I'd love to see what he'd do against the Patriots. We're definitely vulnerable to the TE and we haven't seen very many good quarterbacks. Brady, Grankowski, Hernandez VS Wade Phillips -- that's fun.
I agree with all that has been said, but you can't teach passion, players either have it or they don't. This bunch has a lot of "want to." All out, all the time makes a huge difference.
With this new generation of 6'5"+ TEs, everybody is vulnerable, not just us. Gronk's catching TDs with safeties draping him like a cape. Just nobody exploits the mismatch more than the Pats because they don't run and they don't throw to their WRs.
Actually the Texans haven't played any real high powered offenses. Our strength of schedule is pretty weak (colts, bucs, browns, raiders, jags, titans, bengals). The weak offensive teams we've played probably skew the defensive stats a little.
NO is highpowered and the Texans defense will get its second high powered offense this Sunday. I look at adjusted stats mostly so the "weak" SOS doesn't affect them that much. The Texans SOS compares very well with the other 10 win teams. Great teams tend to have weak SOS's because they don't have to play themselves. Pitt and Balt only have average SOS despite having another great team in their division.
