Texans stayed toe to toe with them in the 1st. Roberts muff was a killer.
Taylor continues to impress. He makes very few bad throws.
7 different receivers caught a pass last week, 9 different receivers caught a pass this week. I know there’s some around here who like spreading the ball around, but then you see that Cooks has 34% of the targets through 2 games, so is it really getting spread around? I’m in the camp of wanting the better players with the ball more, BTW, so I really don’t have issues here.
That said, I think that you really need to have more than zero of those other 8 guys who caught a pass all not having 2 or fewer.
2nd half, injuries started taking their toll, particularly the one to Taylor. Sucks that Nico couldn’t last past his 1 catch.
O-line made Garrett a total non-factor. Pass pro was good.
The run game still has issues. 2.9 YPC is not good. Hell, that’s much worse than they were getting last year.
Defense played well, for the most part, the secondary in particular I thought. Again, for the most part considering Baker completed 90% of his passes. Several times Baker was holding on to the ball, holding on to the ball, and that’s because he had nowhere to go with it. Of course, them losing Landry was a big deal.
Injuries and the Browns just being relentless running the ball, finally took its toll.
The Texans come out 2 weeks in a row looking prepared. Props to the coaching staff for that.
Culley did have his 1st real WTF moment when he declines a penalty that would have given them a 3rd and 10, but they take a 4th and 2 instead. Even if you’re plan was to go for it, which they didn’t, you still take 3rd down over EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. So instead of replaying 3rd, the penalty is declined to make it 4th down and they punt. Total brain fart.
