The thing is dedicating three players to one so totally screws up other aspects of your scheme that it has to be infrequent. But quadruple team is crazy. Watched the Texans this past weekend and Watt is still sackless but is consistently doubled. I hope Mercilus and Clowney buy him dinner every Sunday night.Nick Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280039610448626157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-57284427058241451032017-09-26T09:56:22.723-06:002017-09-26T09:56:22.723-06:00How often were the old defensive tackles like Merl...How often were the old defensive tackles like Merlin Olsen, Joe Greene, and Bob Lilly doubled and tripled?

I honestly cannot recall any defender getting thus type of treatment, nor have I seen it on old film of the greats. Mercelus and Clowney certainly owe him lunch.
