Preseason - TEXANS @ New England

[Carr Bombed]

Stroud needs to relax. He looked panicked on that last play.

Needs to take a Xanax pill, luckily he has a defense this year..

 

[DanielTx]

There is no way I would put Stroud out there (supposed to be franchise qb of the future) with on the bubble guys as an oline to protect him...thats just BAD

Yeah makes no sense at all. The playcalling looks suspect as well

 

[TexanBorn51]

well with that line protection thats exactly what he's going to learn

2 series no more imo

 

[austins23]

This defense already LOOKS faster than last year

 

[santo]

Probably shouldn’t play the second and third string oline in the first quarter lol.

 

[TexanBorn51]

Deefense!

 

[Brisco_County]

Mills leading the next series.

 

[76Texan]

So we have three of our starters out .

On the line, yes.
Also, Scruggs was only beginning to take first-team rep.
In another word, this group of Olinemen was probably playing together for the first time.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

2 series no more imo

No, this is invaluable experience for Stroud, but Mills needs reps too.

 

[Carr Bombed]

Stroud's first preseason grade.. F, but everyone on offense gets a F too.

 

[sprtsfanatic]

Probably shouldn’t play the second and third string oline in the first quarter lol.

exactly!! talk about setting up for failure..thats just ridiculous...u wanna give him confidence put his starting oline out there so they can get some timing down for 2-3 series then pull them....this **** show of an oline is ridiculous

 

[Mangler]

Patriots are bringing the pressure. They have a decent D, and this isn’t out starting OL. He needs to take a deep breath and just play ball.

It’s that simple. I wonder why CJ or the coaches have not thought about that?

 

[KA4Texan]

well with that line protection thats exactly what he's going to learn

That's why I wouldn't leave him out there long.

 

[santo]

exactly!! talk about setting up for failure..thats just ridiculous...u wanna give him confidence put his starting oline out there so they can get some timing down for 2-3 series then pull them....this **** show of an oline is ridiculous

Yep. He looked good in spurts but the oline looked like crap at times.

 

[Mangler]

Stroud's first preseason grade.. F, but everyone on offense gets a F too.

F? More like F minus….

While I agree, it's also good to know how he will handle the pressure.

Better to learn now than regular season.

 

[TexanBorn51]

again OL

 

[Brisco_County]

Mills faking out the defense with his eyes, stepping up in the pocket, finding his TE. That's the difference between college and NFL experience.

 

[Number19]

Stroud's first preseason grade.. F, but everyone on offense gets a F too.

He played like a rookie taking his first game snaps.

 

[austins23]

Who is the Oline coach? Hope we don’t have to bump our gums about this all year. But they look bad so far and I know, I know “second string, whatever!” They are still getting coached aren’t they?

 

[TexansFan15]

Mills faking out the defense with his eyes, stepping up in the pocket, finding his TE. That's the difference between college and NFL experience.

I like Schreck as the 3rd TE. He’s had a decent camp so far.

 

[Xopher]

Okay folks. It was a good season. See you next year.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Stroud's first preseason grade.. F, but everyone on offense gets a F too.

Maybe it's a bad idea to let the opposing defensive tackle run by the guard and sack the rookie QB on his first EVER NFL possession for a 15 yard loss and 2nd and 25.

 

[Carr Bombed]

Deiter sucks..

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Mills looks good, minus the low throw to Tank.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

NFL Network doesn't believe in providing replays. I thought Tank should have caught that pass.

 

[austins23]

Mills looks good, minus the low throw to Tank.

That was 6 to Dell. Just a bit off the mark

 

[TexanBorn51]

OL opened the hole RB

 

[Brisco_County]

What a punt. I swear we must have the best punter in the league.

 

[Carr Bombed]

I smell a defensive TD coming.. seems like the only way we're going to move the

 

[austins23]

NFL Network doesn't believe in providing replays. I thought Tank should have caught that pass.

I thought the throw was too far to the sideline. If That throw is in the field of play that may be 6

 

[Number19]

Mills looks good, minus the low throw to Tank.

That pass to Tank almost looked good. Can't figure why a better effort at the catch wasn't made. Will have to review later.

 

[austins23]

I smell a defensive TD coming.. seems like the only way we're going to move the

I smell coming from the Oline play so far

 

[Mr teX]

1st reps folks chill out on the grades. His pro bowl LT wasn’t playing, stud RB either…. everyone on the O is also still learning a new o etc…etc.

That Defense is looking right tho..…

 

[Texansphan]

Yeah makes no sense at all. The playcalling looks suspect as well

They ain't gonna show any real stuff in the pre season.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

It's going to take some time bro to establish an offensive identity. These kids need time and experience.

 

[Brisco_County]

Everyone upset about the O-line while the real ateocity is not getting to play my Spencer Tilman drinking game.

 

[Carr Bombed]

He played like a rookie taking his first game snaps.

Not all rookies.. still a F, but like I said, everyone got a F. Hopefully we see improvement next week.

 

[Carr Bombed]

Maybe it's a bad idea to let the opposing defensive tackle run by the guard and sack the rookie QB on his first EVER NFL possession for a 15 yard loss and 2nd and 25.

Read my post about that.. that's why everyone gets a F..

 

[TexanBorn51]

To'oTo'o yep

 

[austins23]

My Boy To o to ot!!! He’s fast

 

[sprtsfanatic]

I thought the throw was too far to the sideline. If That throw is in the field of play that may be 6

bad miss by mills, had tank wide open. should have been 6

 

[Carr Bombed]

I understand that, today they failed..

 

[austins23]

bad miss by mills, had tank wide open. should have been 6

Thats what it looked like to me.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

I understand that, today they failed..

Not at all. This game is invaluable.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Sims needed to pick up that punt.

 

[Decim8]

Damn was hoping stroud would stay in for another series, wanted to see him with more reps

 

[sprtsfanatic]

My Boy To o to ot!!! He’s fast

he's got some GREAT football instincts and IQ and it shows...will be interesting to see if he makes the starting lineup

 

[Xopher]

Thats what it looked like to me.

I'd like to see a replay. From what I saw live if it were a little more accurate it would have been 6, but I think it should have been caught.
