I never thought I would see a better DL than Reggie White. Watt is the best to ever play that position. You Texans are fortunate to watch this guy play every week. He already has three touchdowns as a lineman, and the season is still young.

No doubt, Watt is a beast and there isn't anyone that's even a close 2nd to him.


That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Grew up watching Jack Youngblood on the rams.

JJ Watt reminds me a lot of Jackie.. Not much is going to stop him.

And of those 3 TD's, one was an interception with a long run back, one a fumble recovery for a run back, the 1st he caught while lined up as a tight end. Expect to see him throw a TD pass next, or score as a full back.

JJ Watt is the modern Howie Long, and one that knows how to play football (even Howie admitted he didn't know the game at all before he got to the NFL).

JJ reminds me of Randy White, from the great Dallas teams of the 70's. Not huge, but very fast, very strong, and lightning reflexes.

It will be interesting to see JJ Watt's production when Clowney returns. Shame Fitzpatrick is still their wheelman; though the man can put on mustache clinic when the next draft rolls around.


The only downside to Watt is his salary. Almost a $22 million hit in 2015! Good luck

Howie was who I really admired growing up. He was a straight up bad ass.


JJ Watt is a straight up bad ass.


When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Go back even farther to Deacon Jones (Merlin Olson, Lamar Lundy, Rosy Grier/Roger Brown).

Watt is very good. It is difficult to compare players from different eras, but nostalgic old reactionary that I am, I still hold Gino Marchetti up as the standard for a DE.

He should be asking for a raise.

Have you truly watched JJ?

I imagine he saw more Wisconsin games than you did....

Watt just needs to keep it up.

If he got hurt and never played again, he wouldn't be in the league of Deacon Jones or Doug Atkins, or most HOF DE's.

I'm still thinking you would enjoy watching JJ.

Just before Deacon Died. Think there's 3 others. Pretty cool.

I do. As I stated initially, he is good. I just like to remember the old days.
