Houston Texans Podcast: Get Well Soon Tygod (Texans v. Browns Review)

Battle Red Blog: for Houston Texans fans

In Tygod we trust. In Davis Mills we drown in sorrow. Houston was electric in the first half. Tyrod Taylor had one incompletion, ran and passed for a touchdown, executed Tim Kelly’s offense perfectly, and had a QBR of 94.8. Justin Reid forced two turnovers all on his own. Houston went into the half tied 14-14. Then disaster struck. Taylor suffered a hamstring injury, and in came Davis Mills. He was sacked once, fumbled once, threw one interception, managed one touchdown drive aided by a 27 yard pass interference penalty, and he had a QBR of 10. The accuracy was spottier than a through hiker’s underwear. The arm strength was fuzzy. His pocket presence was non existent.

Pray for Mills. He needs it. Shades of New England 2017 turned putrescent and green. Houston went from the feel good hit of September, to bad, but not only that, they were bad and boring.

On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston and Scott Martin (L4Blitzer) review the Texans 31-21 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Topics include: why Tyrod Taylor had so much success against the Browns in the first half, Tim Kelly’s efficient offensive scheme, the disastrous start to Davis Mills’s career, the pass protection holding up, Justin Reid crushing it as a split safety, the cracks in the Lovie Smith defense, and the murderous future coming for the Houston Texans.
