WR catch rate: Texans

[76Texan]

Interestingly, when I used the Play Finder feature at Profootball Reference .com , it showed that the Patriots QBs completed 2 fewer passes of 20 yards or more than the Texans' from 2007-2012.

321 to 323

Well, well, well. The numbers get more interesting.
There are very few teams in the league that are better than the Texans.
Granted, we don't know how many of these passes are shorter passes that the receivers/TEs/RBs turned into longer gains; but if the results are good, what's wrong with that?

The only four teams with a better number are:
Dallas 341, GB 337, SD 335, and NO 353.

Yeah Brady really doesn't seem to heave it down the field as much as many act (or I should say the media acts). He did one season with Moss and was 10th out of 27 on the guys I broke down for 2012. Course with those tight ends and Welker in the slot I guess he doesn't have toss it down there much and it gives those outside guys easier matchups.

Flacco on the other hand...bombs away. Can't say that guy doesn't trust his arm strength, heh.
