    TJ wasn’t very good rushing on the right if anyone remembers his rookie year.

    But he's not. The actual highest paid non Qb only has 1.5 sacks. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo:shrug:
    And I bet they didn't take away a sack from him, and call it a tackle for a loss.

    This drives me crazy. I'm sorry, but it does.
    How many times did Greg Lloyd, Green, Porter, Harrison, Woodley, and our other OLBs since Cowher started coaching, and we changed to a 3-4 were moved all over???
    None. Difference is they all had someone on the other side, yet for some crazy reason since we can't seem to find anyone that can actually stay healthy, and produce double digits on the otherside , people want to make Watt the 1st to do it.

    When Watt was in negotiations for his last contract he said that he would be willing to move around the LOS more often than in the past. I don’t have the exact quote but I do remember him saying that or something there of. Last week he moved over to the right side on one play that I know of. I don’t believe he did it much at all week one. The only way he will be effective going forward is if he stunts and comes from different angles. Our defensive coaching staff does not use our players in a way that confuses the other team. That has been a problem since Dick LeBeau left.

    I meant at the time of Watt signing his contract he was the highest paid non-QB, so now we're counting almost sacks :rolleyes:. Also the Packers defense dominated two playoff teams and is one of the best defenses, the Steelers not so much.

    You're asking the wrong question here.

    Who has more "almost plays"? That's how you know who the better player is. :drinks:

    Come on don't be @Steelersfan43@Steelersfan43 , and move the goal post, you were talking about sacks , not on this post , not the overall D of the team, and the highest paid player outside of a Qb has a total of 1.5. Also it wasn't a almost sack, it was a sack turned into a tackle for loss. You can disagree all you like , but that's what it was. You know it, I know it, and I know TJ knows it
