Thats something that I really do hopr the Texans begin to do on a regular basis, evern if they dont through deep but 2 or 3 times a game, have Bradford of Johnson go on a deep route every 3rd pass play or so, so at least you have that option. It would really spread the D and give DD more room to run in the middle.

You need good protection to go deep in the NFL. That is something expanson teams generally don't have. As our talent evolves so will our ability to exploit the entire field.

until you have the overwhelming talent or scheme to take what you want, you take what the defense gives you. if that means 3+ yards and a cloud of dust, outlet passes to davis, slants to gaffney, or post to johnson, you take what the defense allows.

dont get me wrong, i was starving to see the deep bomb myself at least 2-3 times a game ,but those are not high percentage plays even when the defense isnt looking for it. now the threat of it is another story all together...
