one of my favorite players not in the B&G....


"We're professional athletes getting paid a whole lot of money. If you can't come in and put work in in the building, go out to the practice field and work hard and do your lifts and do what you're supposed to do, you should not be here. This is a job. We are getting paid a whole lot of money. There are a lot of people that watch us and invest their time and their money into buying our jerseys and buying a whole bunch of s—t and they care about it. They care every single week...We're in Week 16 and we're 4-11 and there's fans that watched this game, that show up to the stadium, that put in time and energy and effort and care about this. So if you can't go out there and you can't work out, you can't show up on time, you can't practice, you can't want to go out there and win, you shouldn't be here, because this is a privilege. It's the greatest job in the world. You get to go out and play a game. If you can't care enough, even in Week 17, even when you're trash, even when you're 4-11, if you can't care enough to go out there, give everything you've got and try your hardest, that's bulls—t. So that's how. I think it's -- there are people every week that still tweet you, that still come up to you and say, hey, we're still rooting for you, we're still behind you. They have no reason whatsoever to. We stink. But they care, and they still want to win and they still want you to be great. That's why. Those people aren't getting paid. We're getting paid handsomely. That's why. And that's -- that's who I feel the most bad for is our fans and the people who care so deeply and the city and the people who love it and who truly want it to be great. And it's not. And that sucks as a player, to know that we're not giving them what they deserve."

Dude gets it. So glad to have his brothers on our roster.
 
A big boost should he land here through some "family" crisis of some nature.


Absolutely right on he "GETS" it, great ones always do. TJ came from great pedigree and I see him developing more aND MORE INTO THAT MIND SET. I too am glad for the WATT boys and their attitudes along the way.





Salute the nation
 
Mr. and Mrs. Watt raised their kids right.
 
The video is a must watch.

Love everything about this and wished more guys displayed this type of professionalism and admiration for the game and most importantly the fans. We are the ones that provide them with a handsome salary to play a game and the least they could do is show up, be professional, and work hard. Not asking for anything more.
 
I firmly believe he will be in Black and Gold next season. Firmly. He will not be a Texan for 17 million and he doesn't want to be there.

That would be cool
 
For how much Bud Dupree dropped coverage I have no idea why JJ could not play his position with some rotation.

This is it. Dupree's and Watt's coverage rate is absurdly low and they're basically playing defensive end.
 
waiting for the articles calling this divisive or "tone deaf" or just racist. Holding people accountable is no longer allowed in 2020
 
Saying the Steelers play 3-4 is somewhat laughable. They play 4-2-5

Yep. That's why people are off base when they are complaining that the steelers are only playing with 2 DL. They're not. They are playing Watt and Bud/Highsmith at DE in a 4 man front. They should re-think this though since Williamson sucks. They'd be better off with a 5 man front with a NT, especially against good running teams. Let's pack Tuitt, Alualu and Heyward inside and see who runs on us.

This is what I felt about the Bungles game. Play a 5 front and shut down the run. See of the could throw. Instead of a true nose in Hampton type player the Steelers play a 4-3 Nose which is just really the Weak side DT which you can call a DE but really the outside backers are DE. I believe it is sub package football that has eliminated the true Nose. Now they simply rotate what the call DE but its really a Tackle according to the situation. Now the only difference from the Steelers 3-4 and a 4-3 are the "techs" everyone plays

That is why he needs to find his way to Pittsburgh, that is Watt he deserves to play for a winner.

lot of douches on FB posting that he should just accept the losses and not worry about it.

Not sure how you can not love the heart the guy shows on and off the field



MOST of those "DOUCHES" are hidding behind their keyboards in most everything in life. They woyuldn't know how to stand up for themselves / finish a job properly / compete / and things of those nature.

Wouldn't Buggs be a good fit for that role? Thing is... he hardly gets a hat on Sundays.
 
Them Watt boys...gotta have 'em all. Total class.
