joewilly12 26,432 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 JJ Watt causes stir by using Jets coach Robert Saleh’s mantra By Ryan Dunleavy February 16, 2021 | 2:18pm | Updated Whether he intended to or not, JJ Watt just sent Jets fans into a speculation frenzy. The free-agent pass-rusher published Tuesday afternoon to Instagram a photo of the weights and football field at a training center with the tagline: “All gas, no brakes.” You might recognize that as the mantra that new head coach Robert Saleh is bringing to the Jets. So, is that the 32-year-old Watt not-so-subtly declaring that he has interest in joining the Jets, despite various reports of the Steelers, Packers, Browns and Titans as his front-runners? Perhaps taking a page from the book of MLB star Trevor Bauer or others in the NFL whose egos enjoy the full-court press of being wooed? Before falling too far down a slippery slope, remember that “All gas, no brakes” is a popular NFL cliché for giving maximum effort. Saleh did not invent the phrase for the Jets and they certainly don’t have ownership of it. Raiders defensive backs coach Jim O’Neill said last season that “Everybody uses the cliche ‘all gas, no brakes’’” in describing rookie safety Jonathan Abram. And it was a saying Saleh used frequently to describe the mentality of the 49ers defense during his four years as coordinator. JJ Watt posted Jets head coach Robert Saleh’s manta on Instagram. Instagram/@jjwatt; Getty Images Saleh’s six-year stint with the Texans, including two as the assistant linebackers coach, ended just before Watt arrived as a 2011 first-round draft pick. So maybe it just lives on inside the Texans facility where both spent countless hours. The Jets have the salary-cap space to lure the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, but not the championship-contending roster he seeks after asking to be released from the Texans rather than endure a rebuild. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BroadwayRay 3,398 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I don't know what the advanced stats say about Watt, but he had five sacks last season, and his injury history is kind of frightening. Are there any stats out there that indicate he's still an effective pass rusher? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NYJ1 1,959 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 There's NO doubting the Texans have some talent on their team. If they want to have a fire sale, JD would be a fool not to kick the tires on a few players. Not just talking about Watson here. If JJ Watt can he had at a decent price then JD would be nuts not to sign him. His positive influence on the young kids alone can be an invaluable tool. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
