I'll bet the guys that developed the S2 and own the company are concerned that CJ is making the basis of the whole company product inaccurate, or BS.

Demeco needs to make sure he’s got someone close to slowik learning so he has a viable future replacement.

Will isn't commending anything. I think he's finding out you can't just overpower NFL oline players. He has work to do

Part of that is due to the Steelers defense trying to cover for an inept offense and offensive coordinator.

Yep, it's not even close
Tunsil only had 1 penalty in 2021. He had a down year last year and kind of a bad start to this year.
Definitely need to load the box and make Ridder beat you. Bijan Robinson is the real deal.

No he's not. No team is doubling or sliding protection

He is quickly finding out you can't just bull rush in nfl

Occupying and running into are separate thing.
That's all I've seen him do the last 2 weeks. Maybe JJ spends some time with him and gives him some pointers. Unfortunately, WA is light in the pants for a DE with his hand in the dirt. He needs to learn double, and triple moves to get the win on pass rushes.
I wonder if the game plan was to keep Pickett in the pocket. I mean he's no Monatana, but he was only successful when he got outside & "made" stuff happen. In the pocket, he was a big zero.
Grenard's sack was on a play Pickett broke contain, he was able to disengage from the block & roll up on Pickett (poor guy).
He only throws to one receiver, which is Pickens. Once he was neutralized, Pickett hard a tough time finding other receivers.

if Demeco has not already thought of that he is probably not the head coach we need.

Not only the division this season, Stroud will dominate the AFC South long term like Manning did. We're watching rare talent.

Talk of the Texans being division winners and making the playoffs is understandable but let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Steelers offense was inept and that was due in large part because of bad play calling. The Steelers ran the ball fairly well and had a great deal of momentum when they were in our RedZone and rather than run the ball on fourth and less than 1 ytg they tried to be cute and pass the ball. It backfired and gave our guys huge momentum. Overall the Steelers made our defense look better than it was.
I am happy with the win and I like the culture being built but we can't be completely satisfied. Some early poor officiating worked on our behalf as well.
Taking advantage of our opportunities is something our guys wouldn't do in the past so that is something to be happy about.
My only point is that the dynamics of games change and other teams will play better and our guys can't look past anybody. They must play better.
The Falcons lost to the Jaguars and we beat the Jaguars a few weeks ago and we can't overlook the Falcons. It could easily become a trap game.
The potential is great but like CJ said in the press conference the team must not get too high or too low. There is a lot of work to be done.

I'm thinking the Texans will see former Texan Taylor Heinicke. To which I say, "So what?"
He has a pretty good rip move; not elite, but fairly effective
Also, on the pick by Nelson, Anderson was in there for the pressure.

He was doubled this game. Not ever play but some.

As a pass rusher he will be running into blockers.
The energy in the stadium today was intense. There was lots of black and yellow that came in making lots of noise. They were pretty quiet on the way out.
This team has looked legitimate the last two games.
The JJ Watt ceremony was very moving.

He's big enough, it's just the bend and counters. He's bigger than Von Miller. He's close enough to Bosa too. The player from North Carolina, his name slips me, but he was a high end rusher with Rams, Cowboys, and Bears and Anderson is bigger than him. Hell, he's the same size as Greenard. It's going to take some time, and that's cool. Dylan Horton made some plays today too.

He was trying to bull rush, but the Steelers weren't chipping or doubling him.

I did see him pressuring the QB, which may have been Demeco's main priority. It makes a big difference against a QB like Pickett.
They did a few times; one time with both the RB and the TE, besides the RT.
I counted him with at least 3 pressures.
Not great, just a decent game.

That's great, however, it doesn't mean you can't get pumped up about the Texans dominating their opponent for a 2nd straight week.
Sure, everything you said about the Steelers is true, but the Texans have plenty of problems too. Their USFL level o-line had no business making guys like TJ Watt a nonfactor yet here we are. The Texans run game has been nonexistent, boom, there's 139 for you.
Sure, next week will be another challenge that can go however the ball bounces. The parity in this league means any team can beat you on any day. But damn man, after the dark days we've had around these parts are we not allowed to get a little excited for not just 2 wins, but 2 dominating wins?

They never ran at 51. When he moved to the right side they ran the other way. Withe 2 minutes left in the first half he was tripled teamed. I think he did well

Experts were wrong! Game was not close. And the Texans won!!! 30-6 but the game was not even as close as the score.
Congratulations to JJ Watt!!

I saw that. They had all different protections for Anderson.
Right, there might have been about 5 minutes, to start the 2nd half, where the Steelers were "in control" but other than that, Bulls on Parade.

Based on a long spell of losing and being doormats I can't argue with your logic.
I did state that one of the things I liked is how these Texans took advantage of opportunities as opposed to choking when they were presented.
I feel much better about this team now than I have in.a long time.

The MCL is confirmed but an MRI will be performed tomorrow. Hopefully, it doesn't also show an ACL tear.

I’m with you man…wanted to build the defense and OL and wait till next year for a QB…man I’m so glad to be wrong!

And that's the thing when making predictions. LOL. Whether by skill or luck, the Texans got the prize this year.
I do feel sorta bad for Panthers fans though. I mean, F them we are keeping CJ but....
To imagine moving up to #1 and taking Young. Thats gotta hurt.

Considering they are still learning how to play in the system, CJ is still a rookie (but damn he looks good), the OL is playing what 3rd string as starters... I would have to say that we are EVERY team we plays "trap game". Unlikely that we will be favorites in almost any game this season. But, keep on this path and let the team make it through a season and grow together, and another good draft...and look out in 2024-2025 season!!

Not sure if that was meant as a shot to Cal’s wife but I, on the other hand, give credit to her for what we have going on right now with the team. Seems like she had a hand in it.

Trevor Lawrence struggled his first season. It is hardly time to write off Bryce Young. Some players need a little more time than others. It is hardly time to place a verdict on Bryce Young.
