Yep, I believe Savage is getting the majority of reps with ones.. then the rest go to Watson. Not sure how that ratio works, maybe 80/20? IDK
Yeah so he's impressive against the likes of Joel Heath and Tony Washington. I still want to see him in game action. Even if it is preseason.
it'll certainly tell us more than the fluff we hear during camp....and that's true for everyone on the team. This part of camp is just the worst.
With Watson's demonstrated poise, intelligence, and leadership, he really just needs average arm talent to stick around for a long time as a starting QB in the NFL.
It was a tale of two halves of practice for Deshaun Watson and his offensive work. He came out smoking early, hitting DeAndrew White with two big throws for touchdowns. Watson likes getting the ball both to White and Riley McCarron who have become his safety nets on the field. Watson also found Evan Baylis at times on the field, giving him a strong start. Then as practice went on, the pop wasn’t there and Watson ended up getting sloppy with the ball. Near interceptions and dropped passes from targets made it a disappointing way to end his day after such a strong start. Watson shows that he has what it takes but when he struggles running the offense, it can bog down in a hurry. http://scout.com/nfl/texans/Article/Quick-Hitters-Houston-Texans-Training-Camp-Day-Eight-105762990
It continues to be an interesting time for Tom Savage and he is being pushed by the defense. It was not the best start for the offense with a couple of penalties to start their team session at practice. The Texans play situations just like the game and if he is getting no protection or the offense commits a penalty, the offense goes backwards. Savage was harassed by Christian Covington and Mercilus today, leading to a slow start for the offense. It got a little better towards the end of practice with Savage hitting C.J. Fiedorowicz, DeAndre Hopkins, Ervin, and Hunt in the passing game. They did not put the ball in the end zone but they did eat up some yards. Savage’s best ball went to Hopkins in the corner of the end zone over Robert Nelson. This is one area on which Savage and Hopkins have been Working, the timing of those routes in the red zone. Deshaun Watson threw his first interception since the second day as be forced the football into a window he shouldn’t have. Watson too had a delay of game during and overall not so great day for the offense. If there is one thing Watson did do well today, he is getting the ball out quickly and into his receivers' hands. His understanding of routes and coverages is better than expected but he does get tunnel vision at times. DeAndrew White and Riley McCarron continue to be his favorite targets and they reward him with nice catch and runs. Watson is getting better with his touch as camp goes on and is growing comfortable with his personnel. http://www.scout.com/Article/Quick-Hitters-Houston-Texans-Training-Camp-Day-Nine-105797562
Hopkins makes his decision. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20248391/deandre-hopkins-endorses-tom-savage-houston-texans-qb That's just not true.
"I'm pretty sure there's a lot of teams in the NFL that would love to have me, but the Houston Texans is my home and the team that I want to play for forever." I love Hop!
