News broke Tuesday that Houston Texans star defensive end J. Scarpe Air Max Flair Scontate .J. Watt may be lost for the season with a back injury, so what does that mean for one of the leagues most dominant defenses? We can quantify Watts bottom-line effect on a game by comparing the Texans expected points added (EPA) per play when he is on the field to their EPA/play when hes not.Since Watts rookie year in 2011, the Texans defense averaged minus-0.06 EPA/play with Watt on the field, and minus-0.04 EPA/play with Watt on the sideline. (Negative EPA is good for defenses.) That difference of 0.02 EPA/play equates to about 1.2 points per game based on Houstons average of 62.4 snaps per game. Those 1.2 points per game would be roughly equivalent to 4 percent win probability each game. So at first glance, Watts absence would be significant, but not necessarily fatal to the Texans playoff hopes.But Watt was not an every-down player in his first year and a half in the league, and his performance found a whole new gear starting in 2013. Since the start of the 2013 season, the difference in defensive performance with Watt on the field and off the field is a whopping 0.09 EPA/play. That equates to 5.6 points per game or roughly 20 percent win probability!There have been only 194 snaps without Watt since 13, so consider the 20 percent win probability number as an extreme upper bound of his impact. That kind of effect on win probability is what might be more typical when a team loses an elite quarterback to injury. But if any single defensive player can have as significant an impact on his teams prospects, it might be Watt, who is both a preeminent run defender and pass-rusher.Air Max Outlet Italia .ca NFL Power Rankings, overtaking the Denver Broncos and remaining ahead of NFC competition San Francisco, Carolina and New Orleans.

"I was fortunate to play many years at this level with a great organization and unbelievable teammates," said Hejduk in a statement. MILAN -- It was meant to be the match where Mario Mandzukic showed he could be more than an understudy to Gonzalo Higuain this season.Instead, the Croatia forward again appeared off form and disinterested as Juventus labored past Palermo 1-0 in Serie A on Saturday.This was the first time the duo played together in a tactical experiment that appears to have failed. Juventus looked thoroughly unimpressive.Their job was to give options to the midfielders and I think they played well, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said. They didnt link up much between themselves, but thats normal given their attributes. They worked hard and sacrificed themselves at the end.Juventus found it hard to break down a resilient Palermo side, and the only goal came about thanks to a slice of fortune for Allegris side three minutes after the break. Dani Alves long-range effort took a massive deflection off Edoardo Goldanigas heel, sending the ball past Palermo goalkeeper Josip Posavec.Mandzukic netted 10 goals in his debut season at Juventus but has been overshadowed since Higuain arrived from rival Napoli for an Italian-record fee of 90 million euros ($99 million) in the offseason. He has yet to score in six matches, including four starts.In Sicily, Mandzukic again failed to impress, wasting a free header in the first half and seeing a tame effort saved in the 70th, when he should have done better from close range.The former Bayern Munich forward did have the ball in the back of the net moments later but he was offside when Dani Alves free kick was floated in. Video replays showed Mandzukic should have left it for Alex Sandro, who was in a similar position but onside.Mandzukic, wwho played only the final 10 minutes of the midweek 4-0 victory over Cagliari, started in last weekends 2-1 defeat at Inter Milan, but Juventus looked much more threatening when he was replaced by Higuain with a quarter of an hour remaining.

Im very happy but results matter more than this. We are high in the table and thats whats important. ' ' '
