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........................

You don't put 2 people on Cooks.  You have CJ Henderson mirror him all day.  If he starts having a problem with Cooks then give him some help.  Starting out though you have CJ follow him and see what he can do and I think he will do just fine

C.J. Henderson might currently be our best corner, but I still wouldn't put him one on one with Cooks. No way! Especially, when we still have yet to find any kind of pass rush at all.

I think some people will be surprised by this one. I'm gonna say Jags win, 34-31. I see Trevor having a nice start to his career and Robinson should look good as well. I see one long TD reception for D.J. Chark too. I think we will give up a troubling amount of yardage and big plays in the passing game though.
