Not enough tape on Watt to be a R1 pick.

Remember the "TJ is overrated and overdrafted because of his brother's accomplishments" crowd?

I had my doubts about Watt when we first drafted him. I didn't know much about him so I went and look at his highlight reel. I remember posted in threads that I really liked his motor, but my two complaints were that he didn't seem to have NFL quickness and he didn't have the strength to push past Tackles with good mechanics. The first one I got over pretty quick after watching him play a couple of games. His college tape just wasn't telling the truth. It happens. It's why they send scouts and view multiple games rather than just a few highlights. Once that one was put to rest, I was comfortable because strength, he could gain and he has the work ethic to do so.

TJ was a scary pick on draft night because he had only limited experience as a rush LB. AND because the need at that position was huge. So far so good I would say. TJ Watt has been a tremendous OLB and worthy of the first round pick, IMO. We have done much worse after all.

I don't really think that would be a valid argument. Eli and Peyton are both great QBs, and there were the Colquitt brothers (punters) or those Cromartie-guys (mostly CBs). The third Watt brother, Derek, for some reason plays FB so we don't know whether he would be a good pass rusher.

I had my doubts about Watt when he was drafted. Not because of his talents but I just felt like he didn’t fit in. After seeing him play and interacting with the other kids, I feel like he’s turned into a popular kid...lol.

He's definitely running with the cool kids on the playground.

T.J. is our first outside linebacker to have 10 sacks in a season since James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley both did it in 2010.

[polamalubeast]

[Fire Goodell]

But were they all dong sacks?

[polamalubeast]

[pczach]

You mean he has more than James Harrison?

That seems impossible the way some people rip young players around here. I guess Harrison didn't get any dong sacks.

That is exactly why Tomlin was so stupid for starting TJ Watt as a rookie.


Dumb, DUMB, DUMB!!!

But rookies should have to earn their spots, not just be handed positions based on draft status. Also option years and extensions should be earned by a multi-season track record of achievement on the field.

I see nothing wrong with mutually opposed goals!

[Fire Goodell]

If Tomlin started Harrison last year, he'd have 18 sacks right now!!!

Uh... but... stop whining!!!

If Watt and Dupree weren't so lazy and actually got in the weight room and worked they'd each have 3 sacks per game. Like real men.

I blame Roger Goodell. It is why I don't watch any other NFL games and only watch every other series of Steelers games.

Plus, then all my opinions are hot fire!

Coming from such a respected football mind as Ozzie "Teegre" Newsome, I'll take it.

We all know why you're back in school. Need a J-O-B.

And that's why I don't watch any college football or know anything about players coming out in the draft. Because it makes it easier to say all the new players are worthless and lazy and celebrate too much.....and don't get any sacks on their own.

[teegre]

.....and don't get any sacks on their own.

TWatt sacks!!!

[DesertSteel]

TJ is tied for the AFC lead in sacks with his brother JJ.

What a draft that is turning into!

What a draft that is turning into!

If Artie Burns ever got out of his head, the 2016 draft would be right alongside 2017 as a great draft.

[polamalubeast]

[Steeldude]

That Dupree is a powerhouse. They need to sign him to a 5 year $75 million contract.

Why isn't Burns starting? He needs to develop, right? Bench Haden or deactivate him. It's not about the team putting the best players on the field. You need to develop lesser players. Right? ��
