When the Texans were getting started on offseason work this year Will Grier Jersey , head coach Bill O’Brien said that he thought it would be big for quarterback Deshaun Watson to have a “full offseason” with the team.Watson joined the program in progress as a rookie in 2017 and was coming off a torn ACL last year, but was able to focus on nothing but mastering the offense this time around. That offseason work is now over and Watson’s assessment of his work is in line with what O’Brien said he was hoping to see.“I feel like I’m ahead of where I was, of course, last year,” Watson said, via the team’s website. “Just decision making, operation of the offense, being able to do things that I couldn’t do a year before and definitely my rookie year. Being able to take control and take leadership of this offense and be able to get the young guys lined up, make sure the protection is right Christian Miller Jersey , make sure the ball is getting placed in the right direction or where the ball needs to be versus this coverage. It’s been a great camp and we’re just trying to continue to improve and make this offense go.”Watson believes the offense has the potential to go a lot of good places in 2019 and said “whoever is touching the ball on each possession can make something happen.” Keeping those pieces healthy and making sure a reworked offensive line can hold up better than last year’s edition will be keys to making sure that good things are happening in Houston. TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are moving on from Gerald McCoy.The team released the six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle, describing the move as a mutual agreement after nine seasons.McCoy, the third overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft, was due to make $13 million next season, but none of it was guaranteed.Coach Bruce Arians did not want to talk about the decision following one of the club’s OTA workouts Tuesday, saying he had wished McCoy well in a statement released by the Bucs, and that “there’s no need for answering questions about that.”“We’ve already moved on,” the coach Jordan Scarlett Jersey , preparing for his first season in Tampa Bay, said.McCoy, 31, had six sacks and a team-leading 21 quarterback pressures in 2018, when the Bucs went 5-11 and missed the playoffs for the 11th consecutive season. He has 54 1/2 sacks in 123 career games, was an All-Pro in 2013 and a Pro Bowl selection every year from 2012-17.“These decisions are very difficult, personally and professionally,” general manager Jason Licht said in the club statement late Monday. “Over the past nine years, Gerald has been a cornerstone of this franchise and a leader in our community. Parting ways with a player and person such as Gerald is one of the toughest responsibilities of this job.”Even before releasing McCoy David Montgomery Jersey , the Buccaneers were going to have a decidedly different look on the defensive line in 2019.In addition to making the transition from a 4-3 scheme to a 3-4 under new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, the team will enter the season without end Jason Pierre-Paul, who was injured in an automobile accident this spring.There’s speculation that the team is interested in signing free agent Ndamukong Suh as a replacement for McCoy, who was selected one spot behind Suh in the draft.“I can’t talk about him. He’s not on my team,” Arians said of Suh, who played for the Los Angeles Rams last season.Reminded that Suh is a free agent, the coach added: “He’s a hell of a player. We’ll see.”When McCoy was selected to appear in the Pro Bowl in 2017, he joined Hall of Famers Lee Roy Selmon, Derrick Brooks and Warren Sapp Riley Ridley Jersey , as well as Mike Alstott, as one of only five players in Bucs history to land at least six consecutive berths in the annual all-star game.“I know Gerald has done a lot of good things on and off the football field in Tampa during his time here,” Arians said in the statement released Monday.“You hate to see good football players go, but this is a decision that we felt needed to be made in order to allow us, and Gerald, the ability to move forward,” Arians added. “Gerald is a class act and I wish him the best.”Offensive tackle Demar Dotson, who’s entering his 11th season with the Bucs, said McCoy will be missed.“Gerald is a tremendous player and a tremendous person Greedy Williams Jersey ,” Dotson said.“It’s unfortunate, it’s a business. When you’ve got a high salary and you start getting 30 years old, that’s just how the business is,” Dotson added. “One thing about Gerald. He can still play … He’s going to be playing somewhere.”
