Texans Season 2 Outlook (Post Draft/FA)

by Dirty-Chan1 | 6 years ago | 1 Comments

Season 1 didn’t go as planned for the Houston Texans & co. but season 2 has some promising upside due to acquisitions made through the draft and free agency as well. 

Key Acquisitions: 1st Round Pick RG Delonte Fields (6’6/ 333 lbs/ 21 years old)- Obvious upside to one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. He’s got the size matched with already strengths in the run game. He should be an immediate impact player. 

2nd Round Pick WR Latteral Bryant (6’0/ 186/ 24 years old)- A true speedster out of Cal University should compliment star wideout’s Fuller and Hopkins with his field stretching ability. His hands were a bit of a problem (like WR Fuller) in college but should make up with lack of hands with his release ability. 

Free Agency Pickup DT Muhammad Wilkerson- A big compliment to an already stout defense and specifically defensive line with Clowney/Watt/Reader. He should have an impact plugging inside runs up and more importantly help with stopping the run in Nickel sets with majority of the league running out of 3+ WR’s sets. 

Free Agency Pickup CB Kayvon Webster- Having already being apart of a top defense in the Texans last season, he re-signs with the team once more to hopefully fill the hole CB Jonathan Joseph left due to retirement. 

Season 2 things to fix: -All plays on offense start with the offensive line and for Watson & Co. to flourish the Oline simply has to play better. Look for RG Delonte Fields to help bolster the line Week 1.

-Even though this team had the least amount of turnovers in the league, they must refrain from turnovers in the red zone and late game turnovers. 

-Lastly, this team needs to stick to its strengths and not try to change its identity, which is an efficient offense and a stingy defense. Keeping this identity in check starts with Coach Chan not swaying away from the gameplan. Look for the Houston Texans to regroup and make a run for the AFC once again.
