Houston Texans ‘19 SFL outlook

•In a cycle that will start seemingly with the SFL owners almost completely flipped in not only the AFC, but the NFC as well, the Houston Texans will try to not skip a beat from the last 2 cycles under Coach Chan.

•Chan and his Texans have won 2 rings (out of 3 chances) in the last 2 cycles since he won one coaching the Patriots his first cycle, but the AFC and the AFC South specifically, have made leaps and bounds in regards to putting out a good conference and a good division as well. In regards to the AFC; the conference saw FOUR different owners make it to the Super Bowl last year and two owners from the AFC take home the trophy. The conference has shown promise to be a problem for the league as a whole this cycle again. In regards to the AFC South specifically; the division is losing two good owners (to the Bears and Chiefs) respectively, but is gaining two owners that are very good as well and can make this division even more competitive. The division will now add Coach Deme, whom coached the Jets last cycle and whom has shown more than enough signs that he his a legitimate coach and legitimate threat in the AFC. The division will also add Coach Gabe whom coached the Giants last season. With the x-factor obviously being best friends with Coach Chan and the league sentiment being both Chan and Gabe have same play styles, the divisional rivalry (though HEAVILY in Chan’s favor) will be one to watch this cycle.

•With Coach Chan stating, “this is the most talented team I’ve started with to begin a cycle. We’ve got playmakers all over the field on both sides of the ball”, the city of Houston has high hopes to start off the cycle strong. But even good teams have weaknesses and this team has a pretty blaring weakness in regards to the offensive line. It’s great to have playmakers everywhere but if Deshaun doesn’t have time to throw and Lamar has no holes to run through, this could be a long season for Houston.

•Things to watch out for season 1: 1. Tyrann Mathieu added to a stout defense that has yet to see a safety of his caliber 2. (As previously stated) the offensive line and its ability to keep it’s MVP caliber QB upright 3. Will Fuller’s leap in development status with his All Pro counterpart taking the bulk of the defensive spotlight 4. Rookies KeKe Coutee (slot WR) and Justin Reid’s (starting SS) impact on both sides of the ball 5. The dynamic duo of Clowney and Watt wreaking havoc on offenses
