    THIS. The results might not be what we want, and I’m sure the specific plays could be much better. But saying he’s not putting the ball in strouds hands or comparing this playcalling to the BOB run-run-pass days is just lazy.

    We need to speed up the tempo and call pass plays that are quick to develop and spread the ball.

    Probably the “show me where I got beat” and then @conquistador#11 showed him getting beat. :p
    Not conquistador himself.
    _____________________________________

    “I just deleted due to the fact I got so many people atting me, messaging me pretty crazy stuff,” Howard said. “I just didn’t want to see it. I just decided to remove myself from it.”

    Howard believed he played “a pretty good game this Sunday,” but social media reaction regarding his play was pessimistic. The sixth-year pro didn’t allow a sack and drew one penalty. Yet his online interactions were negative, and he wanted to keep his attention on the positive things he can control.

    “I’m just only focused on the things I can work on and the stuff in this building,” Howard said. “There’s a lot of crazy stuff being sent to me on Twitter, so I just don’t want to see it no more.”

    The right tackle himself received praise from the outlet for his Week 3 performance. Howard’s 76.7 PFF grade was second-highest amongst the Texans against Minnesota.

    While many players prefer to stay off the Internet during the season, that’s not Howard’s preference. He said he “actually likes” being on social media during the year. But the reaction got out of hand after Sunday, causing him to shift his attitude for the time being.

    “I like to be engaging with the fans,” Howard said. “But when they go too far, that’s when I don’t want to be a part of it.”

    Howard noted that his disappearance from the platform is not permanent.

    “I’ll probably come back to it whenever I feel the need, when I want to get back on it,” he said.

    That feeling is not feverish at the moment, as Howard’s account remains deactivated. The tackle is more worried about beating the Jacksonville Jaguars this week and less about what the outside narrative has become.

    “I look forward to playing our brand of football,” Howard said. “Fast and physical.”

    Finally someone (Dj Bien-aime) is saying what I’ve seen since game one. We have serious issues with blocking stunts. DC are picking on Scruggs and Green.

    edit: also the crew from the game was also the crew from KC vs Ravens season opener. Which begs the question WHY THE F@CK didn’t Demeco and the coaches tell the OL that this crew likes throwing flags. This is very bad preparation.

    I think Jags are like at the bottom in terms of sacks allowed. Their tackles were both in the top ten worst at allowing pressure. TLaw might just get the Caleb Williams special Sunday.

    I might be in favor of cutting Steven Sims and signing Zack Kuntz off the Jets PS.

    (1) only have 2 TEs
    (2) Kuntz is a physical freak (TWSS)
    (3) We can say his name out loud and when people look at us, we can just say "He plays for the Texans) ;)

    Colts could very well be 5-2 and us 4-3 when we play them week 7. And I’m not 100% sure we will beat the Patriots in NE.

    There are no guaranteed wins with this team. All my certainty has worn off.
