Not sure how effective he would be coming off a torn pec.  Texans pass rush is middle of the road.  Bills pass blocking is middle of the road.  Texans rush D is not that good.  Look for a ball control run heavy scheme to keep Watson and Hopkins off the field for long stretches against the Texans

I would imagine that he'll see time in pass rush only situations.

We did fine against Pittsburgh, I don't anticipate issues.

I'd rather see Watt return than Fuller

[atlbillsfan1975]

Interesting to see what he can do. When he had the back injury a few years ago he looked totally different later in the year standing on the sideline. His entire body was shrunk. I think he was watching the Pats game that year and the camera kept showing him.

I don't see why this is a comparison. Pittsburgh is carried by their D, Texans are not by any stretch.

Because people are scared of an old, broken-down guy who's played like 6 games in the past two years.

 

Because people here like to be scared of things.

Like I said in the other thread, 2 months after a torn pec muscle...good luck.

[Tesla03]

Hopefully he has zero impact

 

with the way our oline has been playing vs the pats and ravens it’s a scary thought to see Watt vs Cody Ford

That's the whole point.  Texans D is not good...even with Watt. He isn't the same player anymore after all the injuries.

Watt last 4 years:

32 games played 21.5 sacks

Hughes last 4 years:

63 games played 21.5 sacks. 

 

Or most people here are clueless. If Watt plays he will be best D lineman on field.

How about apples to apples, past TWO years?

 

No?

 

Since that was the substantive point.

Stand corrected. Still not concerned.

 

Not in the least.

For how long?  He's damaged goods.  The guy has more steroids pumping through his veins than actual blood.  He's deteriorating.

Link? There has never been a report of Watt using PED's.

Our run blocking stinks largely in part because no one is scared by JA and they put more hats on us and we end up being outnumbered.
