I didn't even catch that. Imagine if he turns out to be a solid player after how annoyed we all were about that pick.

I would say our offensive play calling being so terrible plus Stroud setting the league on fire has made things 10x worse for Young from a fan's standpoint. I find myself watching Stroud and shaking my head at what could have been, but does Reich run this same Mickey Mouse offense for Stroud and does he look just as bad as Young if he does.

If he has our offense playing well enough to warrant him getting a HC job I think most of us would be happy. I would think that McCown or Staley could get bumped to OC or we could seek outside help (maybe someone else from the McVay tree) in that case.

He is going to light our secondary up.....

Something about them doesn’t seem as threatening. Maybe it’s just their history. They have to prove they aren’t the Lions of old which looks like they are starting to.

He went from a 0 to a 37. That's technically improving it's just still terrible....

Herbert puts up good stats but has been around 500 as far as winning goes. I'm not sure he would have been the savior some people think he is.

It's interesting because Burns being misused and Chinn not being used enough falls strictly on Evero. YGM growing also does in a positive way. He also has pieced together a banged up secondary to his credit. We probably need to trade Burns sooner vs later or his value could drop if we aren't using him right. Houston and YGM can bee our edges with a Haynes (coming back from injury soon) and Barno filling in. The Reich stuff is a complete mess. If he can't manage the clock he doesn't need to be worrying about what vanilla plays we are running. Let Brown do his job so he can be a better HC. He is simply not a HC than can handle play calling plus everything else.

Call me crazy but I don't think Detroit crushes us. If it was at home I might even go with us winning it. Miami will probably cook us, but overall we have hung around every game this year.

I honestly think Young is going to be ok when it's all said and done. My concern is and will continue to be (until proven otherwise) what we passed up in Stroud. His only weakness in college was handling pressure/going through reads which he seems to have no issues with at this level so far.

When that WR screen hits for a TD Reich is going to be soooooo excited.

Yeah the OL flex isn't a good one.

https://www.houstontexans.com/team/injury-report/ It looks like half of the starters didn’t even play.

I’m not writing off Mingo yet. He wasn’t the best pick for what we needed because he was still pretty raw, but he should have a good ceiling with his size/speed.

Lol you aren’t wrong….

His first down pass to Hurst was a kill play if I remember correctly.

If Thomas catches that or if Chark catches his slant Young puts up over 200 passing yards and a TD which is what a lot of us were wanting. Chark was fighting through contact at least but Thomas's drop was a complete blunder.

He is a young OC who learned directly under McVay. He also had a couple interviews for HC. What’s not to like?

I'm not buying that either. If we stayed put and didn't make that trade we would have zero chance at Caleb Williams. So it's not like we missed on him because of the Young trade.

Whispers “wide receiver screen…”

I feel like that’s on the play caller more than Young.

If it was a screen those are pretty much designed as a one read play. There is also like a 20% chance it was a screen.

I liked seeing him get mad. He also was hyping up his OL and offense on the sidelines at one point. If we are going to change this culture we need more players showing some passion like that.

We clearly thought we were a more complete team than we are. Switching to a 3-4 plus a whole new offensive scheme means we really have to retool our roster. Use that $30 million on several players plus get more players out of the draft picks. It’s nothing against Burns if we were making a playoff push I’d be ok with paying him but we have so many holes and positions that need upgrading.
