Things that confuse me
Hypothetically, if you were designing a defensive plan for a NFL team that was facing a QB known for his very weak arm, would you plan schemes that allowed for lots of short passes and dumpoffs?
I wouldn't. So I'm very confused by the Texans game plan against Mark Brunell. The former Jags QB has never had a strong arm, but Brunell's arm seems to be getting even weaker as he gets older. He can't throw routes that're going to require a strong arm (eg, deep outs), so you can plan for that.
Yet, Brunell completed 22 passes in a row on Saturday. You know how many were over 10 yards? I counted two this morning when they showed every throw on SportsCenter. Lots of his passes were dumpoffs -- ok, maybe that's a smart decision by Brunell, but one you should be planning for if you're the Texans.
Therefore, it seems to me that while of course the Texans lack personnel, maybe they also don't have the coaches.
