Very interesting!
According to his coach Ross played as a freshman at 323 lbs, and he thinks Ross can handle that weight quite well.
Even said that although he was 290 at the combine he's already back up to 305.
Options!!!

HOUSTON -- After Houston Texans rookie defensive tackle Ross Blacklock was ejected Sunday against the Ravens for throwing a punch, teammate J.J. Watt called it a "stupid" and "selfish" play.

"It's stupid. It's selfish," Watt said after the game. "It was a stupid play. It was selfish. It's something -- I mean, I've spoken to Ross before and so it pisses me off. It's a very selfish move. Late in the game, and it's dumb, very dumb to hurt your team in that type of setting for no reason."

Calm down JJ

 

No, JJ did the right thing. Call him out now....when Ross is just getting started.

 

Well at least JJ is honest.

 

I feel like there is more to this story. There must have been some incidents in practice.

Ross looks pretty busty right now.

 

I'm sure he practices hard. Plays hard. He just has to play better. Be coached better. It's still early in this season and he knows he has to play harder. He knows what he has to do.

 

dude has ZERO push at the point of attack. he stalls on contact. he doesnt have this "twitchy athletic force" to his game in the NFL. I dont know man. I didnt really like the pick to begin with and he's not helping himself by being a dummy out there with his "strong character" in only the 2nd game of his career getting ejected. The game is faster, the guys are stronger you need to either get stronger yourself or just get pancaked and roll over - the NFL needs JAGS too, but dont be a dummy on top of it all.

compare Blacklock to PJ Hall and its night and day - hopefully Russ figures it out.

 

Good guy. Great teammate. STD, BAF (bad at football).

 

Hold on hold on....Let me come to his defense...first of all we didn’t even see what happened at least I haven’t they didn’t show it on tv and we don’t know what was happening leading up to it...we don’t know what was said or done leading up to it.

Second of all the guy threw a punch wow big deal smh..fights happen all the time in the NFL...and I’m sure when it happens their teammates don’t try to humiliate them in the post games conference either that’s your teammate JJ you either stand up for him or just say you don’t know what happened. You can talk to him in person about how you feel your in the same locker room.

And lastly third of all that penalty did not cost us the game it wasn’t a huge turning point in the game.

And if you ask me we could use some toughness and grit on this defense.

Plus he’s from Mo City. Lol

 

Oh yeah, this is all true. Doesn't take away from the fact that he's been completely invisible so far, and I think that is where the frustration is coming from.

 

Now this I can agree with.

 

I’ll say this, it doesn’t matter what lead up to it, all that matters is what the ref saw. And you’re right, it didn’t lose us the game by any means but costing your team 15 yards plus getting yourself ejected for punching someone in the helmet has always been a dumb move.

 

I see no problem with his reaction here.

Orlando brown was trying to be a little extra physical after the whistle with Ross even when Ross was tied up with another player.

Good job Rook.

(And it looked like Brown threw a punch as well)

 

Big XII on Big XII violence?!

 

good job?! dude has got whooped and has shown next to nothing thus far. Nothing is good about it. Nothing.
