State of the Texans OL

From what I understand, Klein's ability to read an offense is right up there with Kuechly.  Aside from that, I think their o-llinemen are going to have their hands full with our front four.  They've almost all been moved around, and new players are in the mix.  It may look like we did during that unmentionable stretch last season.  Expect a ton of errors and confusion along that o-line.

Agree in this, Luke's first step and ridiculous athleticism set him apart. Klein is a very good MLB and would start on quite a few teams right now.

Their offensive line was in disarray last week due to injuries and poor play, the end result was 5 sacks and numerous QB pressures. Now it seems that the Texans will be without All-Pro LT Duane Brown and their top TE. This is causing the Texans to shuffle almost the entire line. RT Derek Newton who was used and abused last Sunday will now be the starting LT. They picked up Oday Aboushi off the streets Wednesday and it appears he will start at LG. Also appears that they will be giving journeyman Jeff Adams his first career start at RT. Given the fact that Mallet is one of the slowest QB's in the NFL, this could be the matchup that makes or breaks the Panthers.

I'll update the OP if any changes are made.

 

Edit: Guard Xavier Su'a-Filo has been ruled out.

where do you get your injury information? i get mine from rotoworld and they didnt have Su'a-Filo missing the game. Nor did the Texan's official site depth chart have the new guard starting.

not saying youre wrong. i just didnt include this information in my week 2 preview and now im kicking myself. haha. i'll fix it tomorrow. too tired to deal with that ish right now

Oday Aboushi is inactive today. I'm sure I'm probably missing one, but by my count that's only 6 healthy linemen.

I haven't counted.  At least with Velasco, we're up to 8 again, but none of our backups are really tackles.  Gotta hope Remmers & Oher can survive the whole game against Watt.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
