Watt, an All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection, is the seventh player to earn the honor and the first since Troy Polamalu in 2010.Watt joins brother as the first pair of brothers to win Defensive Player of the Year. J.J. Watt won the award three times (2012, 2014, 2015), tied for the most in NFL history. The 2021 season was historic for Watt, as he finished with 22.5 sacks in 14 games -- tying Michael Strahan for the single-season sack record.Watt finished his 2021 season leading the league in sacks, quarterback hits (39) and fumble recoveries (three). He averaged 1. Eric Staal Jersey 5 sacks per game and finished with 12.5 sacks in the second half and overtime -- which also led the league. He's just the fifth player to lead the league in sacks, tackles for lo s, and quarterbacks hits in a season -- joining , J.J. Watt, , and . Watt's 72 career sacks in his first 77 games are the most by any linebacker in NFL history. His 0.94 sacks-per-game average is the highest in league history, as Watt and Reggie White are the only players to have 13-plus sacks in four consecutive seasons. Only Mikko Koivu Jersey White (nine), Bruce Smith (seven) and Kevin Greene (six) have more 13-plus sack seasons than Watt -- whose four 13-plus sacks in his first five seasons are tied with White for the most in NFL history.What Watt has been able to accomplish in his first five seasons has been historic, as his 150 quarterback hits over his first 77 games trail only J.J.

The 's 2023 schedules are likely to be unveiled this week, but every team's opponents for the upcoming season are already known. With that in mind, it's safe to say that a big part of the ' Minnesota Twins Jersey succe s or failure this fall will hinge on how well Todd Bowles' defense fares against young quarterbacks.Tampa Bay will play 17 games this fall, and it's reasonable to think that eight of them nearly half will be against quarterbacks with five or fewer career starts entering this season. That includes the three rookies taken in the top four picks of the 2023 NFL Draft two games against and , plus games at ( ) and ( ). Those rookies might not yet be starting when the Bucs face their teams, but Tampa Bay also has two games against and (four career starts), one against and (five career starts) and one against and (one career start).That's eight out of 17 against young, inexperienced starting quarterbacks, and it could be more. The Bucs actually face all of the first five quarterbacks picked in last month's draft, so in theory, they could see second-round pick whenever the come to Tampa, and le s likely third-round pick when they face .From a quarterback standpoint, the Bucs' 2023 season will be very different from 2022, and not just because Tom Brady has retired. Brady went up against some of the NFL's best quarterbacks last year, facing , , and . By comparison, you could argue that the Bucs will face only three top-10 NFL quarterbacks this fall, in , and perhaps .So given the relative youth of the quarterbacks they'll be facing, the larger question is this: How will the Bucs defense handle the opportunity to confuse/confound/ Fernando Rodney Jersey rattle an inexperienced pa ser? The answer has been a mixed bag in the past four years with Bowles running the Tampa Bay defense.From the middle of 2019 to the middle of 2021, this was a dream matchup for Bowles' defense, which won seven straight games against quarterbacks with 10 career starts or fewer. The Bucs beat , , , Hurts and Tony Oliva Jersey early in their careers in that stretch, giving up a total of 10 touchdowns pa ses against 10 interceptions in those seven wins. This is what you'd expect, with Bowles throwing multiple fronts and coverages and creative blitz packages against quarterbacks still learning how to read and proce s the defenses in front of them.Since then? It's not pretty. Since November 2021, with Brady at quarterback, the Bucs are 1-6 against opposing quarterbacks with 10 career starts or fewer, and that one single win needed overtime last year to beat and a team that would finish 4-13. These aren't all high Justin Morneau Jersey draft picks, with lo ses to players like Carolina's and 's . In going 1-6 in those games, the Bucs defense gave up eight touchdowns and managed one interception, that coming against McSorley.Now, you can affix an asterisk to some of these Bucs lo ses. The last one, against Ridder in Atlanta, came with the Bucs resting their starters in the second half (some more than that) because their playoff seeding was set. They lost to and last year, but more because came in as an injury replacement. The overall vibe remains intact.The Bucs' 2023 season will be largely played against younger quarterbacks. Of their 17 opponents, they're likely to have six games total against quarterbacks with 35 or more career starts entering the 2023 season: twice with , and , Allen and . Four games against rookies, four against very new starters, another against Fields, who is 5-20 as an NFL starter.It's counterintuitive, but in four years of Bowles running the Bucs defense, Tampa Bay is actually better against older, more Nelson Cruz Jersey experienced quarterbacks. Consider that 35-start line as a dividing point they're just 12-10 (55% wins) against quarterbacks with 35 career starts or fewer, and 27-17 (61% wins) against quarterbacks with 36 or more.If the Bucs are to contend for a third straight division title this fall, they'll have to find more consistent succe s against the younger quarterbacks who will be all over their schedule in 2023.Greg Auman is FOX Sports NFC South reporter, covering the Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers and Saints.

