This OL makes 2002 look like the 1984 Redskins. At least all of those guys were legitimate NFL players.

RS has totally mismanaged the Duane Brown situation obviously, but that's not nearly the worst of it.

D'Onta Foreman is taking snaps away from Lamar Miller. I like this trend.

OL is still a big problem. More ineffective OL in place of TE doesn't seem to be the answer.

Goddamn it I hate fullback sets. And the team just reupped this mofo.

Full disclosure: I love fullback sets if there is a real chance you'll throw out of them. Apparently that's just not in the good book of the Texans, the BOBle.
