berlin calling Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 22 minutes ago, ET80 said: Tunsil was a top 3 OL in pass blocking per PFF. There was a five game stretch last season where Watson was hit once. Tunsil, Tytus Howard and Max Scharping made a huge difference. The narrative that the Texans OL can't pass block is as tired as the narrative that Lamar Jackson is a RB who throws the ball - it's been somewhat disproven. we'll see. they'll be tested against that front 7 that much is sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, this isn't the start of another long streak of no sacks. Howard is going to be tested early coming back from his MCL sprain that ended his season, so there's a chance it could be a challenge. This being said, this isn't 2017 when the Texans gave up close to 20 sacks in two games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I have Houston ending up with a top 10 draft pick so I don’t see them having any chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_is_the_best Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 It’s imperative that the Texans don't get out to a big lead. That seems to mess with BOB's chin or head or whatever. Keep it within 1 score & give Watson the last possession. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///mcompact Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The refs, more than likely. They have to get their flag tossing and whistle-blowing up to speed after no preseason games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The Texans have done a great job rebuilding that O-line. If they can get Tunsil past his false start yips then that 5 could dominate this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Chiefs. Andy Reid with a entire off-season to prepare is dangerous match-up. Unless they can run the ball on the Chiefs, the Texans are going to be in for a long day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their defense is above average, but I wouldn't call it anything close to Elite, personally. I think he's going for the jinx. However, our defense is better than given credit for. After Frank Clark got healthy and the team started playing more than thinking, they improved a lot. The first 7-10 games they were still learning Spag's defense. The second half of the season they were dominant. I'm not saying I expect that to continue. But historically, Steve Spagnuolo defenses are always at their best in year 2. Quote They gave up 24 points a game over their first 10 games in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s system before dropping to a league-low 11.5 points per game aver the the final six contests of the regular season... The Chiefs’ run defense had been pretty below average this season allowing 25th most runs yards per game at 123.9 yards... Kansas City’s defensive line has been playing very well recently allowing only 95.7 rush yards per game over the last three games, which ranks them eighth in the NFL. The Chiefs defensive line is lead by defensive tackle Chris Jones. Jones is the big man in the middle for Kansas City, leading the team with 9 sacks. Kansas City has the 11th most sacks in the 2019 NFL season with 45... The key to the Chiefs’ defensive improvement has been the secondary. Kansas City has ballhawks in their secondary, who have the fifth most interceptions in the league with 16. A mix of quotes from pre-week 17 and playoffs to give a rough idea of why there's optimism.
