From my perspective OC is a solid B+, given this is his first season. If he tweaks play calling and gets more out of the ruuning game, then we're in the "A" territory.
I like his response. There are only so many hours you can effectively put into the prep and tough choices have to be made on what receives the most attention. Even if he has made all the correct decisions, some things will have to be addressed later. So I can easily agree with both Slowik and Burke. An A+ with room for growth and a loaded question.
Slowik treats Stroud like Zach Wilson. Houston media needs to be on his ass all week. WC offenses in the NFL yesterday. Dolphins(won by 2 TD's) threw 45 times to 20 runs Packers 41 passes to 13 runs 49'ers 31 Passes to 17 runs. Here is what is funny. The Texans have the worst RB group of the above teams and arguably the best QB. Their WR lead the league in separation per route. Our OC has an issue recognizing what his own Personnel is good at. That is the problem. He deserves to be crucified.
He deserve to be put on a short leash. We need a Chandler Rome equivalent for the Texans to grind on Slowiks' lazy and pathetic game planning.
Stop acting like you are running an offense with a top 10 running back, and a bottom 10 rated QB! Stop acting like you are running an offense with a top 10 running back, and a bottom 10 rated QB!

AND, if he was out there having Stroud throw 30-40 passes per game and getting pummelled (ala Shedeur Sanders), you and yours would be all over Slovik for not running the ball enough. Quit looking for someone to blame and give DeMeco time to right this ship.
It doesn't have to be one extreme or another. We are 2nd to last in almost every rushing category. They had 2 weeks to develop a game plan for whatever reason turned into CJ attempting the least amount of passes he's had all season.
I understand the balanced attack theory, but the lack of play action for a QB like Stroud is ridiculous. You have to do something down the field every once in a while on 1st down. We are constantly behind the chains as they say.
