Slowik and the offense

How does Slowik and Strausser still have jobs this morning?

This lack of accountability situation is becoming a major issue. You get what you tolerate.

* The photo of CJ and Slowik reminds me of the saying, a picture is worth a thousand words. CJ has checked out on Slowik. This is headed for divorce court. CJ can’t leave yet, but if there aren’t major changes next year, you can bet your bottom dollar, he’ll just hold out and sign elsewhere in FA.

So.. what do you think we can get for Stroud in the off season?

🤣😂

What besides firing Slowik would you do?

BTW, Stroud isn't going anywhere.

I think you meant, what's the OC supposed to do? IMO, he has call plays that offsets the OL weakness, do things to keep the defense off balance., etc. What he can't do is continue down the same path that is getting his QB blown up or continue to have his tendencies identified by opposing coaches or players on the field.

I also seriousely doubt he leaves....but if the Texans continue to treat him like the pinata at a child's birthday party...I'm just saying he could exert some influence over his destination. There's no law that says that he has to sign an extension. Could be a sign and trade scenario so the Texans get some compensation. Again for the record, this is an extreme longshot and I'm not suggesting it's likely. Only that it cannot be 100% ruled out.

I don't know for sure I'd fire Slowik. Maybe. But I'd definitely try a different play caller, and let Slowik take a back seat for now. None of the in-house options excite me, but Jerod Johnson, Ben McDaniels, or Bill Lazor are all we have available. I seriously doubt the idea of bringing in someone from the outside in-season- with the one exception I've mentioned. Which is bringing in Kubiak on a consultant basis. He wouldn't call plays. He'd be a big picture guy trying to ascertain what is going on and make recommendations. I also doubt this happens either. This franchise rarely thinks outside the box, and of course, no idea if Kubiak would even have an interest.

Beyond that, I don't know what you can do in week 12. I'll let guys way smarter than me make the call. I don't need to be an expert mechanic to know when my car's engine is misfiring and running poorly.

I don't understand why Broeker hasn't been given an opportunity at guard... or RT. He looked excellent in the preseason playing out of position at RT... And, why the hell isn't Blake Fisher playing one of the tackle positions? I guess it could be injury related, but it sure seems like Demeco and company are insanely stubbornly resistant to make personnel any adjustments during the season. I guess player accountability ceases to matter after Labor Day.

Oh, and I would bench the f*ck out of that wet noodle: Schultz.

I believe Fischer was/is out due to concussion. Hopefully he gets a shot when he's healthy.

Slowik tends to gets complete tunnel vision on offense with his play calls at times. I think Schultz is soft ass ****, but he didn’t even get a target until late 3rd, early 4th.

Dell has disappointed this year with too many drops, but it seems they only call plays for him when he’s running deep, long developing routes on the outside or all the way across the damn field..which are extremely tough throws and take time.

Where’s the quick hitting stuff..where’s the intermediate stuff. Why the hell is every pass off play action unless we’re in a spread of

What if Slowick is doing what you're asking for but his QB is playing at a different speed? What if he's reading the defense & predetermining where the ball is going to go & not letting the play unfold?

How could you tell if it's the playcaller or the QB?

Slowik is dead man walking. Even if Meco doesn’t agree, Hannah has the pulse of the fans and right now a large majority of the fans want a change. Bobby is a nice guy. I like him personaly and wish him well…but his time is done here. Time for a change.

I don't see it. They knew Slowick was a work in progress when they hired him. Slowick just needs to convince them that he is in fact getting better as a play-caller (which is only part of his job).

He says two Nico Collins touchdowns were called back because of penalty. He goes into detail about the last one, illegal shift... then he goes to the play caller? That was squarely on the guy who snapped the ball or the guy who told him to snap the ball. Not the play caller.

???????? Your comment doesn't make sense to me. You have Mixon and the WR in motion. How is this on the Center? Who tells the Center to snap the ball? It's the QB. So it's possible he made the mistake. But who is the play caller? You mean on the the sideline or in the huddle? Who was suppose to be in motion? The way I figure it, it was the other guy who screwed the pooch.

On the illegal motion play that resulted in a TD being nullified, CJ has stated it was his fault and it was due to his miscommunication in the huddle.

The Texans need to go outside the building for the new play caller even if it means surviving Slowic for this year. I would look for an offensive-minded ex-head coach.

I'm not sure if I'd want to dump Slowik. Just get him some full-time consultant help now who could also provide an evaluation after the season...anyone know what Chucky is up to these days?

Oh..kay? I thought the quarterback called a play and the players responded correctly as they have practiced? According to this, Stroud calls the play and then wiggles his ears or points his index finger at the player and says " hey you! You are the one that goes into motion and you the other guy doesn't!"

Wait.. I just realized that it cannot be the earwiggle as the helmet would block that from view.
 
It appears to me that Slovik does little planning based on study of upcoming opponent's defensive history. Looks like he plans the plays on his playbook without cocern for the talent of the defensive player that will be involved where the ball is going. Every team has a weak spot and a strong spot so by this time of year we should know the weak spots to exploit.
 
What makes you confident that the second-half issues, one touchdown in six weeks, isn’t the norm and is still abnormal?

Bobby Slowik: "The tape. We see we are close. We believe in the process. The process is sound. The players believe in the process. It will manifest itself." #Texans

Bobby Slowik said it isn’t a change from opposing defenses adjusting to them at halftimes.

He said their second halves have been littered with bad football.

He says there is belief they’re close to carrying over some of their success from first halves.
