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 who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
