The Texans Team as a Whole

"Every receiver is exceeding expectations."

Of course it helps when your rookie quarterback is a cyborg, but the Texans’ receivers are giving major bang for the buck of late — and there isn’t a single one you’d consider a Top 10 guy in a neutral situation. Third-round rookie Nathaniel “Tank” Dell is the most explosive receiver on the list, catching six passes of 20 or more air yards on 12 targets for 213 yards and three touchdowns. When you have a receiver who can just scorch defenses with speed like this… well, you get why Stroud loves this guy downfield. Carlton Davis of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is probably still recovering from the filthy stutter move Dell put on him on this 29-yard Week 9 touchdown. Dell is more than just a straight-line speed target.

Tight end Dalton Schultz, another former Cowboys target who signed a one-year, $6.25 million contract with the Texans this offseason, has become another force in the Texans’ passing game. Schultz is an expert at presenting a favorable target to his quarterback, as he did on this 31-yard catch against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. This was a two-man route concept with Xavier Hutchinson running the vertical seam route on the left side, and Schultz clearing New Orleans’ deep Quarters coverage from the right.

And then, there’s receiver Nico Collins, who’s especially good at finding voids in zones, and making contested catches when a defender is matching him anywhere on the field.

It's a good demonstrator of how drastic our situations are. They could not be more night and day. 

It's a clear as day their roster/staff was much more equipped to plug in a rookie QB than ours was/is.  To top if off we drafted one that requires us to completely chance our scheme which makes it even less ideal.

could have signed dalton Schultz over hurst. Hurst's cap for next season is 10 mil to make 2 catches per game

If Davis Mills was under center for this same Texans team they’d be lucky to have 2 wins.

Good QB play makes everything around them look better. Bad QB play makes everything look worse. 

Stroud had 3 turnovers last game and they still won against a tough Bengals team.  That's typically a sign of a solid roster.  Stroud is no doubt making them better because he is playing out of his mind, but the point of the article is to also compliment the staff for putting this team together so quickly.  Ours made our roster worse than when Rhule was here...

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
