The Texans only have one deep threat right now (wears #80 and the defenses put their best corner on him) until either Martin or Posey show they can be trusted. I am curious what type of coverage Holliday would get if you lined him up in the slot and asked him to run a "go" route straight down the field.

Would a safety/nickel fall back to cover him or would they presume he is a decoy and not bother? It would be worth it just to see if he got behind the coverage and, if so, go back in the second half with a deep ball to him and see if he can catch it. If the defense has to respect him, it means they can't cover AJ with safety help like J-ville did.

You can try that wrinkle on a team like the Ravens who are tough to gain yards on but aren't especially fast and see if it works for a cheap touchdown.
