Exactly... nobody in the area and between the tackle box. Wade Phillips is still wondering what time it is and why the game is starting at nap time.
Brooks Reed tried to read that screen pass.... just too small and late on the reaction. That's the only thing he can possibly do better at that position than Mario.
Now that I look back on it, he had to have had a RB in the area. Texans need to take a page from this Baltimore playbook. Simple, high-percentage quick passes mixed with power runs behind a fullback.
They did their research in this D. Can't handle a quick pass west coast attack (though few can if executed well)
Not a bad penalty... cost us half a yard and could help Antonio Smith stay fired up in his matchup the rest of the day.
