JJ Watt claps back at Giants OT’s TJ Watt’s controversial comment: ‘What are you doing?’

On Tuesday, New York Giants offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor said TJ Watt did nothing against him when they faced off on an island. Aside from “one impact play,” as Eluemunor said, Watt was shut down for most of the game.

“I was on an island with him for most of the game. And he didn’t do anything. I’m not going to sit here and sing his praises,” Eluemunor said on WFAN Radio. I did everything for three and a half quarters and had one impact play.”

Watt had six pressures and two sacks in the game. Eluemunor said before the match that he wanted to be on an “island” with Watt. The comments reached JJ Watt, who was on the Pat McAfee Show during his weekly appearance. JJ hit back at Eluemunor, whose comments seemed downright strange to him.

“I mean, what are we doing here, man? What are you doing? You gave up a strip sack and lost the match,” JJ said. “Before the game this guy says, ‘I want to be on an island with TJ.’ TJ goes there, seven tackles, two sacks, forced fumble, strip, and wins the game. Guy was on an island during the play. One-on-one on the island, that is your job. The most important play of the match: you didn’t do it.”

It’s no surprise that JJ is backtracking on Eluemunor’s comments. TJ went big after the match, saying it was more about competition and appreciating everyone’s challenge.

However, Eluemunor saying he shut down Watt for most of the game is simply not true with the stats mentioned above. He clearly made a difference in the match.
