DeShaun Watson's legs are no longer a threat

Written By: LM



In 2017, we seen a young man, loop and doop out of bad situation to make a play downfield or scramble.  We thought we were receiving that Deshaun Watson in 2018, but we were wrong.

Currently, teams do not respect Deshaun's scrambling ability. Initially I blamed Bill O'Brien for trying to force Deshaun to play a stoic game, but I really don't know anymore.  After many mental mistakes by Deshaun, I am beginning to think, Deshaun is the culprit.

I hear fans making excuses with the Offensive Line however the offensive line was just as crappy last year.

Deshaun's legs was the wild card that defenses had to account for, now it's little to no threat at all.

Lastly, Deshaun's pocket awareness is trash.  I am not sure if he's waiting for guys to get open or if he still thinks he's at Clemson playing Boston College in the ACC.

Although the Texans have won 7 in a row, this type of QB play is not sustainable with high octane offenses.

What made Deshaun a threat last year is not a threat this year to defenses. No one fears him breaking the pocket and making something happen.
