Remember week 1 when everyone thought the Texans running game was legit? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
I mean, this is more that our run blocking is so, so shit…. But yah assuming you mean our run scheme and not our backs I agree 100%. I’m not a proponent for firing Slowik in season, but this off-season our offensive coaching staff needs a rehaul (unless we have a crazy postseason run, remember the giants were ass when they won big, the copium is strong brothers!)
Stop running first and second down for 80% of the possessions, and also **STOP RUNNING UP THE FKING MIDDLE ALMOST EVERY TIME**!! JFC, Slow-wit.
I’m not going to sit here and defend Slowik, but he didn’t get “figured out” he just simply has an atrociously underperforming line and wtf do you even call when you can’t run the ball, can’t pass protect long enough to pass the ball, and our screen game is weak? Fire Chris Strausser, the OL coach terrorist, and throw money and draft picks at it until it’s serviceable.
There’s a 10% chance or less that Slowik gets fired. Start wrapping your heads around that.
Hi DeMeco and Nick, say it with me slowly now, “Address the Oline issues in the offseason to protect our QB and Runningbacks.”
This just shows how impressive Mixon is, image what he could do behind a god line!!
It all starts with Slowik. We are never set up for success.
our offense is broken.
This is, in a very literal sense, the root of the offensive issues.
If you can’t run, you can’t win. Mixon breaking off the occasional 15 yard run doesn’t put the offense on schedule or make it any better, it just raises the average ypc.
Our run game was so good but of course our OC doesn’t believe in adjustments so
Very sloppy run game detail and footwork.
Mixon’s cutting has been a saving grace for the run game.
I want to push this Oline into volcano.
and just think about how many plays Mixon has saved from a loss……
Tends to happen when 90% of your runs are right up the centers ass.
Slowik’s system is dog water.
Teams figured out that Mixon is going to the outside… every single time. And thats all he can do
this is a very madden take so forgive me because I only ever edge rushed when I played in highschool, but if our OL is this dogshit and our WRs are plagued with injuries, why wouldn’t we employ quick slants and curl routes from the gun?
I get Schultz is having a down year, but if Nico’s the only real WR threat, why would we send borderline practice squad players downfield to beat NFL CBs when they can catch 6 yards down the field and have to beat LBs who could very well not even be in coverage?
Adds some degree of unpredictability to our offence, makes use of the personnel we have left to work with, and may even give CJ more room to breathe if they have to pull back some of the blitz for midfield and short coverage, possibly giving him opportunities to bomb it deep to Nico.
Idk, like I said I’m 9 years removed from highschool ball and buy every 2nd or 3rd year madden game so it’s definitely never that simple (like how I don’t have an answer besides being in shotgun if the pressure is generated from interior DL beating C/G’s 1:1) but clearly trying the same shit every week without any sign of it ever really being effective hasn’t been the answer
I’m still a Pierce truther but even Mixon struggling behind that line 😭
Being hit on half their carries behind the line is a damn disgrace. How are you suppose to operate like that?
Again, everything is broken because the Offensive Line is bad.
They gotta spend as much capital as possible on OL this offseason.
Oline is bad but its the scheme.. We pass in shotgun we run under center. And stick to that like 90% of the time. Maybe it’s changed in the last few weeks because I tuned out to be honest. I’ll be back for the WC game.
That tracks to what I see. It’s painful to watch with the OL’s pitiful effort. Its got to be coaching
Fire Bobby Slowik
Poor Joe Mixon. Dealt with this in Cincinnati and now in Houston. Man can’t catch a break.
This team will forever be held as the textbook example of the importance of a competent offensive line.
Should/could have won at least another 3 to 4 games had their collective grade been anything higher than a D.
The only reason I didn’t give them an F is bc CJ is still alive, and Joe Mixon is having a half decent year.
Thought the Shanahan offense was built on an exotic run game. Switching the backs and being creative on the o line, feel like that’s not our identity at all though?
The run game issues are a direct result of shit coaching. Strausser was a mistake of a hire.
