Sean Pendergast - NFL Week 4: Texans-Colts — Four Things To Watch For:

Quote:
3. Luck in a ten yard box
Andrew Luck is not vintage Andrew Luck right now, not even close. If you watched the Colts play the Eagles last weekend, you saw a noodle armed QB that looks a lot like Peyton Manning did in his final season, getting by on guile, guts, and brains. Luck is 31st in the NFL with 5.84 yards per attempt, and any ball he throws longer than ten yards downfield has a noticeable amount of air underneath it. The Texans cannot let Luck chip away underneath like they let Eli Manning do last week. The good news is that the Colts don't have intermediate threats anywhere in the neighborhood of Odell Beckham and Sterling Shepard, nor a running back remotely close to Saquon Barkley.

2. Offensive line
Rewatching Texans games is a downright depressing process right now, not only because they're losing games, but when you watch this offense, you feel like (a) there is no solution to get the offensive line to even play mediocre (mediocre would be a massive upgrade right about now) and (b) there's a chance you might see Deshaun Watson die on the field this season. As impossible as it may seem, the offensive line is worse than it was in 2017. Somehow, some way, they have to find a way to give Watson time to throw — when he has time, he is deadly — and not make the likes of Jabaal Sheard look like an All Pro. (NOTE: Sheard had 5.5 sacks last season. THREE of them came against the Texans.)


1. Encore, Watt
J.J. Watt looked like he was back to his old self the first two games, but the stats on the box score weren't there to back it up. Last Sunday, they were. Watt made the Giants pay for starting a first-timer at right tackle (some dude named "Wheeler"), with eight tackles, three sacks, and three tackles for loss. For now, it looks like the it's 2014 all over again, where the weight of the world defensively is on Watt's shoulders. Sunday, he will be, once again, going against an offensive line versus whom he should feast....

------------
PFF HOU Texans
@PFF_Texans
J.J. Watt has an overall grade of 91.0 and a pass-rushing grade of 90.0. Both grades rank 3rd among DE's.

This weekend, he'll matchup with Denzelle Good, who earned a grade of 44.6 (76th) and a pass-blocking grade of 23.4 (74th) against the Eagles.

Watch out for Watt 👀 #Texans

10:17 AM - Sep 27, 2018

SPREAD: Texans +1.5

A gift! Colts center has a bad snap and the Texans recover the loose ball in the end zone. Clowney on the recovery, I think.

I was just screaming at my TV. I'm seriously ready to quit being a fan. We're 0-3 and we don't call timeout because we're playing for a tie while 0-3. Gutless, pathetic, embarrassing, pick your adjective.

I think he didn't call a time out because he is a moron and is horrible at in game management.

And Frank Reich lets us off the hook with an all-time bonehead play. Whether we win or not our lack of Timeout no longer matters.
