JJ Watt criticizes Giants lineman who spoke badly about his brother TJ after loss

The New York Giants came up short against the Pittsburgh Steelers on “Monday Night Football.”

The 26-18 loss was sealed in part by Pittsburgh pass rusher TJ Watt when he sacked New York quarterback Daniel Jones and recovered the fumble late in the fourth quarter.

The right tackle in charge of stopping Watt was Jermaine Eluemunor (No. 72), who made some strange comments earlier in the week about wanting to “be on an island” with Watt.

Well, he got his wish, but it didn’t turn out well. Eluemunor gave up two sacks to Watt, but when asked by WFAN Tuesday had a completely different version of events.

“I was on an island with him for most of the game and he didn’t do anything,” Eluemunor insisted. “He didn’t do anything for three and a half quarters and had one impact play.”

The game tape said something different, and CBS Sports NFL analyst JJ Watt, TJ’s brother, came in with receipts from “The Pat McAfee Show” on Wednesday.

“What are you doing, man?” Watt asked, exasperated. “You gave up the fumble that lost the game.”

Despite dominating, Watt was quick to point out that his brother did not shoot Eluemunor after the game. The former Houston Texans defensive end expressed frustration that the Giants tackle didn’t take responsibility for his failures and continued trash-talking after a loss.

“Before the game, the guy says he wants to be on an island all day with TJ… The guy was on an island on the strip-sack, one-on-one on the island, that’s your job. “You didn’t do it,” Watt said. “This guy two days, three days later, he comes out and says he locked up (TJ) the whole game, well no you didn’t, you would have won the game if you had locked him up all the time.” the game.”

New York head coach Brian Daboll confirmed immediately after the game that the plan was not for Eluemunor to be isolated against Watt, admitting that tight end Theo Johnson was supposed to contribute and help the right tackle on the sack play that secured the game.

“We had a tight end shift to pass to Watt, and we didn’t get the shift,” Daboll told reporters.

This episode is another embarrassing moment in New York’s dismal season, which has posted a 2-6 record for the second year in a row.
