That again, the non-firing of Kubiak and hiring of Phillips. At the time of the move, there is also no player movement have foresight to know exactly how things are gonna shape out. It it was tossing in a new guy to handle the SAME existing busted personnel. When you add Jonathan Joseph, JJ Watt, Danieal Manning, Brooks Reed months later, and you get Connor Barwin back from injury, all of a sudden the defensive makeup is totally different. Kubiak had one of the longest leashes ever for a coach that never made the playoffs at the time, of COURSE that was gonna add to fan frustration
He's out of firing distance of the MVP after the Texans laid an egg against the Pat's but imo, he's got DPOY locked up.
Meanwhile, Von Miller, who many people still think he should be DPOY outside of Houston, had 2 tackles in his game today. That is because of the Mario Williams effect, he is getting double teamed!
A blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while... :grin: But in all seriousness, he is so athletic that he should get that many barring injuries. And quarterbacks are throwing more and more, so he has more opportunities.
Honestly, if Texans end up number one in the AFC, then Watt should absolutely have an opportunity for MVP. His impact on defense affects the scoreboard directly. Multiple times have he sacked QBs which led them out of field goal range. Multiple times have he batted down passes that led to intersections or incompletions that would have been enough for first downs or touchdowns. Its astonishing how a defensive end have such a direct impact for a team. And its not like we are a ****ty team. We are still a top of the AFC. Matt Ryan has nothing on J.J.
Seriously the most dominate performance by a defensive player I've seen. He completed beasted out there.
