Wonder why Lovie didn't want to play him?

When are the Texans playing this game?
Shhhhh. You're going to give away Lovie's competitive advantage.

The Broncos running the Shanahan WCO made Peyton Hillis a star for a couple of years.

The bridge between stupid and useless is short.
Careful there or you may rightly get yourself banned for blasphemy.

My Cowboys friend was texting me like "Who's this Pitre guy? He's amazing!" Had to explain we've been waiting for that performance all season.
And Lovie finally turned him loose

Only took them 2/3 of the season to figure that out.

About time! Pitre doesn't play big enough to play in the tackle box as SS. Had me doubts he could be a good cover guy, but he's showing that ability and he can really lay the wood on smaller receivers and let his A+ instincts for the game take over! Clearly this is where he belongs.

Just another example of Houston coaches playing guys out of position.

In all fairness, Pitre was known for making plays in the box in college and less on his coverage skills. Makes total sense why coaches used him this way to start his career. However, Pitre was getting bounced often in there and was certainly a big part of the horrible run defense we've had all year. Players in the NFL are bigger and stronger than college and I guess it took time to figure out Pitre was overmatched playing at the LOS... Thankfully, looks like he's got great instincts for the ball, hands and cover skills so looks like a long term guy at FS has been found.
Can't fault coaches at all here though. Just took time to find this out.

As with all college football players the coaches just play them where it is best for that team not necessarily what is the best position for the player in the NFL. Petrie should not have been playing in the Box for Baylor either.

I'm not at all liking this coaching staff. But this seems like a bit of a nitpick. I mean, sometimes it just takes time to find out where a player is best suited to play. At least they got it right. And wasn't Pitre an All-American defensive player at Baylor? I think he was suited just fine there. Just not so much in the NFL, which has been remedied.

I think that Pitre will show himself in another way. When I watch him play, it looks to me like he needs to be given more room to play. That's just the way it looks to me.

Not very long at all.
He was great playing there in college. This is not college.

yes he is a free safety who despite his small size brings the boom. It is like wasting a cover corner playing zone..
Lovie figured it out after only 3/4 of season; now that's a defensive guru.
I've watched two and felt instant shame and regret upon the realization I had wasted my afternoon on such a garage product.
Unfortunately I will admit I've watched much more Houston Texans football than I should have.

I watched maybe the first three games all season. They’re just so uninspiring that I outright avoided the games and watched mainly Red Zone which can make you feel even worse watching other competent teams and coaches.
