    They're giving up under 20pts per game,
    5th in INTS and second(technically) in forced fumbles.

    It's really good to have Cunningham and Cole back on defense.

    I read one of the hottest takes ever today, Jayson Braddock argues that the Texans shouldn't keep Clowney long term because they have borderline scrub Whitney Mercilus.

    out of curiosity looked at free agent CBs, nobody worth a damn except from the Rams but they'll resign him.
    Some team is going to shell out the straight cash on Kjax. I fear no discount.

    We'll have to make decisions on KJax and Mathieu. We need to sign both. KJax has become one of the more versatile DBs we've ever had and Mathieu is as well.

    Why don't we blitz more? I know we have a fantastic line, but our tendency to put it all on them is ridiculous. Indy used max protect and their Texan killer WR to beat us. Romeo needs to bring the heat in those situations a bit more, especially Mercilus and McKinney. Also, as Pat Starr discussed, why is Whitney being used more in coverage vs as a pass rusher. I love Romeo and what he's done for the team, but these are a few things I just don't understand.

    We all know that teams run right at Watt because he rarely plays gap responsibility and they have good success. That's why I absolutely love Watt and Clowney on the same side. No way a team runs to that side and we force them to run to a end that will play gap. I've seen it a few times but wish we saw it more.
