shoulder after making momentary contact with the helmet (legal). He had a very nice shirt tackle on Gore which was very impressive given how hard Gore is to tackle.

I hope he fully recovers, but that injury is serious. He has shown some flash. But he was getting bullied a bit last night too.

More like Clowney is a certified bust

i never got the hype around clowney
the one highlight they kept showing was the one where he went unblocked into the backfield and hit an rb
they hype is never good for defensive players and qbs

Thats a yall problem. Shoukda drafted better

No excuse for yall defense to be azz.

It's really not. We have too much invested in that side of the ball to be ass. Frank Gore out there looking like it was 2013 and shyt. These nikkas aint shyt.

And the bytch ass horsey team gone win the Division by default becuz everybody else sorry as fukk.

We might as well lay down and die and draft that young nikka from TCU or something. fukk this team. I hate them so much.

I can't wait til the Patriots smash yall bytch ass next week.

Mercilus sucks

Definitely not living up to the extension he just got

We hope so too, luckily K Jacks had his back in the endzone because when he went out into coverage on that TE that wouldve been an easy pitch/catch. Clowney looked like he had no fkn clue what he was doing off the line of scrimmage.

He just needs another year since this is essentially and extended rookie season for him. At this point he is better than Mercilus who has 4 years in the league already. Colts plain out coached the Texans again, same as last year.

The media does cyse the shyt outta JJ, but he IS a once in a generation player. His stats AND play speak for itself. Problem is he alone can't solve the issues Houston has.

Another thing the media has completely overlooked is that Wade Phillips is gone. Wade is hands down one of the greatest D Coordinators of all time. Look at what's going on in Denver....

Previous 2 years he was in Houston. You put Wade back there in Houston and I guarantee this shyt show on Defense isn't happening.

 

[FreddyCalhoun]

They passed on Teddy because the head coach did not feel he was good enough think he said it will all work out

Could have had Teddy or Carr.....lmao....I love trolling Texans Fans. They lost out on decent QB's because of Racism & "His brother was sorrry tho"....

shyt is comedy if you go on the Clutchfans forums they were defending O'Brien for skipping on teddy because he was not winning but there were some people on that forum that were bring up his stats saying he will only get better, seems to me most texans fans believe anything the media tells them about their QBs about who will be good and who will suck a lot of them dont know shyt about football.

They slurped Watt so hard that they completely forgot Justin Houston led the league in sacks.

But Watt was up there too and he had all those passes deflected and that 70 yard pick 6 from the DEFENSIVE END position . Watt is still a top 5 player. He's gettting double and triple teamed now so he's still majorly impacting the game . Most brehs won't understand that because we're all worried about fantasy

 

[BlackBall]

he's getting double teamed every play

just the way the closet homo likes it

Justin Houston and Clowney are the same height and weight.

From "Take your eyes off the ball"

The outside backers are the true glamour position in the 3-4 defense. They are the premier pass rushers in the mold of Lawrence Taylor—who revolutionized the position during his Hall of Fame career—Rickey Jackson, Andre Tippett, and Kevin Greene. Guys like Shawne Merriman, DeMarcus Ware, and Pittsburgh’s pair—LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison—are today’s prototypical 3-4 linebackers, guys with the speed to bring pressure off the edge, the strength to take on tackles, and the athleticism to drop into pass coverage. While the Patriots built their line with draft picks, they found their outside linebackers on the free-agent market—guys like Rosevelt Colvin, Mike Vrabel, and Adalius Thomas, all of whom were standout defensive ends in college. Since very few college teams play a 3-4 scheme, NFL coaches are always looking for undersized college ends with pass-rushing skills but not necessarily the big, bulky body of a traditional lineman. During individual workouts, they’ll test a prospect’s agility, have him drop into the flat, throw balls at him to judge his hands, and make sure he’s athletic enough to open his hips. If they have the requisite athleticism, many great rush ends in college will find their NFL home is at outside linebacker in a 3-4. A 3-4 defense obviously needs two inside linebackers—preferably of different types. One has to be able to play over the strong side guard. The strong inside backer ideally should be a 6'3", 250-pound thumper who can step up and engage a guard with power (think the Jets’ David Harris, who is 6'2", 245). The weak inside linebacker—the guy who lines up on the same side as the split end—can be a bit smaller because the guard on the weak side isn’t going to get out to him as much, allowing him more free space to run and hit (Exhibit A would be Baltimore’s Ray Lewis).

Job Descriptions: 4-3

Unlike the 3-4, the 4-3 front comes with little mystery. Unless a defense is in a Fire Zone blitz situation (which we’ll talk about in the next chapter), the offense knows who’s coming—the four down linemen are going to bring the heat. When they are able to get pressure on the backfield—tying up five offensive linemen with a four-man line—it’s a tremendous advantage for the defense, which now has seven guys in coverage against, at most, five receivers. You want to know what NFL teams are looking for when building a defensive line for a 4-3? Look no further than the 2009 Minnesota Vikings: Kevin Williams (6'5", 311) and Pat Williams (6'3", 317) at tackle, Jared Allen (6'6", 270) and Ray Edwards (6'5", 268) at end. Those are four guys with the size and quickness to get into the backfield and disrupt an offense.

You insist on hammering away at shyt points, @Trip

All of the big prospects coming out who produced in college and athletically project to be successful at rushing the passer in the league can play either. Randy Gregory was going to play either. Connor Barwin can play either. Houston, Mack(who actually played OLB in college and is now an end)

Why wouldn't a young Jared Allen be able to play OLB?
