The Texans just got embarrassed. If you are getting schooled by Jack Del Rio then you really need to re-evaluate what you're doing.
The play calling on the first drive was absolutely mystifying. The quick passing game was working beautifully. Then the Texans line up in a formation that screams run and the CBs literally abandon their coverage responsibilities at the snap to swarm the LOS to stop the run. Next down? Same thing. Third and 14. That's great. If I know with 80% accuracy what play the team is going to run by looking at their formation, what do you think a defensive coordinator who watches 60 hours of tape per week thinks? It's mind boggling that after six years and two regimes this is still a junior franchise with no hope offensively because of little talent and clueless coaching.
The defense was pretty good. I was very impressed with the push the front four is getting. It IS the Jags' OL, but still.
