Texans to use JJ Watt "more and more" as a TE

last game, Watt caught a touchdown pass after lining up as a tight end on second-and-1 from the 1-yard line on the Texans ' first drive of the game.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien:

"Yeah, I think that is somebody that, whether it is goal line or the normal part of the offense, I can see us using him more and more [on offense] moving forward here," O'Brien said.

"You've got a guy that is sitting over there that is 6-7, 295 pounds," O'Brien said. "He can jump. He was a tight end early in his career in high school and in college, so he's got an idea on how to catch the ball and he can block. We can use him in different packages at tight end, which is good."

JJ Watt:

"Whatever I can do to help the team win," Watt said. "If the coaches call my number (at TE), I will most definitely be ready to go."

he'll be covered next time.

he's still not a receiver.

the new LB coach for the Texans, Mike Vrabel, was a 6-4/261 All-Pro LB for the Patriots (and an All-American DE at Ohio State before that) and the Patriots used him as a TE on offense and he caught 10 TD passes for them (including one in Super Bowl XXXVIII against the Panthers and one in Super Bowl XXXIX against the Eagles). Then Vrabel played LB for the Chiefs, and they used him as TE on offense too, and he had 2 TD catches for them

Patriots Daily wrote that: "Each touchdown looks relatively similar — Vrabel slips unnoticed past the defensive line on a short little down and out or down and in play"

...

(Tom Brady said) “If they’re playing the pass and you run it then they’re screwed, and if you try to make it look like a run and Vrabel slips out for a pass, then you leave him open.”

...

Bill Belichick said... “It’s tough on the goal line. You’re trying to stop the run, play-action passes. You’re only defending a yard, so it’s tough,” Belichick said.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
