    I would like to see him in the backfield in the full back position on first and goal. Bet he can "plow" the way. Who was the lineman for the Bears years ago who played in the goal line offense?

    I would love to see him as a fullback running fullspeed towards the LOS and then just rear back and kick the first defender he hits in the balls as hard as he can.

    We should just clone him 21 times and have him play every position

    It probably won’t be every game but I'm sure we'll see Watt on offense in similar goal line situations during the season. Some people questioned if it was smart to pay a defensive player so much money no matter how good he is. Well, Watt also plays special teams and has blocked field goals and extra points. Use him on offense also to maximize his value.

    Once we perfect cloning we should switch the players to only clones of a single player. Have the Houston JJ Watts play the Seattle Marshawn Lynches. Loser has all of the clones slaughtered at the 50 yard line at the end of the game.

    Can any of you gamer nerds experiment with Watt at different positions in Madden?

    unfortunately Madden only lets you use JJ at defensive line positions

    BoB had Hopkins playing safety some snaps, and Denarius Johnson playing corner

    Absolutely not.

    I would never risk our best player in the O... we need him on D, where he's a beast.

    Yes, use him on O, as a decoy... and then bam throw a TD to Johnson.

    Win. Win. Win. We all win. Now go eat ice cream.

    I remember the Patriots would trot out Moss out on defense on last play hail mary's to deflect or intercept the ball. I know he had a couple of batted balls.
