Official Texans @ Jets Game Thread, 12/15/2018

[HPF Bob]

Accuweather (warning: contradictory term) predicts it will be in the low 50s and cloudy (not rainy) for kickoff. That's a huge break. However, I don't think the Texans have ever won east of Washington DC so there's that problem.

Denver came into MetLife thinking they could steamroll the Jets and were down 17-0 before they knew what had happened to them (that was with Darnold out-throwing their coverages). Houston has to avoid the trap game slow start.

Allen (Buf) proved you can QB run these guys to death - not that I want that for Watson but he should be advised to pull it down and take off instead of holding the ball too long. Quick release timing routes are also a good idea with guys like DHop and DT able to win the 50/50 passes.

Keyvon Webster is back this week from IR and D'onta Foreman should help the tired running game.
