Does the Offense need a new play caller? OB seems more predictable then even Kubiak. I have lived here in Houston a long time, Jerry Glanville was famous for forcing the offense into playing smash mouth football, and then in the fourth quarter using the Run n Shoot to get back into the game. Whats wrong in going 4 or 5 wide for most of the game? Oh, we are back at needing personnel that can block and guys that can get open (or at least stay healthy enough to get on the field).
Looking forward to FA and the draft yet again.  |
First off we ran out of WRs so it's hard to fault O'Brien for not fielding 5 WR sets. He is obviously in love with using TEs on a roster with no good ones, but by the middle of the year we didn't have 3 NFL level WRs.
Our CBs are terrible. Either the front 7 gets home or we get toasted. Joseph, Johnson, and Jackson could all be replaced by street FAs and nothing would change. Letting Bouye go is the worst non-qb move we've made.
We will never have an average number of QB hits and sacks until Watson learns to throw the ball away. Our OL is not good, but he's impossible to block for because he isn't playing QB like the rest of the league. The only QB to start all season and hold the ball as long as Watson (over 3 seconds) is Russell Wilson and he is sacked the 3rd most (62 to 51). Dak Prescott holds it far shorter and got sacked almost (56) as much as Watson. We need to block better and that won't happen until we get better players. But we'll never be under 50 sacks until Watson gets the ball out quicker. We could have the Ol from the 90s Cowboys and he'd still get sacked 50 times holding it this long. We either need to accept the sacks or change how he plays. Both are not possible.
