Impressions From The Texans Game

2. It's nice too see how much perception is changing on a WR corps that can actually count on having a ball delivered where they expect it now. 

3. Fournette needs to learn there's a time to try to set up a block to break a long run and there's a time to just get through a hole. I've seen enough of him chopping his steps up to the line when we need 1 or 2 yards. That 4th and 1 was maddening.

That and the OPI were pretty weak but I also thought the Jaguars benefitted from a few non-calls on Taylor for false start and got a lot of help on that 4th and 1 first down call.
Last year Norwell was dealing with injuries and I gave him a pass, but as far as I know, he's healthy and doesn't look anything like an All Pro.  He's not as bad as Cann, but he also doesn't look anything like a player that's being paid what he is.  Did Cam Newton make him look good?

Despite being a big back, I don't think Fournette will ever be a good short yardage back because of the lack of vision and the surprising lack of power for his size, which probably has a lot to do with the choppy feet and likely too high of a center of gravity.

I understood why the OPI stood because it was called on the field, but still weak considering how much Hopkins pushes off.  I missed the uncalled false start, but I agree about getting the benefit on the 4th and 1 call.
