Watched highlights of Watt's pass rushing abilities on another site, and was VERY impressed with Watt's arsenal of pass rushing moves. First, on one play, he bull-rushed the LT right into Flacco, in about 2 seconds. Overpowered a 320 lb. player.
On three other plays, he used his hands to smack the tackle's hands down. He is extremely good at this. Very quick, forceful move, and the tackle's hands are down around belt level. Once the tackle's hands are down, Watt can either blow past him on the outside or bull rush, as the tackle has lost contact with Watt and literally cannot block him. Watt used this technique on the final play when he sacked Flacco.
Finally, on another pass rush, Watt smacked the tackle's hands down and then darted inside. He got caught up in traffic, but made an excellent interior move.
Watt used the bullrush almost exclusively earlier in the season. He is clearly learning and implementing additional pass rush moves, and just looks like a guy who will be a force rushing the passer with his technique and athleticism. Worries that he would be "just a guy"? Nope. He is a tremendous player right now, and getting better as the season progresses.
P.S. Here is the link showing Watt's pass rush moves.
