Another battle to watch today that will be interesting is Justin Watson & Braxton Berrios.
Feels pretty much locked in that at least one of them make the team but will Berrios do enough as a returner to carry a 7th WR or just flat beat Watson out for 6th WR spot.

A interesting note from @LandryLocker that Nick Caley was in the booth yesterday vs the Vikings:
I didn’t notice this during the game but I’ve always thought it would be easier for a OC like to see the development of plays and defenses in the moment so I think it could be a
John Metchie’s first preseason game vs the Vikings:
8 Targets
5 Catches
45 Yards
69.9 PFF Grade
2.25 Y/RR
2 Missed Tackles Forced
Would you include Metchie on your 53-man roster as of now?
Texans Personnel Usage in Preseason Week 1 via NFL Pro:
11 Personnel - 62.3%
12 Personnel - 37.7%
11 Per. when in Shotgun - 96.6%
12 Per. when Under Center - 79.2%
There was plenty of each even while trailing including a decent amount of Jakob Johnson at FB/TE.
The Texans full Offensive PFF grades from yesterday vs Minnesota:
What stands out?
NICK CALEY’S IMPACT IN HOUSTON:
- The Texans were under center on 45% of their offensive snaps which would have been #1 in UC% last year.
- The Texans had 52% of their throws considered “quick” which is under 2.5 seconds, Stroud’s average TTT last year was 2.97.
- They were blitzed 17 times allowing a 41% pressure rate on the blitzes (average among NFL starters last year was right around 40-41%)
- The Texans allowed a 33.3% QBP on 36 total dropbacks.
Nick Caley has a vision for Houston.
The Texans signed Former Eagles DB Jalen Mills via @AdamSchefter
A very good depth option in the secondary who has dealt with some injuries so far in camp.
The Texans running behind Aireontae Ersery today via @PFF:
3 Carries
20 Yards
6.7 YPA
They averaged 4 YPC BEFORE contact on those runs.
The Texans full 10 play 74 yard touchdown drive today to open up the game:
I will go more in depth with this once All-22 drops but there is plenty to like here specifically from projected starters Aireontae Ersery & Jake Andrews.
