5. Despite the presence of Josh Sitton, JJ Watt will terrorize the Bears
When JJ Watt had back surgery in July, there was talk that he may not be ready for week one against the Chicago Bears. That speculation faded this week at Watt himself has said he’ll be ready for week one.
If the Texans reduce Watt’s snap count, it won’t be enough to notice. Josh Sitton will help contain Watt at times, but unfortunately, Watt lines up all over the field and usually over the tackles. He’s going to have his way with Charles Leno, and when he played across from Bobby Massie, it’s going to be very ugly.
Watt is going to be in the backfield early and often. He’s going to knock Jay Cutler down a couple times and he’s going to record a couple sacks as well. Don’t be surprised if he disrupts a running play or two in the backfield before it even develops. The Bears offensive line isn’t ready for the task of containing JJ Watt and he’s going to be a major headache for Chicago’s offense.
