I saw several plays where Franklin was absolutely demolished by a blocker. DL is partly to blame for not keeping the LBs clean, but he got manhandled all game.

That sums up my thought pretty well. I think we saw how important Downs is to this offense and how much we missed him. He's the guy that consistently got open on the short to intermediate routes and that part of the passing game was definitely missing today. Considering how talented their QB and WRs are, I agree. I think some of the issues in coverage today were more from a schematic issue than on-field execution, but definitely room to grow for the latter.

We need to cause a fumble....

They're talking about the other play where AD was running free up the right sideline and AR missed him.

I mean, you'd complain that we didn't send pressure on an obvious passing down.....

SO BAD! It's been constant. That would have been a sack had he not been held.

About time they get called for a holding. They've been doing it all day, especially in the run game.

Franklin has been almost nonexistent too. He's been getting eaten up by OL getting to the 2nd level.

Wait, I didn't realize Nate Ollie was Asst DL coach for the Texans now (saw him on the sideline). Looks like Ron Milus' son is a defensive assistant and Chris Strausser is their OL coach too.

Had he put both of his arms up to try to get the ball, he wouldn't have touched it. He only got the 1 hand on it because reaching with one arm allowed a farther reach. It would have been nice for him to bring it in to 2 hands, which he tried to do, but it's not as easy to do that when you're fully extended like that.

The Texans' WR group is really good, so them struggling is to be expected to a degree. Hopefully they can settle in and keep getting better as the game and season progresses. Has nothing to do with Frank and everything to do with Tepper. That team is doomed unless he adopts a more hands off approach.

It went as it should have, but yea, definitely a mess.

Everyone that immediately got up in arms about AR's accuracy after the INT, he was accurate on the pass. Granson slipped.
