The Texans full Offensive PFF grades from yesterday vs Minnesota:
What stands out?
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.
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.
Texans had 7 players with a 70+ PBLK Grade who had 5+ PBLK Snaps via @PFF live grading:
Austin Deculus - 87.5
Jaylon Thomas - 85.3
Eli Cox - 81.7
Woody Marks - 81.5
Jawhar Jordan - 78.8
Aireontae Ersery - 77.7
Jake Andrews - 75.0
Zero combined pressures for these 7 guys.
E.J. Speed is my Texans standout defensive player of the week!
92.1 PFF Grade (Subject to change)
2 Tackles
1 PBU
90.7 COV Grade
2 Run Stops
Speed can potentially earn some snaps this season for Houston
Demeco Ryans credits the Texans first offensive unit & specifically the OL for the play today.
Very clean operation from that unit today.