Coach Sami TrabelsiThe group stages have been concluded and the eight teams left are preparing for the quarter finals of the African Cup of Nations. For Tunisia, their second-place finish in Group C sees them up against Group D winners Ghana.The Black Stars have won the cup on four occasions with the last one coming way back in 1982, but are one of the tournament favourites alongside Ivory Coast and the Tunisians will have a huge task to qualify for the semi-finals.African giants Morocco and Senegal didnt even make out of the group stages, and that has placed Tunisia as one of the favourites. Shock troopers Zambia won their group, as did giants Ivory Coast. Co-hosts Gabon and Equatorial Guinea also made the last eight.In the group stages Tunisia won two out of three games, defeating North African rivals Morocco 2-1 and beating Niger by the same score-line. Losing to Gabon in the last game meant they mi sed out on winning the group and playing Mali instead of Ghana.Outside betThe Carthage Eagles were an outside Matthew Boyd Jersey bet to be victorious going in to the competition as many big nations mi sed out on the CAN2012, including Egypt (winners of the last three), Nigeria, Cameroon and South Africa. Commentators had looked at Tunisias squad however and seen a lack of experience and lack of players plying their trade in the top European leagues, unlike many of the other tournament heavyweights.In qualifying for the Sparky Anderson Jersey quarter final stages, Tunisia and Sami Trabelsi have proved their doubters wrong and despite losing out on first place in the group, they will take on Ghana in plenty of confidence having come away with six points.In the opening game with Morocco, Tunisia were dominated by their rivals in the po se sion department, but it seemed that this was Trabelsis tactical masterplan all along. Both of their goals in the 2-1 derby triumph were made through the counter-attack; the first goal made from a free-kick that was won from a bursting run from Zouheir Dhaouadi, the second was a magnificent dribbling piece of skill from the impre sive You sef Msakni. If it wasnt for a late Moroccan consolation goal the Tunisians would have come away with a clean sheet. The opening win gave the whole squad a confidence boost that carried onto the next game.Pace exposedThe second fixture of the group, another 2-1 win, was a difficult task. They came up against Niger who were hurting after losing the first game to co-hosts Gabon, and the impre sive striker Mou sa Maazou caused the Tunisian defence all sorts of problems. It was the first time that captain Karim Haggui and defensive partner Aymen Abdennour were exposed for their lack of pace at the tournament, and the extremely fast and powerful Maazou used this to his advantage. But in the end, it was Tunisia who got the points thanks to the ever reliable striker Isaam Jemaas strike in the last minute.The third and final game of the group came against Gabon who were ahead of Tunisia on goal difference at the top. Both teams had already made it through from the group but were vying for the top slot in Group C, allowing them to avoid the Group D winner which was Ghana. The eight changes that Trabelsi made to the Tunisia team proved to be his downfall as Gabon deservedly grabbed a 1-0 victory to send their pa sionate home backing into raptures. Tunisia were Travis Wood Jersey not at the races that day and will have to step up.Tunisias young hope: You sef MsakniMsakni influentialAnalysing Tunisias three group games Matt Moore Jersey , it is fairly simple to see what Tunisia have in abundance and what they lack in the squad. The 21-year-old You sef Msakni has been a superb player so far for the Carthage Eagles and will no doubt be talked about for years to come if he develops his potential. He has scored two fantastic solo goals in the tournament so far, both similar in nature. Both times he dribbled past several bemused defenders with intense skill, weaving into the box before slotting past the goalkeeper with ease. The Esperance playmaker will be pivotal in Tunisias chances of going all the way, as he has proved he can produce a piece of magic to unlock defences at any time.Tunisia have a very young squad, with limited experience in their ranks, but it could be an advantage. So far they havent shown their inexperience and have played quite cautiously, relying on the counter-attack whilst sitting rather deep, which has worked in two out of the three games played. They also look up to the team captain. Karim Haggui is the most experienced in the squad and has shown to exert his knowledge to the youngsters in front of him. He may have been shown up for a lack of pace in the Niger game but he can read the game very well and is a regular for Bundesliga club Hannover 96.Tunisia vs Ghana, Stade de Franceville, SundayWith tournament favourites Ghana up next on Sunday, it is without doubt their biggest challenge of the finals to date. Ghana have an impre sive arsenal of talent in their squad, with players from a host of Joe Jimenez Jersey top leagues. They do however respect Tunisia and know they are up for the quarter-final clash. Ghanas striking idol Asamoah Gyan echoes this belief, saying: It will be difficult against one of the best teams in this competition. But we will rise to the occasion because with the Ghanaian character, we will always handle the pre sure.With such a host of top talents like Gyan, Sulley Muntari, Andre & Jordan Ayew and John Mensah the Tunisian coach Trabelsi will have to pull off a shock to get past the Black Stars. A common tactic for the Ghanians is the counter-attack, so it will be interesting to see how both teams line-up and what tactics are deployed given the similar styles of Trabelsi and his Ghanian counterpart Goran Stevanovi.
