How much, how close is the T.J. Watt in 2026 to the T.J. Watt that we saw play through his prime? How much has he lost, if any?
10:15
Yes, that's a great question.
10:16
So if you look at some of the advanced numbers, where they really get into the intricacies of playing the pass rush position, it's not a stretch to say it's just pure facts that he has lost a step.
10:26
When you generate or when you calculate that true first-step explosion, that first-step quickness, what he had last year, and I think even in 2024 compared to '23 and those years where he was a, you know, premier candidate for Defensive Player of the Year, his numbers are down.
10:43
His time is slower.
10:45
However, you gotta look at the facts of the last two seasons with T.J. Watt, and a lot of it has been dinged up and due to injury, right? And that's another concern, right? Because you think of his brother, J.J.
10:55
Watt, he went out on, you know, a great run with the Arizona Cardinals with double-digit sacks because he was still a really good player, but the years prior were all marred by injury.
15:59
Your thoughts, uh, just generally on, on Rodgers coming back, the decision to do that, and pair him once again, reunite him with Mike McCarthy, and then just what are your expectations for this team?
