2019 ClutchFans Mock Draft - Texans 2nd Round

That’s the type of players Gaine scout, being that he’s from the Parcells tree. Bigger, faster, stronger.

 

Respectfully, you might try looking at the actual players Buffalo drafted in 2017 and that Houston drafted in 2018 and then compare them with the next player drafted at the same position instead of listening to rhetoric. The actual results show, if anything, a slight preference for nominally smaller, and slightly less athletic than whomever came afterwords.

And the bottom line is that even if you don't believe in inertia, it doesn't matter one bit. Inertia very much believes in you.

As players get bigger heavier and longer, it requires more force to achieve the same acceleration. Theres a reason nobody ever tried to make "The Fridge" a free saftey.

The bigger a corner is, the longer the lag to catch up with receivers who change speed/direction, which is why big corners have to play man press, using the physical contact to compensate for their inability to change speed as quickly as smaller guys.

Except the Texans play soft zone schemes a lot. They do this because RAC wants to blitz, and zone lets you use fewer defenders to cfg over the same number of offensive players. If you want to play big bump and run corners, you need your corners to play man to man and engage with contact at the line of scrimmage to slow the recievers. If you want to do that, you need to man up and you can't blitz. RAC has never played that way. Some prominent PATS DBs during championship teams between 2002 and 2007: Ty Law, 5'11" 194; Eugene Wilson 5'10" 193; Randal Gay 5'11" 190; Asante Samuel 5'10" 185; James Samders 5'10" 210. RAC doesnt want Addonis Ubermenchen. he wants thoughtful sneaky bastards.

Whatever Gaine does, it will involve getting players that the D Coordinator wants and thaaptflclt fit his scheme, not getting him players that will make him rebuild the scheme from scratch.

You guys are going to melt down, if you want a clever, skilled guy to sit on a passing route, and swoop in for the INT, that is Love. If you need an epic mano-a-mano physical confrontation, (i.e. exactly what the Texans aren't looking for) someone like joejuan Williams is a better bet

 

No very understandable. But also, RAC also didn't have any guys that could play press coverage (as far as on the Texans). That's what we need and that's who we should be going after. I would like Love or Joejuan. I'm sure just like all other fans, your tired of our CBs playing 10-12 yards off the LOS.

 

I'd like to. Figured that's where we'd stop anyway.

 

That looks great so far; happy with that haul
