This should be a solid barometer of how good we currently are. The Texans are terrible. They have no QB, receivers or defense. If we can concentrate on stopping the run and make Tyrod Taylor beat us through the air, we should be o.k. We just need to make sure we have 2 guys on Brandin Cooks. He's basically their only receiver whose worth anything. We also need to keep an eye on Phillip Lindsey as a receiver out of the backfield. If he is on the field, our linebackers need to stay home and contain him, so he can't do any damage via screen passes. What does worry me is that Houston has a pretty decent O-Line and our pass rush has been non-existent. I'm not expecting much from us in the line of QB pressures, but we'll have to see what happens. On paper, this is the easiest game we'll have all season, so if we screw this up........................
