JACKSONVILLE,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, Fla. (AP) — After losing starting right tackle Austin Pasztor to a season-ending hamstring injury, the Jacksonville Jaguars had to decide whether to try to block all-everything defensive end J.J. Watt with an unproven veteran or an undrafted rookie.
The Jaguars have allowed an NFL-high 50 sacks, which is 11 more than second-place Washington. Jacksonville has two rookies on the line in addition to second-year pro Luke Joeckel at left tackle. Each of them is likely to face Watt at some point in the game since he lines up all across the line.

He also is the first defensive linemen since 1944 with five touchdowns in a season, and the fourth player in NFL history with an interception return for a touchdown, a fumble return for a touchdown and a receiving touchdown in the same season.

"It's a great opportunity, it'll be a challenge," Young said. "He's an extremely talented player, probably the best defensive player in the game right now. Like any game, there will be ups and downs, but I'm looking forward to it."
"I can't control the way anybody votes or anybody's opinion or how they write or what they think," Watt said. "The only thing I can control is what I can control and that is going to practice every day and playing as hard as I can, studying as much film as possible, going to the weight room and working out and then going out there on game day and making as many plays as I can."
Watt probably is,China Jerseys, too.
"When we break the huddle, he's a guy you definitely have to have an answer for," Joeckel said. |
