    I predict Texans win a close one, maybe in overtime and they celebrate Bill O Brien like they just won the superbowl. All the hot seat talk disappears.

    However if they lose this game Bill O’Brien will now all of a sudden test positive for the corona virus (Trump style) and excuse himself into quarantine (hiding) not having to speak to any media outlets. All the attention will then be on Bill O’Brien recovering and not him being 0-4.

    Oh bullsh!t, this is just completely wrong.

    With an 0-3 start, and a talented offense near the bottom of the league, the Houston Texans are making some changes.

    Head coach Bill O'Brien will be far more involved in game-planning and play-calling, sources say, after attempting to take a step back from both to begin the season. While offensive coordinator Tim Kelly will still physically relay the plays in to quarterback Deshaun Watson, O'Brien will take a heavy hand in which plays are called. Just like he was intimately involved with the game plan.

    In other words, it's mostly back to the same formula that helped Houston and Watson reach the playoffs last year.

    While Houston has struggled early, their opponents are a combined 8-1. No one is panicking. But Watson does find himself 19th in passer rating among starters, and the hope is to get him going, as well.

    The goal will be to get Watson into a rhythm early and focus on the plays he likes while also moving him around a bit to find some success. There also may be some scheme changes on the offensive line -- with fewer tight ends blocking edge rushers, for instance.

    "We have to do a better job, whether it's receivers or tight ends or the running back or the line or Deshaun getting the ball out quicker," O'Brien said this week. "Whatever it is, everybody's in it together. It's something that we all work hard on to try to improve and we got to get it improved."

    Why promote Tim Kelly? That’s why I say good ol boy system. If you only gave him 3 weeks then you didn’t believe in him to begin with. To me this means your just putting people in positions due to personal reasons that go outside of performance measures and desire to win at all cost. This is the bs I’m talking about when it comes to this organization.

    The talk here in MN is how the Dalvin Cook will eat up the Texans and that this will be Zimmer type of game. Run a lot and keep the ball out of Deshaun Watson's hands.
