3rd pre-season game vs Giants

Is this the 'final' game for any Texans player? I do not expect much time on the field for starters in the next preseason game. But Demeco must want to see the better backups get majority of snaps.
 
This will likely be the last preseason game for any starters that have their position locked down and have been healthy, but it wouldn't surprise me if Will Anderson or Lassiter take a series in the final game just to shake the rust off. (Assuming they're not playing tomorrow.)

The final cut down date is August 27, but teams usually make a first pass or two before that date. I have a feeling Caserio has his eyes on a few players that may be cut from other teams as well. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a handful of players brought on before week 1.
 
No starters will play next week. They’ll get their work in in next weeks joint practice with the Rams.

I would like to see them play most of the 1st half in this game, at the very least. Yes, I get the injury risks, but this is football. Injuries can happen anytime anywhere, whether it’s a meaningless preseason game, a practice during the week, or whatever.

I just think it’s important to get live, real tackle, game speed reps in before the season starts, especially when they won’t see those reps for 3 weeks after tomorrow’s game. 3 weeks!! That’s a long f’ing time of not seeing any live, real tackle game action.

The joint practices against the Rams will basically be the last pre-season tuneup or the starters. I'd imagine some backups will play, but mostly guys fighting for roster spots.

nope...im just hoping that we cut the fullback position and use that roster spot for Brevin and the TE Skowronek to fill the Hback position...i dont think we need beck at all

I agree . Some time ago, I discussed using Jordan as a fullback. I like him and Skoronski filling multi roles successfully.
 
Gonna be hard to score even with these wr threats if the run game is producing 1 yard per carry.

Hopefully its just the RB and not the blocking.

Go ahead and put in a different RB and lets find out. Pierce definitely isn't it. He needs to be in a different system.
 
Take aways 1st drive

Brevin Jordan’s a wr. He can’t block
Receiving core legit
Pierce can’t make defenders miss
Cj looks good

Gotta say, Pierce is NOT running with confidence. I don’t think he can turn this around anymore.

I've noticed in this game and the last he hasn't attempted to run left behind Green and Fisher who are both better run blockers. I'm wondering this is less about Pierce and more about Slowik wanting to evaluate the right side of the line.
