Just Want A Title Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 This is well deserved recognition. It will be interesting to see what the ceiling for James Houston will be. He has only been playing since week 12. Clearly, he has pass-rush skills and could be the type of player who would be a good "mobile QB spy". He could also be the type of player that could erase screen passes. I am looking forward to seeing what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 His stat line is funny. He has 1 tackle this year that isnt a sack according to PFF (2 solo and 1 assisted per ESPN). Also I didn't realize that PFF didnt include sacks in tackle numbers which is odd. He does have the second highest grade on PFF on the team for the season behind only ARSB (the #2 WR behind JJ).

A lot of people reference PFF but sometimes their scores don't accurately the performance of a player. At least it seems that way to me. The best case scenario is if he develops into something close to Hassan Reddick. Edited January 5, 2023 by Just Want A Title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF definitely isnt an end all be all but its something to add into the evaluation of a player with stats and eye test. Houston's stats per the number of snaps/games he has played sounds about right. He isnt an every down DE, he comes in for rush downs and he performs well on those downs. Thats what PFF's grade tells me. We don't know how he will be if pushed into an every down role but as far as what he is asked to do now, he is doing great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnivolcm Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 The only unfortunate thing about James Houston is we cut him and put him on the practice squad. He's only on a two year contract instead of a four year rookie deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
