    Teams have been double teaming him all season and holding his pressures down. I’d say 16 1/2. It only took 8 games this season to switch him to the right side and Highsmith to the left. They need to do that more.

    Highsmith goes against the opposing teams LT, and they're usually the best OL on the team.

    If it was only two players it would be something. I've seen as many as 4 players devoted to stopping Watt, RG, RT, TE, and RB, and 3 many many many times. Rt, TE, and RB. Yet I'm to believe that Highsmith has more problems because He's facing the LT alone. LoL

    Highsmith did have 14.5 sacks the season Watt was injured.

    As he should. Teams are chipping da sh it out of TJ on every play, this should open it up for others.

    People only see what they want to believe. Yet tell others they don’t know football
    Basketball for instance , 5 players on the court, if i have 2-3 guys defending me, there will be 2 of my teammates wide open that i can pass the rock to. Correct?

    You guys take everything I say totally wrong. I Said He was good, and I said We miss Him when He's not out there......BUT with as much attention as Watt gets ....Highsmith should be doing more. Name Me one time Highsmith gets 3 guys on Him??? This happens every single game with TJ.
    Also let's not act like TJ Watt didn't play any games that year. He played 9, or 10 that year.
