I mentioned my video on the Texans preview with Brandon Scott from 95.7 The Fan getting a lot of views.
And the cover image is, are the Texans ready for a Super Bowl run? I've already gotten a couple of comments laughing, saying no.
I think it's ridiculous for people to just assume that this team is not going to be great based off one game, considering the fact that the area of the team... that is going to be great, that is expected to be great, was the one that kind of fell apart on Sunday.
Reed Blankenship did not have a very good debut for the Texans last and that pressure up front needs to get to the quarterback a little bit more, but you have to remember who they were playing.
They do a nice job moving him out of the pocket, and as I remember correctly, the last time the Bills were here, that pass rush of the Texans got after him, but the offensive game plan from the Bills was a little different.
Josh was getting the ball out a lot faster, and they moved him out of the pocket several times as well, and that's what you have to do against an aggressive front seven for the Texans.
He's going to be out now for a couple of weeks with a shoulder injury, which is unfortunate.
But I think you have to give credit to the Bills for doing some things that they had not done in the past against this Texans defense.
