Impressed with ST Coverage/ST... Impressed with Run Game.... Impressed with Pass Defense.... Impressed with Penalties for Once..... Like I said though still areas to work on, the passing game in particular. That being said I think the Texans are a good pass defense and get pressure and also we were set on running the ball especially up big. With that being said still no excuse... 4/14 for 49 yards before the Davis TD. Part of it is the OL's pass blocking, part of it is the WR's not stepping up, part of it's Kap and part of it is the coaching not utilizing our guys to their fullest. McDonald, James. We don't do enough slants and quick throws.. all 7 step drops from what I see. Get James lined up out wide, throw a screen once in awhile... just get the ball in his hands in space. With McDonald seems like he has done a lot of blocking lately. Seems like we haven't been doing much play action passes either. At least we stopped with the pistol fake handoff every play and also got back to running from a traditional formation more.
Would it kill us to put Gore and Hunter/James on the field at the same time? Are 2 back sets dying in the nfl? Can set up double screens, have both run out in the flats, send one or both out wide, etc. We have split Miller out wide a lot but you would think James would be more suited for that. Maybe he isn't out there more because of blocking. Gore is a great blocker. Also, what happened to dumping off to running backs? Kap has been hesitant to take off at times and he's been hesitant to dump off as well. Need to get the ball in the flats to Gore, Hunter and James more. Anyways, kind of rambled but those are a few things we have to work on yet.
