First half was a joy to watch. Can't find myself saying that too often.
Osweiler still holds the ball a bit too long, but I doubt this is a long-term problem and hopefully just symptomatic of being in a new offense. He had a couple really nice throws today. Savage looked better with the better players around him. He is developing into a premium backup. Not sure his ceiling is all that high, but he will keep a good offense moving. Alfred's probably a really great guy (& willing ST contributor), but his time on this team should be nearing its end. Ervin & Hunt are still very appealing options to me. Nuk breaking ankles - er, non-contact ACLs - always entertaining though sorry it was a devastating blow for the DB. Saw the AZ media claiming the turf had something to do with that poor injury. Uh, no. For a rookie, Fuller is rather impressive. He is single-handedly changing the dynamic of the offense and has proven his is more than a deep fly threat. He's run a couple outstanding routes. And the occasional drop doesn't bother me given the threat he is on every other down. BMiller and Strong are serving terrific complementary roles, too. The Texans wheeled out the RB a couple times too like they would with Foster, and this has possibilities as well. Should Anderson develop into a seambuster, this passing offense could easily be the best we've seen in 15 years. OL blew a big assignment, and considering who's on it right now I suppose lapses aren't too surprising. Running lanes were tough to come by today, but that's a pretty solid defense (albeit missing PPeterson) to face. Defense obviously misses Watt. I was happy at how well Clowney did though, especially vs. the run. Seemed Clowney was doubled and a couple times triple-teamed. Got a feeling the Cards gameplanned that just to ensure their guys stayed healthy. Couple missed tackles but the first half D was hitting hard and flying all around today. Whatever ailed Lechler at the end of last season is now a distant memory.

The speed is obvious, and Osweiller throws the deep ball much better than he does anything else on a football field. We've never had that element, and it should open things up a ton and give the playcallers a huge variety of options since the defense has to cover the length of the field on ever play.

It is nice to see the medium and long passing game. Os and the receivers doing well with the speed.
Running game, I don't see any RB doing very good, some credit to OL and opposition defense on that. Hard to evaluate in the games so far. No rhythm possible. Some tough cuts starting tomorrow at 4 pm. I enjoyed going to the game. Some observations http://m.houstontexans.com/s/30862/e...6-e1a6513a7e7d Last edited by Nconroe; 08-29-2016 at 01:41 PM.
