maybe hopkins told the texans he would not re-sign with them so they figured they'd get what they could out of him?

My guess is Watt had input here. Maybe he didn't like Hopkins and thought Houston was taking away from the defensive side. Houston hasn't been a feared defense since 2016. Houston has no reason now to need to be so offensive with Luck out of the equation. Their defense needs to get back to the front.

Houston has decent weapons on offense already. No Hopkins, but they're serviceable. And if Houston is trying to be more run-oriented to run out the clock more, that helps the defense.

This seems like a dumb thing to do.


And I've witnessed a lot of dumb things in football.
Yea like the Lions trying to run a football team

I don’t think Watt has that big of an ego

I guarantee you that Watt if asked would have said not to do this. Guarantee.

A guy who gets first downs on offense helps, not hurts, a defense.

My guess is the opposite. Watt is probably pissed, he doesn't have a huge ego like most superstars
