    They played it safe there, but it’s still a step in the right direction.

    So far this team looks very well coached.

    Nice series from CJ

    Good football so far. CJ looks good. The whole vibe just feels better with DeMeco. Pass rush + good back end should make this defense top 15.

    OL is playing poorly. Hope they pick it up.

    screen pass when you have Stroud and Pierce dealing is a bad play call

    Not bad to think like that right now. Once it gets late and we’re still within 4, it’s time to shoot for the dub

    I really like this offense so much more than the style of offense that BOB ran, which more played the run off the threat of pass than vice-versa.

    Not saying one is better than the other, but i find all this play action and misdirection so much more astheticlly pleasing than the straight ahead pro-action/spacing pass-first stuff that they used to run.

    A Texan's tradition: They score TD.s and we score FG's. The math some how never works out.

    Not even just that, but you don't throw behind the O line against an aggressive defense that is blitzing, you throw behind the aggressively blitzing defenders.

    Demeco has this defense looking good

    Nothing easy, constant pressure.

    I could get behind screen calls.

    But they're giving us the blueprint on how to use Tank, we just need to realize that. The blueprint is how they're using Zay Flowers.
