    I think the continuity will improve the more that they play together now that the correct line calls are being made. Scruggs had 2 holding calls, one that cost them a chance at a TD. He's gotta clean that up.

    How does Howard not have a negative score after ripping the ball from CJ? I mean that just goes against what an OL is supposed to do... LOL

    At least we dont have any single digit pass blocking grades on the line anymore. That is an improvement. The unit just needs a few games to mesh.

    Much better scores for the unit. Lo and behold Green is out and the OL does immensely better.

    Crying shame, that the Texans botched what should be the safest 1st round pick, an OL guard.

    I’ll spare you all the glitchy click/site but this is what you find when you go look for offensive line rankings:

    If you factor in the lack of blocking by Schultz and Stover, it's amazing Mixon has run the ball as well as he has especially without Nico.

    Seriously. If this team didnt have Joe grinding out yards while he's been healthy we're probably under .500 right now. I cant see Singletary doing what Joe has been doing with this line thats for damn sure.

    He didn't cause the fumble.
    He instigated the fumble. He wanted to eat.

    My take is he wanted the ball because Stroud was toast and he thought he could run with it.

    you have to love a lineman whose first instinct when the QB is in trouble is not to flatten anyone who might be near him, but rather to grab the ball and run away.

    Next three are Dallas, Tennessee & Jacksonville, an ideal stretch to get everything right before the bye and then Miami, Kansas City and Baltimore.
