    Sua Filo matadors his guy, 2.2 seconds to impact, Savage does an Osweiler and just doesn't see the underneath guy.

    Gotta be better in both.

    ^^^ No reason to hurt TJ Yates...keep getting tape material on Savage...At this point the goal should be to get the highest 3rd round draft picks...My goodness do we need them. Watson's sheer magic allowed for the Texans to make a piss poor OLine look serviceable. Without him, this glaring weakness is magnified.

    Sitting at 4-7, The Browns, 49ers, Colts, Bears, and Broncos are all ahead of us...and we are tied at 4-7 with 4 or 5 teams. Getting the top draft choice in each round is getting to be more paramount. We need talent in the worst way. That being said... Thank goodness we got it right with Watson. Build around him and Clowney... and scrap everything else.

    What happens when you have two people directing the media at the same time, here's his:

    http://www.houstontexans.com/tv-med...m-Savage/6d155b7b-90af-4d24-bde2-895861c26c33

    Tom was pressured on 49% of his dropbacks.

    In 2016 the most pressured QB in the league was pressured at 40.4%, the least were under 20% and the average was about 25%.

    FWIW, Osweiler was pressured on 29.9% of his dropbacks in 2016, and when pressured his efficiency dropped by -100.6%...

    So we may be making history here with this OL.

    They are examined by an independent doctor assigned by the NFL.

    Yeah plus I imagine that it’s hard for BOB to see Tom having convulsions while he’s laying on his back in the end zone from the sideline since he is in his play sheet... if any thing the ref that was standing right there should have done something but I’m sure there is some sort of rule against refs making medical decisions for teams.

    From the 2017 protocol:

    "Regardless, the responsibility for the diagnosis of concussion and the decision to return a player to a game remains exclusively within the professional judgment of the Head Team Physician or the team physician assigned to managing TBI."
    ...
    "The team physician remains responsible for all final decisions regarding Return-to-Play."

    Interesting. Searched this quote to find the protocol. I've been under the impression that both had to clear them. The whole purpose behind an independent consultant is to prevent a conflict of interest with the team physicians.
    If the official sees something, than the player must undergo concussion protocol, which includes a laundry list of things that supposedly weren't done in this case.
