Let's not overlook that watt had an interception also
Nobodys overlooking watt dude. But if the steelers had the #1 pick do u honestly think garett would not be a steeler? Ofc he would be

Watt tested about on par with Garrett physically and he was not injury prone
Ummm... no.
Height, 40 time and splits, and standing broad jump were comparable... and TJ actually edged Myles in the 10-yd split (1.59 to 1.64). Everything else is heavily in Myles' favor...
And everything equals: bench (33-21), vertical (41-37) and 3-cone (4.57-4.76). Plus there's weight (272-252) and arm-length (35.25-33.125).
Injury-wise TJ appeared in all of 22 games at Wisconsin and only started his final year. So I have no idea on his injury history... and neither do you. But we know Garrett's... 3-year starter... 34 games... missed one start.
Data's a bitch ain't it?
The rookie also performed well against Joe Thomas...once hip flipping Thomas to the turf.
So you're saying TJ held Joe... I'll look for that when I grade our OL.
Ummm... no.

myles 2016 season was plagued with an ankle injury that limited his production, myles had an unknown injury at the beginning of training camp and another ankle tweak mid preseason and another injury that is making him sit out for the next month. tj has had double knee surgery in his playing career and nothing since.
Myles is injury prone but has the physical skills and talent to overcome that in college, Not so much in the nfl. That is the current perception and is true UNTIL proven otherwise.
As to their physical traits being vastly different i refer to the fact both athletes are top 5 percentile edge rushers in the nfl currently. Myles with a Sparq of 149.3 and TJ with a Sparq of 142.0, Mathmatically a less than 5% difference. I'll also point out that they play different positions Linebacker and DE, Am I suggesting we screwed up by not taking TJ at #1 overall? Hell no! Myles has a ton of potential if he can catch a break and shake the injury bug. Am i suggusting we may have made a mistake not taking him at #27 rather than Njoku? Probably

So? Trubisky then?

Probably a better reply than I deserved, but I don't speak "sparq"...
Position-wise... one is a 4-3 DE and the other a 3-4 LB. Watt may have the chops to play in a 4-3, but that's not a given. If I take a LB in place of Njoku, his name would have been Foster.
Again one injury in three years of college ball does not "injury-prone" make... and none in one does not make a player bulletproof. That we'll simply have to disagree upon...
-
Reality is myles could prob play right now. Browns are avoiding the big clowney like multi year ordeal by shutting him down
-
everybody making excuses for why watt had a great game and was named defensive rookie of the week, but if glass garrett had those stats we would be fitting him with a bronze bust in Canton already.

I'd have taken Foster over Watt any day of the week.

Not if his sacks came on ben holding the ball as long as kizer did. Some of us have an eye for these things.

In hindsight schobert is so far proving himself.....but i agree why would we take a 3-4 olb'er?

It pisses me off to no end when these teams at the bottom of the draft get these players that are better than what we take at the top of the draft.

It's only Week 1... better pace yourself.

My first chance to vent, not sure I'm done yet.
You're venting over a player who has yet to play a game? Premature ejaculation still a problem? (there is more than one meaning to the word).

A good play, sure, but again, the primary fault of the rookie QB.

Against a rookie LB...

Look i like that watt kid, if we had stayed in the 3-4 i woyldnt have been adverse to taking him. But he's not his brother, not even close. So we need to calm down a bit. JJ in his prime was pretty much one of THE most physically gifted DL the NFL has EVER seen. This panic that the steelers got the next JJ is right now completely unfounded. He's a high motor kid line his brother so he's going to make scrappy plays if some dumbass qb holds the ball too long. He's not tearing through IL like his brother was from day one.
Last sunday nassib was far more in roethlisbergers vicinity than watt was in kizers. But because we have a rookie qb and a struggling OL when watt did get close he was able to make a play. On at least 4-5 plays off the top of my head i know that nassib was a cunt hair from grabbing hold of roethlisberger. Its bens pocket awareness that kept our pressure from sacking him, but he was still getting rid of the ball way earlier than he wanted.

I'm not sure, maybe unnecessary roughness. He didn't have to flip him.
I was going to post the video, but felt it would get deleted.
But I'll give it a shot.
Also, not sure why this is a freeze frame video.
