The defender unloaded his frustration after the defeat against Bengals
HOUSTON – The defensive wing JJ Watt expressed his frustration with the game Houston jeans in the middle of this losing season on several occasions, but his frustration seemed to overflow after the 37-31 defeat against the Cincinnati Bengals.
After acknowledging that the defense had played “horribly” on Sunday, and that this was the toughest year of his 10 seasons in the NFL, Watt Coomo was asked to regroup the team ahead of the Week. 17.
In response, Watt complained about how badly the Texans have played this campaign, saying he feels bad for fans and people “who care so much” about this team, apparently in response to the Texans ’lack of professionalism.
“We’re professional athletes who pay a lot of money. If you can’t go in and work, go out to training and work hard, do your gym and do what you’re supposed to do, you shouldn’t be here. This is a work. They pay us a lot of money, “the veteran player said.
“There are a lot of people who look at us and invest their time and money in buying our t-shirts and buying a bunch of mie …, and they care. They worry every week. We’re in Week 16 and we’re 4- 11, and there are fans who watch this match, who show up at the stadium and dedicate time, energy, effort and care about it.If you can’t go out and work, arrive on time … you shouldn’t be here “Because that’s a privilege. It’s the best job in the world.”
“There are people every week who still tweet, who come up and say, ‘Listen, we still support you …’. They have no reason to do so. We stink. These people are not paid .They pay us well.And that’s … that’s why I feel worse, it’s our fans and the people who care so deeply and the city and the people who love it and really want it to be great. And it’s not. And it stinks because we’re not giving them what they deserve, “he said.
The Texans are 4-11 and have lost four in a row for the second time this season. Houston fired head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien after his defeat in Week 4, and Romeo Crennel was named interim head coach for the rest of the year.
