Has Stroud taken a step back? Yes. Is there anything in the world ANY quarterback could do with that kind of pressure? Not a chance.
So is the run on 1st mandatory or just the SOP? We used to have a head baseball coach (RIP) who REQUIRED his batters to take the 1st pitch and not swing. you can imagine what happened when the other teams found out
Remember when they threw a screen to take advantage of the overzealous defense early in the game? Feels like forever ago.
The O-line is the primary problem. Going to be a long year. Maybe draft a lineman in the first round or something.
somethings gotta give, there is no hope for this team if the OL and CJ’s awareness are not addressed. Indy looks legit and are probably the best team in the division so far and there is no way 2 teams are coming out from this division to the playoffs. History also says that the Texans have never made it the playoffs 3 years in a row.
