J.J. Watt:Offensive Weapon

[PrincetonTiger]

According to a report on ESPN.com Texans DE J.J. Watt wants to TE/FB in Goal-line situations and although Head Coach Kubiak seems reluctant to do this it says he has talked about using a "Wisconsin" package with Watt, Garrett Graham and Owen Daniels.

 

 

 

Note:

Watt went to Central Michigan as a TE before switching to DE and transferring to Wisconsin

Great, just great!

Even though Watt might be able to play O he is too valuable to the D to use.

They played around with this in the Pro Bowl. I think Kubiak is a little too conservative but apparently he's considered it so I guess I can't rule anything out lol.

That's just what we need, DBs taking cheap shots at Watt's kneecaps.

That was my first thought

[Valpo2004]

He did line up on offense at least once during the pro-bowl.

would be interesting for certain in game situational packages, even as diversion, but fully understand all u need is for him to get hurt doing something he is not used to

He should play offense only when they play the Colts, then he can go back to defense. Living in Houston I can tell you he may surpass Bruce Smith as the best to ever play the position. He is a freak.

Kubiak is lucky he still has a job.

JJ The Fridge Watts !

I think there are probably many players who could play both D and O well but because of risk of injury and the time it takes to prepare many teams don't it. The Pats have turned many a player like Brown, Vrabel, Endelman. I think if you can find guys that can do both then it adds to your depth as well. But I think a talent like JJ may not be worth the risk on O but I would love to see it.

The pats like to have players play on both sides of the ball in the past and present, but I don't like using key players in grunt roles . . . Richard Seymour was put in as a full back in front of Corey Dillon in short yardage and goal line situations and on one of the plays Seymour was stopped at the LOS on a block and Dillon ran up his back and the scrum happened and Seymour hurt his knee . . . this is the play that started all of his knee problems. . . 

 

so I think it is fun but I do not want my key players in grunt roles such as FB . . . put in a second string OL or DL in there at FB . .. it would be a shame to see Watt get injured while playing full back . . .
