Hockey skills of Texans’ Watt impressive to National Football League foe

The Texans’ opponent this week, the NY Jets, are also impressed by his ability to rush the puck.

The surgery was to fix a torn ligament on the left thumb of the right-handed quarterback.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.-Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said Wednesday that he was satisfied with his team’s 5-4 record so far and was noncommittal about the future of quarterback Geno Smith. “You got to know where he is and sometimes that’s not good enough so we just have to go out there and play our game and our offensive line has their work cut out for them”. “He had surgery to get [physically] better, but the toleration of the pain will be the same”.

“If it was that easy, then for sure there wouldn’t an issue”, he said. “There’s a couple different factors that are playing into it”.

Especially after watching the Texans shut down Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. “That game really changed my math. It got me way more confident about taking my time and not rushing and all that stuff”. -Alfred Blue will continue to pace the Texans’ running backs in carries despite again averaging less than 3.0 yards per carry, just as he has in five of the eight games he’s played in this season. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Yates actually started a playoff game for the Texans in 2012. “So you feel more comfortable going in, getting more reps during the week”.

Bob Levey/Getty Images Houston’s attack isn’t imposing, but defensive end J.J. Watt could make it a bloody tough day for the Jets.

DYNAMIC DUO: Jets wide receivers Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall have touchdown catches in the same game five times this season.

Richardson was on the side and did not participate in practice this week due to a hamstring injury, which does not bode well for playing against the Texans. Hopkins has 71 receptions for 927 yards and seven touchdowns on the season. He would go to the Kohl Center to watch Wisconsin play, as well as the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League. The defensive lineman could be replaced Sunday by rookie Leonard Williams, who started in Richardson’s place during his suspension. Antonio Cromartie (bruised thigh) missed the Jets’ last game against Buffalo after being hurt early against Jacksonville, but is expected to play Sunday.

Safety Dion Bailey (ankle) was the only Jet officially ruled out Friday, but the return of Calvin Pryor will cushion that blow.

When it comes to fantasy football, Chris Ivory had one of his better performances last Thursday, posting 99 yards on 18 carries and an additional 36 yards on two receptions, the big question is, can he keep up the momentum as the Jets enter NRG Stadium this Sunday?
