On to the Texans

[ncfan]

This game may bring us back down to earth, much better team than the Cardinals.

 

Key thing is going to be OL vs DL on both sides

Texans OL is probably the worst in the league (maybe only Miami is worse).  But atleast Tunsill helps on the Left side instead of Matt Kalil who was projected the starter in preseason.  Hopkins is still one of the top 3-5 WR in the league so it will be a test for Bradberry.  The others are what concerns me.  Djax's strengths always is his speed so if he makes a mistake he can recover. but Fuller is just as fast as him, so he needs to be on his A game.

Kenny Stills is a solid Vet speedster that should be a challenge for our nickel.  

They also motion guys around and put Hopkins in the slot which we saw the Bengals do last year with AJ green against us that bit us.

 

 

 

 

On the other side, we aren't facing Arizona again who had one of the leagues worst defenses.  The Texans front 7 is among one of the leagues best.

Per PFF the Texans have 2 of the top 5 highest graded interior DL in the league through 3 games.    And one of them isnt even Watt

 

 

 

The last 2 weeks:

Chargers (OL is pretty comparable level as ours)- they had 5 sacks and 12 QB hits

Against the Jaguars- 4 Sacks, 8 QB hits

 

This should be a low scoring game

Anyone else going?  Flying out Friday night.  Any reccs on things to do Saturday?  Staying downtown

I think Hopkins is the best wr in the league. If we don’t stop him it’s going to get ugly.

He will get his but I think (or hope?) Bradbury will have a quiet but nice day.

Dam that line is nasty, I’m hoping Ron starts that weird rotation of offensive linemen with Van Roten and Williams this time if Van is up to par. Assuming LT is secured by Little.
