    Right. But with Justin Reid and Andre Hal, do they sign TWO starting safeties? JJo might retire so they might need TWO new starting CBs.

    You can do a lot worse than JJo. Even at his old age

    Been seen that. But is he going to have a career year next year too? And the year after that?

    I'm just saying you can do a whole lot worse. If he plays next year, it is likely his last season. It is very important for the Texans to have his replacement on the roster next year and not wait till he retires.

    LOL
    Maybe the Rockets should have been at the game instead of the Clippers

    You draft a CB. You sign Honey Badger.

    You for sure have to retain Kareem and Badger.

    Safety play is important in limiting big plays.

    True. But that will give them 4 safeties.
    You still got Justin Reid and Hal on the roster who are pretty good safeties themselves. They need 1 if not 2 top notch corners even if they sign both honey badger and Kareem

    Reid, Kareem, and Honey Badger are still plenty fast enough. Hell lets just have six safeties out there as our entire secondary. Things will be fine

    All this talk about cornerbacks just makes me think about our bad luck drafting Kevin Johnson as our first round pick. I was excited about it at the time, but unfortunately he only has 1 interception in his career. To make it worse is knowing Kansas City drafted Marcus Peters after that, and he has 20 career interceptions. Just bad luck.

    He hasn't been healthy for long enough to get the experience he needs to not suck. He's in his 4th season in the league and he has less than 2 seasons worth of games under his belt if you don't count the games he got knocked out of early.

    He's just absolutely made of glass, but if not for that he might have been worth something.

    Yeah, that's unfortunate. He's lost so much experience being injured.

    Coach of the Week

    Mike Devlin, offensive line coach, Houston. I’ve thought all along that the performance of a porous offensive line is what will crush the Texans’ chance to play well into January. Just two weeks ago, Houston survived against a bad Bills team despite Deshaun Watson getting sacked seven times. But credit Devlin, and a settled offensive line—with Greg Mancz replacing Zach Fulton at right guard the last two weeks—for steadying the ship. Stat of the night in Houston’s rout of Miami: Sacks/Sack yardage: 0/0. In the last two weeks, Watson has been sacked once, and the Texans have steamrolled Jacksonville and Miami for 329 rushing yards.

    ________________________

    Offensive Players of the Week

    Deshaun Watson, quarterback, Houston. When you have more touchdown passes than incompletions, it’s been a good day. Against Miami, Watson was 16 of 20 for 239 yards, with five TDs, no picks and a 156.0 rating. (How exactly is that not a perfect 158.3 rating?) He crammed his five touchdown passes—from 13, 2, 73, 49 and 2 yards—into 38 minutes of the Texans’ rout of the Dolphins.

    Defensive Player of the Week

    J.J. Watt, defensive end, Houston. OK. It’s eight games now. We needed time to see if Watt, who missed 24 of 32 games in the last two years, could get back to premier status at age 29. We’ve seen enough. In a five-play first-quarter span Thursday night against Miami, Watt burst through the line and knocked down a Brock Osweiler pass, destroyed right tackle Ju’Wuan James on his way to a sack of Osweiler (while being held/mugged by James; penalty declined), pressured Osweiler into an incompletion on fourth-and-a-foot, and stopped Frank Gore for a two-yard loss in the backfield. Watt is 29. He is decidedly not finished. Entering play Sunday, his eight sacks tied him for the league lead.

    The rest of the division is 2-9.
