Horrible effort by the LBs once again. If we are seeing this many broken tackles already, then I'm scared for the rest of the game again.

 

These zone D's only work if you have sure tacklers. In this second half of the year, the LBs and Safeties have been awful at it.

I made this point last week, but a talented and well schemed/coached defense does not give up 3 points on that drive with some of the 3rd down and distances the Raiders were facing.

 

It seems like they leak points when unnecessary.

They are sending way too many rushers on 3rd and long. There is no need to do that.

It’s just weird to me that every time just checks down 24/7 against us & still somehow marches down the field.
 

Man the RB & zone the rest if needed

Minshew  did not help his line at all on that last sack. He waited way too long to snap the ball, trying to get cute trying to draw them off sides and that allowed The Raiders pass rush to tee off on the snap.

 

He also airmailed MPJ on the 2nd down throw.

 

Bad series there by him

I will say our LBs are overrated but it’s been an issue for the last two seasons where we let check down players gain 10+ yards. That’s a scheme issue. 

That’s scheme more than anything, and it’s because Bradley’s scheme plays so softly that guys are frequently 3-5 yards away from their man.

At this point, put Sam in. Hell find Painter, Minshew is out of gas this season

I don’t mind the throw away on 1st. It’s better than him forcing something. 
 

I don’t like the high passes & his delay in getting the ball. When QB’s do that it gives the defense a better opportunity to time up a sack

    • Yeah, Ebukam almost looks clumsy next to Latu. He's just so fluid.
    • Did Hou actually get that much better? This really does remain to be seen. I am of the opinion that the signing of Diggs is a signing that has been made about 2 years too late. He won't be bad, but he isn't a top 10 WR in the NFL anymore. I wouldn't put him as any more dangerous that Pittman, so WR's are a push. We have the better RB, Mixon is great and all, but he is not JT. We have the better Oline, and it isn't even close. TE's are a push, we have a lot of upside, but until it is realised im very "meh" on our TEs. QB - I would argue that Stroud is probably more likely to regress to the mean in year 2 vs improve. That rookie season of his was a bit silly, and they had an easier schedule last season too. If he really does build on last year and get even better, then our entire discourse here is probably irrelevant as we will have another Mahomes level QB on our hands to deal with in the AFC and within the AFC South no less. So unless Richardson is also a Mahomes level talent in that scenario, we are done for anyways. To me, our success in this coming season comes down to 2 groups on this entire team. 1. The QB (because... duh) 2. Our DBs. If we even get average play from the DBs, I think this team has the ability to win the whole damned thing (supposing Richardson stays healthy and is what we all hope he is). I would also argue that Houston are paper thin. If they lose a OL starter, Mixon or even one of their starting WRs.... they have a very big drop off. And injuries happen in the NFL. Just sayin...
    • If he wasn’t fast enough or athletic enough anymore for linebacker, then he’s not going to be able to cut it at Safety where speed , quickness, athleticism are even more important.    Wish it wasn’t so…. 
    • could he be another bob sanders at that position?
    • Man I love me some Maniac, but it won't happen, and he's too slow after his surgeries.
