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.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
