Since sacks became an official statistic in 1982, Watt is the first player since Kevin Greene in 1998 to have multiple sacks in each of the first four games of a season.

If Watt can register at least 1½ sacks against the New York Jets on Monday night, he'll be one game short of Michael Strahan's NFL record of six in a row with multiple sacks. During his six-game stretch in 2001, Strahan had 14 sacks on his way to the league record of 22½.

“You love the fanatical effort,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said about Watt. “The guy plays with his hair on fire. The size (6-foot-5, 295 pounds), strength, athleticism — it's rare to find a guy with that kind of combination. “Obviously, if you have a vote for defensive player of the year, how do you not give it to that young man? He's been absolutely tremendous.”

Even Sexy Rexy is giving Watt some praise and he's coached some of the best defensive players during his time coaching in Baltimore and now the Jets. I'd sure love to see him make a run at Michael Strahan's single season sack record of 22.5.

I had this fucking nightmare last night, and it seemed so damn real.

I was sitting on my couch, watching MNF, and we got the ball first and scored a TD on our opening drive. We stopped the Jets on their first offensive possession, 3 and out, and we got the ball back and drove it all the way down the field and missed a 35 yard field goal. The Jets got the ball, scored a touchdown, and then they shut us down on defense, got the ball back again, scored a field goal, and were up 10-7. On our next offensive possession, Schaub threw an interception and the Jets regained possession.

At this point, I woke up in a cold sweat thanking the lord that it was just a dream, and the Jets didn't really have a 3 point lead over us. God damn.

The Texans defense has been preparing for both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow in practice. They've been lining up Owen Daniels (6'3 and 250) at quarterback since he's as big as Tebow (6'3 and 236). He actually used to be a quarterback as a red shirt Freshman at Wisconsin and played in three games at quarterback. I'm ready for the game on Monday Night. I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow... Watch the Falcons and Redskins game, maybe the Patriots and Broncos game? Even the Cowboys have a bye week.

HOUSTON – The Houston Texans set out to solve two issues Wednesday, cutting return specialist Trindon Holliday and signing linebacker Barrett Ruud in the wake of Brian Cushing's season-ending injury. Kubiak said fourth-round draft pick Keshawn Martin will take over punt and kickoff return duties, an area where he excelled at Michigan State. The 5-11, 190-pound Martin ranks second in school history in punt return yards (659), eighth in kickoff return yards (1,100) and 10th in all-purpose yards (4,013).

"You've got to hit it and get it on those things," Martin said. "I've got my opportunity now, so we're going to see where it takes us."
Martin has been working "heavily" on returning kicks for the past month, Kubiak said, and now he can make that his sole focus, with receiver Lestar Jean healthy again. Jean has missed the last two games following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last month.

Backup running back Justin Forsett and starting safety Danieal Manning also have experience returning kicks, but Kubiak said Martin is his first choice.
"Hopefully, he can give us a boost, get us going a little bit," Kubiak said.

Notes: Kubiak said RB Ben Tate (toe) practiced on Wednesday and is expected to play on Sunday. Tate sat out Monday night's game.
