The BRB gang watch the Texans’ regular season finale and have some choice thoughts about the game.Read them here."It seems difficult to
believe that a team that started so poorly this year is not only going to the
playoffs but will host a home game in the Wild Card round.But the Texans are.It
seems difficult to imagine that this team would reel off nine straight wins in
some of the most screwball ways possible.But the Texans did.It seems strange
that this would all happen with essentially the same team (save for Deshaun
Watson) who won all of four games last year.But that’s what happened for the
Texans.So
Joel Heath Jersey White , here we are ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the playoffs.May our stay be long and enjoyable and full of fish.This also means
at least one more Hair of the Dog this season, so let’s get through this
one.That way, we can dream about the Texans’ playoff possibilities.On to the
dog.As always, in finest Hair of the Dog tradition, all swear words have been
replaced with the word [kitten] to make this post safe for work.And because
children might read this and while I don’t particularly care if children learn
to swear, I know some of y’all might, and I’d rather not get letters about
it.Enjoy!Pregame ThoughtsMDCtGCUTKenneth L.MDCUT (to tGC)tGC (to UT)WestonFirst

RushTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Mitchell Leff/Getty
ImagesThe Texans’ pass rush was decent last year. J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney
were destroyers, a torrential onslaught, world devours from week four on, but
the rest of the pass rush was lackluster. Whitney Mercilus played out of
position and didn’t get to the quarterback. And the rest can’t rush the passer.
Joel Heath, Brandon Dunn
Johnathan Joseph Jersey , D.J. Reader, and Angelo Blackson who will now make $4 million a year to not get to the quarterback, are rats glued to traps when
the quarterback drops back to pass. Despite Watt and Clowney’s great 2018
seasons, the Texans finished 22nd in pressure rate at 29.6%, and had 43 sacks,
ranking 13th in adjusted sack rate. Now that it’s 2019 season preview season,
and the Football Outsiders Almanac has been released, Football Outsiders is also
releasing other statistics from last year. They recently published more
information on pass rushes specifically. You can read about pressure by number
of pass rushers here and defense and pass pressure here. Houston rushed only
four pass rushers 60.6% of the time (25th)
Womens Ka'imi Fairbairn Jersey , and created pressure 32.2% (10th). Once again, Watt and Clowney were awesome last year. Houston had a DVOA of 6.7%
(12th) when they rushed four. They blitzed five or more 22.4% of the time and
had a pressure rate of 42.9% (17th). This seems low for a Romeo Crennel defense.
I’ll have to go back and dig through old books and see if this is an aberration.
They were 26th in defensive DVOA when blitzing, which also sounds low
considering Benardrick McKinney’s ability to blitz, and some Clowny dive bombing
sprinkling in, but this is what happens when Shareece Wright is your CB2. The
other interesting type of blitz analyzed were defensive back blitzes. Houston
blitzed defensive backs 9.8% of all snaps (13th) and had a DVOA of -51.4% (4th).
I’d assume this can be attributed directly to Kareem Jackson. The other article
breaks down the Texans’ defense with and without pressure. Houston’s DVOA was
-76.3% with pressure (6th), and 40.9% without pressure (19th). The discrepancy
of -117.1% was the 6th highest in the league. Once again, the Texans’ secondary
was bad last year, and they were picked apart when Watt and Clowney weren’t
getting to the quarterback because no one else could. All in all
http://www.thetexanslockerroom.com/authentic-ka_imi-fairbairn-jersey , the stats back up a lot of what we said around here last year. Yet, the eyes can
only see so much. Houston’s defensive back blitzes, front four pressure, and
lack of ability to generate pressure when rushing four or more was
surprising.
