Giants OT sends clear challenge to Steelers star TJ Watt: ‘I want to be on an island’

TJ Watt is the straw that stirs the drink for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ pass rush, but Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor isn’t intimidated by Watt. Eluemunor has faced Watt three times before and has experience against him, but in this game he will be hoping to take on the challenge with confidence.

Eluemunor, who is questionable to play with a groin injury, even said he would happily stay on an island with Watt without any help at his side.

“I’m the most confident guy in this locker room,” Eluemunor said. “I think you can see that in my play this year. I want to be on an island with him all day.”

After the Giants lost starting left tackle Andrew Thomas for the season with a serious foot injury, Eluemunor has been left on an island in recent weeks. With an inexperienced left tackle that’s what happened, but now that Watt has seen as many chips as he has in his career, it seems unlikely that will happen this week.

If that is the case, the Steelers should see Watt have a significant impact on the game. He had two sacks against Eluemunor last season when they faced each other and Watt is on the cusp of a big game.
