Comments on: J.J. Watt is the AFC defensive player of the month http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/03/j-j-watt-is-the-afc-defensive-player-of-the-month/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Fri, 24 May 2013 01:00:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: 8to80texansblog http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/03/j-j-watt-is-the-afc-defensive-player-of-the-month/#comment-2229952 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:59:22 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1637758#comment-2229952 JJ Watt will win DPOY and its not close. Pro Football Focus has given him the highest rating at any position… Ever.

Led the league in Sacks, TFL, Run stops, Top 10 in Passes Defended (set an NFL record for passes batted at LOS), He had a defensive stop on almost 20% of the plays he was involved in.

He dominated the position like never before. He led the league in sacks from an interior line position…. that’s insane. On top of that he led the league in run stop percentage.

Miller, Smith, Tillman, and Atkins all had great years, but its not even close.

That’s what coaches do – the good ones.

Geno Atkins deserves it more. just like he deserves DPOY more.
————————————

That’s just a dumb comment coming from a fanboy. Atkins has had a great year but has nowhere near the same numbers as any of the other guys.

In fact, he was one of the only ones who played well against them. He had numerous pressures and knockdowns in that game.

Four QB hits and two hurries would be the most productive day of the season for most 3-4 DEs in this league. The fact that a game like that constitutes a down day for Watt just speaks to how dominant he is.

And did somebody seriously question his ability to show up in the playoffs? He led the postseason in sacks last year and tacked on a pick-six, PD, and 14 total tackles in just two games.

They are, and should be, favored in that rematch….

A coach that’s one of the best ever created a scheme to minimize the impact of an opposing lineman, and this is a big deal? Even if that wasn’t the case, not every player is going to have a good game every week.

And yet he disappeared for the Pats game. Which Watt shows up for playoffs?

=========

Belichik is hailed as a genius for a reason. They put together a very good scheme for focusing on limiting Watt’s destructive ability.

While Watt didn’t have any sacks or batted passes, he didn’t really disappear. He recorded a forced fumble and was still in Brady’s face all night.

Where JJ had no sacks, tipped passes or tackles for loss.
