I think he looked good in the Bengals and Patriots game, but really didn't impact the Titans game (hard to do that when Spain and Lewan were basically horsecollaring him). I'd like to see him take out a measure of revenge on Fisher this Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzyTexan Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Predictions of who will be the punt returner now Ervin is done for the year? Depth chart (October 5th) lists 1) Chris Thompson 2) Will Fuller 3) Bruce Ellington. I think fuller is too important to be out there as a punt returner consistently. Any chance we see Braxton back there? Would love to get him more involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chris Thompson earned the shot - everyone would like to see Braxton, but I think he's starting to venture into bust territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the order is Thompson; Todman; Ellington; Miller; Burley; then Fuller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Stallion Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 6 hours ago, Pastor Dillon said: He probably won't ever be the same player he was before back surgery My "hot take" is no. Strikes me as more of an early season anomaly than anything. I'd be more concerned if he wasn't getting pressures or disrupting but he seems to just be missing by half a step or getting hands on QBs and not being able to finish. The dude has had 3 major surgeries (2 back, 1 abductors/abs) within a year and is has been playing with a mangled finger for 3 games. Watt's sacks usually came off spin moves and there is no way you can herniate multiple disks and rip 3 ab muscles and have it not effect the way you operate both mentally and physically for a while not to mention not being able to "grasp" QBs with those giant mitts. Aside from the Jacksonville disaster where the front 7's heads were still in a West Virginia resort along with everyone else's, the run defense has been absolutely stifling and Watt seems to be playing inside more than ever. Watt is far from a one-trick pony and even if he has to adjust his twisty moves a bit to be able to more effectively finish, I have full confidence that he will adapt and do whatever physically is necessary to return to peak performance. It was refreshing to have a Covington sighting as hopefully we can actually bring Watt off the field more than 2 snaps per game as we learned last year that the guy is actually human and probably needs to be brought off more so he isn't physically wrecked every game. If anything, I'm more concerned about some of Clowney's lapses in run defense as he absolutely botched contain on Mariota's big TD run and for all the spectacular plays, not holding his edge is a bit of recurring issue and Kareem Hunt is going to hit that edge far harder than any we've seen. Mercilus has been pretty invisible so far as well. Frankly, I'll take a boring, low glamour stat game from all 3 of them this week as long as it means Hunt and Hill aren't gashing us on flash plays either.
