The Texans Team as a Whole

[SaltAndPepper]

Thought this was an interesting article about the Texans as a whole. Sure, Stroud as been amazing, and is worthy of the praise given to him, but let's not get it twisted. This is NOT the same texans time that went 3-13-1. Kudos to Ryans.

"Every receiver is exceeding expectations."

Of course it helps when your rookie quarterback is a cyborg, but the Texans’ receivers are giving major bang for the buck of late — and there isn’t a single one you’d consider a Top 10 guy in a neutral situation. Third-round rookie Nathaniel “Tank” Dell is the most explosive receiver on the list, catching six passes of 20 or more air yards on 12 targets for 213 yards and three touchdowns. When you have a receiver who can just scorch defenses with speed like this… well, you get why Stroud loves this guy downfield. Carlton Davis of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is probably still recovering from the filthy stutter move Dell put on him on this 29-yard Week 9 touchdown. Dell is more than just a straight-line speed target.

Tight end Dalton Schultz, another former Cowboys target who signed a one-year, $6.25 million contract with the Texans this offseason, has become another force in the Texans’ passing game. Schultz is an expert at presenting a favorable target to his quarterback, as he did on this 31-yard catch against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. This was a two-man route concept with Xavier Hutchinson running the vertical seam route on the left side, and Schultz clearing New Orleans’ deep Quarters coverage from the right.

And then, there’s receiver Nico Collins, who’s especially good at finding voids in zones, and making contested catches when a defender is matching him anywhere on the field.

It's a good demonstrator of how drastic our situations are. They could not be more night and day.

It's a clear as day their roster/staff was much more equipped to plug in a rookie QB than ours was/is.  To top if off we drafted one that requires us to completely chance our scheme which makes it even less ideal.

could have signed dalton Schultz over hurst. Hurst's cap for next season is 10 mil to make 2 catches per game

Not only do they consistently have high picks lwhich they trade away), the players they draft go elsewhere after a few years.

I've been a fan of Schultz since he was with the Cowboys.

If Davis Mills was under center for this same Texans team they’d be lucky to have 2 wins.

Good QB play makes everything around them look better. Bad QB play makes everything look worse.

Stroud had 3 turnovers last game and they still won against a tough Bengals team.  That's typically a sign of a solid roster.  Stroud is no doubt making them better because he is playing out of his mind, but the point of the article is to also compliment the staff for putting this team together so quickly.  Ours made our roster worse than when Rhule was here...

They may have all that but their receivers and tight ends are no Thielen and Hurst.
