I’ll be one of the few who thinks it’s too early to give up on Nick Caley.
While obviously I’m not gonna sit here and act like the offense is good I think they have improved on some things they really struggled with last year.
Just please play your rookies and I think we will see progress.
Texans OC Nick Caley talking about the lack of motion usage so far this year:
“There’s some games we may use more, there’s some games we may not use as much and I think that’s week to week”
Texans OC Nick Caley was asked about their redzone playcalls from the 1 when they didn’t end up scoring:
“Called a low redzone play that we have a lot of belief in and it didn’t work out, again I feel confident in the process”
Texans rookie WR Jayden Higgins is averaging 2.31 Y/RR so far this year putting him 2nd among rookie & 1st on the Texans roster.
He is 18th league wide in Y/RR and the only Texans WR in the top 50.
PLAY HIM.
Jaguars RBs have rushed for 88 yards over expected in their first 2 matchups (1st)
The Texans Defense has allowed +0.12 EPA/Rush to opposing running backs this season (32nd)
The Texans defense will have to step up in the run game if this team wants to be anything this year.
(NFL PRO)
C.J. Stroud has targeted the short area of the field (0-9 air yards) at the 3rd highest rate this season (56.9%).
Justin Watson has aligned in the slot on a team-high 37/52 snaps (71.2%) where now Christian Kirk should slide into.
Don’t sleep on the impact Kirk can have on this offense.
(Stats via NFL PRO)
The Texans Dropback % with some responsibility for pressures by unit/position:
QB - 8.7% (25th)
OL - 73.9% (25th)
LT - 8.7% (30th)
LG - 26.1% (9th)
C - 8.7% (25th)
RG - 17.4% (T-14th)
RT - 26.1% (13th)
ITE - 4.3% (8th)
OTH - 17.4% (2nd)
There is some truth to the OL improvement at spots but good lord get Dare out of the 3rd down role when you have Woody Marks.
