    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.

    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).😁

    Let's not overlook that watt had an interception also

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    And who the fuck are you to make that call?

    According to JJ his little bro is light years ahead of him at this point in his career.

    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...

    That wasn't Garrett's only injury. They may not have kept him from starting, but he was/is most certainly injury prone.

    So? Not really the point.

    If you call that not contributing, then you could find a player who did absolutely nothing to contribute on almost every play.

    I said Watt flipped Thomas. He presumed Thomas was held. I posted the video. 

    I'm sure that if an all pro Steeler O lineman got taken down Judo style by a browns rookie LB 70 lbs. lighter, your sentiments would be quite different.

    You'd make a thread about it.

    Tried playing the vid link, but no go for me...

    EDIT: Got it on 2nd attempt. Stop motion is just the series of shots taken by photographer with a healthy zoom lens.

    lol... well the play was over. TJ got face-planted and did not like it. You can't hip-flip without holding.

    On another note I'm not sure where the stated 70# weight differential is coming from. Joe doesn't play at 320+.

    As you are well aware, there is a difference between pain and injury. What besides the high-ankle sprain in year 3 affected his play?

    Odell Beckham had a high ankle sprain from their preseason game with the Browns....which was a month ago, and he still is not back on the field.  I suspect that Garrett will miss at least the first 4 games....maybe 6. 

    So...who was in there to "step up"?  Was that Orchard...or Nassib, a rotation of the two, or Holmes? Or someone else.  Whoever it was....they are likely going to have to go that route well into October.

    You clearly never wrestled. What he did is not that hard if you position yourself properly, even against someone much bigger. He got beat on the play.

    He had a lull of mediocrity as a junior from some injury. Don't remember what it was and don't feel like digging through the insider posts on Texags to find it. He also tailed off as a freshman IIRC which everyone chalked up to being dinged up. Just trust me on this one. He is injury prone.
