Randy Mueller: The definitive analysis/interview re: the Deshaun Watson situation.

I mean this “make him play” poo is dumb. If he REALLY wants no part of it and they are forcing him to play (which seems ridiculous) then all he has to do is start throwing picks or fumbling snaps. I mean come on. They can’t MAKE him play a sport. If the legal poo dies down he may decide it’s in HIS best interest to play and play well. That however is a different story….

OP has a weird fetish involving rich owners forcing players to perform. It’s a dying formula… GB tried that with Rodgers and had to have an emergency meeting with stakeholders, rework his contract (where now they may get NOTHING for him next year) and have him involved in franchise decisions like bringing in Cobb. Julio just asked for a trade and got it. Watt just asked to be released and was. Teams don’t want players on their roster who don’t want to be there. It terrible for the team morale and the locker room. Houston is holding their cards close hoping the legal poo gets settled so they can get a king’s random for Watson. It’s not a terrible decision really…

Of course they can't make him play.

They can however force him to make a decision on whether or not he wants to collect the monies involved in that massive $150M+ contract...

...everything in life involves tradeoffs -- no play, no pay.

If he's so determined to never play for the Texans again why did he show up for camp?

And what if he fumbles every snap?

Has he even practiced with the team this off season?

As i said before im not ruling anything out, a lot hindges on how darnold does. If he stinks it up with a legit supporting cast around him Tepper is gonna start throwing those brass balls around. Doesnt matter what anybody else thinks, he wants the team winning as soon possible and that would be strike 2 on rhule camp fumbling the qb situation. There won't be a third. If you don't want watson here, you better hope darnold fixes his issuses fast and someone else trades for watson before then. Unless any of those things happen he will continue to be linked here.

Right, but the reports I’ve seen have him showing up but not actually practicing. 
 

https://texanswire.usatoday.com/2021/08/25/texans-training-camp-practice-deshaun-watson/

He's on the 53-man roster and available to play.  

In fact, he's obligated to play if he wants to collect on the $150M++ of funds specified in his contract...

...I doubt the Texans want to pay him $30 million to stand around on the sidelines --- because make no mistake about   it...

...he is an active member of the 53-man final roster.  

Let me put it another way, what team would stall for 9-months and then spring it on everyone they expect Mr. Whip It Out to play?!?

Nobody but the Texans right?!?

3.  If Deshaun wants to get paid this year he's going to have to play.

I don't see him playing. He hasn't even been practicing to my knowledge.

Texans are paying him to be on the roster. Right now it's part of the 53, but it could be on an exempt list at some future point in the season. Basically, they are paying millions this season for future 1st round draft picks.

    • Yep - honestly though, I thought his coverage was as good as you could possibly do on a man coverage crossing route with Dak having all day to throw. Dak made a perfect throw and if it wasn't in front of Pickens, it could have easily been picked off. Seemed like we ran more man than I have seen our defense run so far this year. Defense also did a great job of playing their gap/zone responsibilities (even if Dak did pick apart our zone a good chunk of the game) - that screen play on the last drive could easily have gone for a touchdown if Moehrig didn't play his zone and make a great tackle. Biggest complaint about Evero was not blitzing a few more times (especially when Dallas was in the red zone). The few times we did it, Dak didn't look comfortable.
    • There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon. 
    • People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
