TJ Watt Named AFC Defensive Player of the Month

[86WARD]

[86WARD]

No brainer. Well deserved.

[st33lersguy]

Dude is a beast!

[DesertSteel]

I'll be wearing my #90 jersey in the Cardinal's stadium this Sunday!

Dong award. Pay Dupree instead.

[HollywoodSteel]

Less than 3 years in the league and TJ is tied with Clark Haggins for 11th all time Steelers sack leader. Barring injury, TJ is on his way to becoming our best pass rusher ever. He’s only going to get better...

Unless of course he’s faking being good until he can cash in on that first big contract, like Bud Dupree is supposedly doing.

[pczach]

If he can avoid serious injury, he is going to be a force for many years.

He's everything you want in a player.

Yep. Hopefully he proves to be more durable than his brother JJ

Sign me up for three Defensive Player of the Year awards like his big brother.

Absolutely. But I still really hope he avoids those season ending injuries that his brother has suffered. We are going to come to depend on him to make this defense hum. Losing him for the year will be catastrophic.

You have to give the Texans credit for being able to keep winning without JJ and Clowney.

Way back when JJ was always the guy I wanted to have on our team when people asked which player you would most want on our team. I am not a draft expert but I couldn't believe both the cowboys and packers didn't take him. Cowboys got a Taco and we got TJ!!! Unfreakiing believable!!! Is Taco even playing any more???

Emphasizing “force” and “everything.”

He was who I wanted in the draft with our first pick. Couldn't believe he drop that far to the Steelers. In my head when the pick was in. I'm like okay Steelers don't F this one up. I actually had a tiny tear hearing his name being announce!

The tiniest of tears?

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

The tiniest of tears?

Yes it was tiny and think it moved after they drafted him.

[teegre]

He still shouldn’t have started as a rookie...

[DesertSteel]

Yes it was tiny and think it moved after they drafted him.

That’s the rule.

I'm right there with ya. I always coveted JJ wanting to see him in the Black and Gold. Now we have one too and it's certainly not a disappointment. I just hope he doesn't pull a groin muscle with that sack celebration. lol

Yep, he may have to stop doing that after his fourth or fifth season.
