3rivers Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Do you think Watt will set a new team Record fro sacks, currently held by JH92 set in 2008, his DPOY campaign . Before that it was set in 1984 by Mike Merriweather. Edited November 25, 2019 by 3rivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 steelers future on defense looks bright have two guys in the DPOY race with Watt(25) and Minka(22) and one of the better rookie linebackers in Bush(21). Tuitt was a beast before he went down(26). Nelson has been playing like a shutdown corner(26). if they somehow keep Bud and make some moves to help the offense and Ben looks right, I'm going to be really hyped going into next yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be a little cheaper than anticipated. I can hope, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 and Heyward is a legit pro bowler every year. If this defence gets some help from the offence, it will make a difference in that they won't be as tired later in games . Like this scheme more than LeBeaus and the players are well suited for this. I still don't like how butler plays william instead of Bush , unless the real reason is to keep Bush rested, we never know. Many of the players on this defence will be going into their primes over the next 4 years, it could be formidable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked how Minkah was there for the FF and made sure he didn't step out of bounds. It was all another day at the office during that play, no big deal for Minkah. Nice play by Bush, lets not forget about him despite not playing as much lately Edited November 26, 2019 by 3rivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH92's record held up for 11 years, but it's Watt's now unless he gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect Bosa but there are others leading the race for the Gastineau award (sacks leader) but are on losing teams which doesn't help. Usually DPOY is on a winning /playoff team.

VigilantZombie Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Shaq Barrett has 2 more sacks and more FF than Watt. I've heard people say Stephom Gilmore should get it. To me, TJ Watt is the clear cut choice, I'd be surprised if he gets it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 4 games left, wait and see, it should be close this year anyways. How much more would you expect Barrett to get for a new deal when compared to Dupree? The Smiths are what I have read, but if Shaq gets DPOY, that only raises his price in UFA. Not a bad idea signing a 1 year prove it deal. Watt has 1 less FF but has 3 more FR and PD.

TXsteeler Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I think Watt is actually the closest he has been to dpoy all season but he is now no longer on pace to beat the sack record, although he may still get it with the Jets and a Ravens team resting starters. On a related note, Watt will likely break the record streak of offensive Steelers MVPs at 8 years in a row. Looking through the history of the reward since 1969, the offense has only ever won it 3 times in a row before this streak, and they've only done it twice. The last two times a defensive player won the Steelers team MVP were in 2010 and 2008, both seasons where the player also won DPOY. https://www.steelers.com/news/smith-schuster-named-steelers-2018-mvp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Watt doesnt need to break the sack record. He is easily the best pass rusher we have had since prime James Harrison....maybe even on the same level. Lets remember, Watt is still only 25 and in his 3rd season. He is already IMO one of the best defensive players in the league. He is pretty close to being on pace to what his brother did his first 3 years in the league. Watt could draw 5 holding calls every game if refs didnt suck. He could easily have 20 sacks by now, but whatever...he is a special player, and I cant wait to see what he can do going forward. Lets just hope he avoids the injury bug his older brother caught. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
