FMFB panel: Jags, Steelers, Chargers, and the Pats themselves. I liked being the overlooked underdog...not sure I like the pressure of being in the national expected to excel spotlight. On a separate note, Houston isn't gettin' the love they likely should deserve. Not that I should care.

Did they do enough over the offseason to improve that wretched Defense? I hope they're not pinning their hopes on a healthy Watt because after all the procedures he's been through, even 70% of what he was would be surprising to me. Then you have Clowney who has an injury history and inconsistency problems when he's healthy. Mercilus is a nice player but is he really that impactful? Their CBs are still atrocious but Tyrann was definitely a nice addition. It all hinges on Watson I think. Lamar Miller has been a bust for them and D'Onta Foreman didn't show anything I'd be nervous going against. They need immaculate health and no regression from their QB who has 6 games under his belt. In the perfect scenario for them they could be good, but it just seems like a lot of things have to go right.

Is Mathieu playing cb or saftey? They also got Colvin we'll see if he can be an outside guy or not. The dline should be good still unless Watts done.

Colvin will be exposed on the outside. If the Texans are smart, they’ll move both him and Matthieu around a lot with ample blitzing and box play. If teams can count on Colvin playing outside, they’ll find a very average to subpar guy to pick on.

I am not so sure about Colvin.  He is a really good tackler.  He will probably play off the receiver.  We shall see.
