On to the Texans

This game may bring us back down to earth, much better team than the Cardinals.

 

Key thing is going to be OL vs DL on both sides

Texans OL is probably the worst in the league (maybe only Miami is worse).  But atleast Tunsill helps on the Left side instead of Matt Kalil who was projected the starter in preseason.  Hopkins is still one of the top 3-5 WR in the league so it will be a test for Bradberry.  The others are what concerns me.  Djax's strengths always is his speed so if he makes a mistake he can recover. but Fuller is just as fast as him, so he needs to be on his A game.

Kenny Stills is a solid Vet speedster that should be a challenge for our nickel.  

They also motion guys around and put Hopkins in the slot which we saw the Bengals do last year with AJ green against us that bit us.

 

 

 

 

On the other side, we aren't facing Arizona again who had one of the leagues worst defenses.  The Texans front 7 is among one of the leagues best.

Per PFF the Texans have 2 of the top 5 highest graded interior DL in the league through 3 games.    And one of them isnt even Watt

 

 

 

The last 2 weeks:

Chargers (OL is pretty comparable level as ours)- they had 5 sacks and 12 QB hits

Against the Jaguars- 4 Sacks, 8 QB hits

 

This should be a low scoring game

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
