Texans claim CB Jason Allen

For whatever reason, our defense sucks major ass. This is after spending a lot of high draft choices on it. Is it the coaching? Is it the front office drafting mistakes?

Whatever the **** it is, it's getting old. Teams just march up and down the field on us and all we ever hear is "We're gonna change **something**".

I can tell you what **something** I'd like to see changed. :pissed:

Pretty much.

His only game is hitting the **** out of people. With the new rules, that has been watered down.

Kind of like when they told Roy Williams he couldn't horse-collar people any more.

Its always good to have an enforcer on your defense though, and Pollard fits that well.

For the most part it is the same guy= Gary Kubiak makes the calls on draft day. There was a hint shortly after the last draft that the war room was split over drafting Tate rather than Toby Gerhart.

I'd be shocked to see him in a Texans' uniform next season.

When I read that my chin hit the floor. Time to move him to Will LBer. PLay Nolan at SS. 7 tds is WAY too many. I don't see how a t guy working at Wal-Mart could do worse than that. Un freakin believable.

Or they can get back to playing the downhill fast style we played last year..... let the back end take care of itself....

If the offense can become more consistent & put drives together, the defense would be may have more success, similar to what they had last year.

This playing scared stuff we're doing isn't working. Let's get back to what worked.

How do you "target" a safety? How do we know some of those TDs they are crediting toward Pollard, aren't really on some other guy for blowing his assignment? Or vice versa for that matter. I don't trust stats like that. What I trust is what I see on the field, which is a defense last in too many catagories. Better start turning that around come Sunday is all I gots to say.

2 different d-coordinators, a couple of different position coaches & gerber-age babies at cb.....................all this, & we basically still have the same issues we've had since before Kubiak. Do you really still think its bush?

Yeah. Cause even with sub standard talent, we wouldn't look this bad with a decent coach.

maybe 1 or 2 of those TDs aren't exclusively on him, but too many times this year i've seen pollard leaning or flat out cheating some other way looking for a certain route in zone coverage & by doing that he's widened a hole that should've been squeezed down had he just played honest. The best example of that is Nick's 2nd TD in the Giants game. I truly belive he thinks he's quicker & faster than he really is b/c that's the only reason why you would continue to do that crap.

That may be, maybe he feels like he has to "cheat" a little to make up for our young corners? Or maybe he just sucks, I dunno.

you sure about that? last year with better cb's & no real key injuries, we looked alot better as a defense...not stout, but way better than we look now. All of a sudden this year, we're terrible & only 1 thing has changed from last year....Cb's.

Did you know the Texans are ranked 10 in rushing defense?

I'm sure that has something to do with everyone throwing on us. Like the Colts are 5th in pass D because everybody (but us) runs on them.

Yards per attempt, we allow 4 yards per attempt. Just like the Ravens.

Just thought that was interesting.

But there are absolutely no adjustments being made. Thats coaching. Our whole D stands in place until you snap the ball. We blandly rush four and drop everyone else in coverage. Or we run a blitz package that my nephew can see a mile away. We lack talent, thats true, but we don't adjust our game plan based off of the players we have.

pretty easy decision for teams to make don't you think? test the 32nd pass & the 25th sack defense or run the rock aganst the #12 run defense :chef:

What adjustments can be made to stop Okoye from getting owned in the middle?

What exactly can you do from an adjustment stand point to get these guys to tackle better & close out on routes faster?

Disguising doesn't do much to help in that dept...especially when you're playing against the likes of a Manning & Rivers. They suck on defense mainly b/c they don't have enough guys who can get it done & b/c they don't have enough talent to dictate anything to the offense. Outside of mario, who else commands a double team/chip on the D-line? Who of the Lb/Db core does the quarterback try to avoid when the throwing the ball? the answer is nobody. There just aren't enough guys winning their 1 on 1 battles consistently, & that is talent moreso than scheme.

Correct...sometimes I think we over-value our players on this team b/c we are fans and we tend to think we know them better since we follow them. Then after a season or 2 we start to slide over and see them for what they really are with a few exceptions. Every player that comes into the NFL won't be a star but the coaching MUST work with the players on development AND game planning. When it doesn't work something has to give and sometimes both (players and coaches).
 
he is showing to be inactive today

guess they couldn't dumb down the scheme quick enough

:sarcasm:


actually I am impatient right now for some kind of spark in the secondary
and ...oh never mind
