Is anyone else worried that TJ won't be back to his 2021 self? Up till the injury last year, I always felt that TJ was going to keep getting better each year. Obviously, 2021 would be tough to top. I'm hoping that his play in the second half of last season was still injury related. But I have this nagging concern that he's going to slide down to a 10-12 sack guy.

Please just tell me that I'm crazy and I'll take your word for it.

NONE OF US CAN BE OUR 2021 SELF AGAIN

You're living in your fears man....2021 is gone....

And yes TJ will slide down to a 10-12 sack guy.......In 10-12 years
 
I got it first hand note that TJ is following my “Mantra”

I don’t have a rear view mirror, so I can’t see what’s behind me………..
I can only see what’s right in front of me and ahead to a degree……….

He thanked me for those words and said “HELLA” yeah, can I buy you supper………

He took me to McDonalds and said “Order what ever you want”. I said what about your brother‘s Subway..

TJ said **** my brother…… I ordered a Double cheese burger Hold the cheese and a small fry….then left….
to find his brother…………

There are many things to be concerned with in terms if health on the team. Most of the free agents they picked up would have a health warning on them. Same with sone of the draft picks. And I will say that Watt is coming to the age where his brother broke down. However, the pec? He was becoming his explosive self at the end of last season. That's going to be 8 months ago by the time season starts.
 
He will be fine. He will draw double teams all year and tge rest of the front seven will benefit
 
I never really expected him to maintain an all-time NFL record pace.
 
just judgeing from when he finally got healthy last year, I would say natural decline does not need to be worried about yet.

Any insight to what we should be worried about ?

I can put you at ease on 1/2 of your worries………..

I just finished the installation of the “Domestic Waste” converter. It solves that problem Coolie has when riding in the LS10 by taking human waste and converting it into fuel.

As for the TJ debacle, you have a good starting point on how to handle it.

Continue your therapy and eat your BACON based vegetables.

I see a healthy Watt good for 15+ sacks per season (even with double teams) for the next 5 years. I still think a healthy season in the next 2 or 3 and he breaks the all-time sack record.


That sure would be nice considering they JACKED him on that exact record just a couple seasons ago.

The facts are when you are a 250lb guy facing 320lb tackles week in and week out your body breaks down. If TJ can get back to being a 12+ sack guy for two more seasons we are lucky. If he becomes an 8 sack guy after 30 I would again consider us lucky.
