Imho, both Texans games were among Gus' personal worst games. Simply put, the Texans coach so far owns Gus, and I'm hoping the Jaguars can get some redemption by sweeping them this year, but that's easier said than done.


 

In the first game, even though it got far worse in the second half, it was obvious by halftime that Hopkins was schooling House. I don't think Gus realized just how good Hopkins was as a player because he failed to give House any help, and Hopkins is the kind of WR you had better double every play. Adjustments were required at halftime, and they didn't happen. That's Gus' fault. In the second half, Hopkins had his way with House; it was like taking candy from a baby.  In the aftermath, Gus overreacted by benching Devon failing to realize that the problem wasn't Devon's effort... the problem was failing to give him help. Benching him for Gratz was just plain [BLEEP], and I can only imagine how much worse that Texans game would have been if Gratz were manned up against Hopkins. The lighting a fire under House argument is, and I hate to say this, something only an apologist would utter. This if the first time I've ever stooped to mention the word "apologist," but I can't think of a more fitting word for this instance.


 

In the second game, the Texans coaches had the Jaguars completely figured out. The talent level difference on the field was almost irrelevant as the Texans had the Jaguars schemed up to a T. Yeah it didn't help that Joekel was doing his best turnstile impression, but that game was lost on several fronts. Gus was clueless and it showed. I still argue that Gus improved tremendously as a head coach during the second half of last year, but the final game of last year was by no means an example. If the Jaguars are to own the AFC S, it starts with beating the Texans, and it's going to take more than a few extra talented players to do this. It's going to take a concerted coaching effort to change the tide in this match-up.
