HOW LANE JOHNSON SHUT DOWN J.J. WATT | EAGLES FILM ROOM

The Eagles kept their playoff hopes alive on Sunday with a huge win over the Texans, but one of Houston's stars failed to shine. That man was J.J. Watt, one of the NFL's most ruthless pass-rushers. How did the Eagles stop him? Let's take a look...

I’m not surprised. When Lane is fully healthy, he is thee best RT in the game. Last season he shut down Khalil Mack, Von Miller and DeMarcus Lawerence twice. All had zero sack games against him. Von had a sack but it was when Lane was on the sideline.

I was at that game. The energy in the Linc was nuts. I lost my voice and loved every second of it. Love your content. Keep it up!

[logangodwin]

He really has stepped up his game. He's a huge key player

[jamezfly]

The way Johnson gets out of his stance is so clean man. And my boy Jason Peters as well

[ABitefLife]

Can’t even imagine lining up across for Watt. Sheesh

[bradleyslusser]

Lane is finally looking healthy. A good sign if we make the playoffs.

Johnson played with a high ankle sprain and a by bad knee most of the season.

[lcota]

We need some of this against Mack on Sunday!

[BerryMckHawkener]

Bro Lane is my dawg but that first block on the redskins in this video was a straight up hold 😂

[joshuawilliams]

I've been waiting for this video.

[dden-qzym]

Lane is legit. Best right tackle in the game for years and the dude has always played through injury.

[Jay-wqep]

I think the main problem with JJ Watts technique is that he reacts to early and once he does Johnson is able to use his body to block JJ and has the advantage, for JJ to get a sack he needs to be patient and wait for Johnson to make the first punch then swipe his arm down, for a better explanation I recommend watching Brett Kollmann’s video on how the Green Bay packers get away with holding on every play

A THUMBS UP ON THE SUMO ACTION
IN THE PIT.

Honestly I was looking towards this game when the schedules came out, wanted to see Peters and Johnson against Watt and Clowney, but unfortunately Peters went out of the game early

[itschuga]

Really good film rooms man keep up the good work

[hamhockbeans]

Watt is heading for the Hall of Fame but many should remember. Lane is a elite Pro -Bowl/Super Bowl champion RT.

[jonathanhimes]

Another great video, Love the content bro!

[rkipphorn]

I would add two points. We've made an effort to increase the frequency of runs later in the season. It's easier for the O lineman to attack than to constantly be attacked...and Foles, who has been more decisive, is moving well IN the pocket, and is getting rid of the ball more quickly, which are all factors that are helping the guys up front do a better job.

Lane “The Great Wall” Johnson about to put the smack down on those bears.

[dashien]

So many incomplete passes but Johnson is a beast
