Bill O'Brien needs a OC or he needs to give up the play calling duties. Dude wasted a whole got damn half trying to run the ball against Harrison. His play calling had been ass through the first three games.

I'm not panicking yet. We could've cool easily been 3-0 with some decent play calling.

I'm not understanding why the play calling has changed since last season. Watson was doing rollouts, we had a lot of play action, and a lot of motion. Now we just run Miller up the middle when he is better running outside.

Defensively, our Linebackers have to be the worst in the league. They over pursue everything and the cant cover anyone. Every time I look up, I see Zach Cunningham chasing someone in coverage because he was beat on a route. Clowney and Watt are not consistent at all. Watt is getting some sacks but he rarely disrupts or apply any pressure on the offense. And Our Secondary is just trash with the exception of the Honey badger. Its time to cut ties with Kevin Johnson.

And what else needs to be said about O'Brien, dude is terrible in ALL AREAS of COACHING.

The crazy thing is, our LB core was the least I was concerned about heading into this season, but I've re-watched games and I'm just puzzled out how they easily get moved out the way, especially in the Giants game. Totally ineffective. Duke Ejiofor was a standout all preseason, and was disruptive in the first game, to which BOB said "we'd like to get him some more snaps", then LIMITED HIS SNAPS the next two games.

Not worried about Watt, but Clowney...man....he's truly playing himself off this team. It's still early, but for most of this season I had to ask myself was he even on the field. Kevin Johnson is no good anymore. A standout in his rookie year until his injury, then more injuries made him a total liability. He's Rahim more 2 years ago.

The Houston Texans have made several roster transactions to address injuries to players.
The Houston Texans have placed wide receiver Bruce Ellington and inside linebacker Dylan Cole on the injured reserve entering Week 4 as Ellington has struggled with injuries since entering the league in 2014.

Sadly this season wasn’t an outlier, and Ellington struggled with a hamstring injury versus the New York Giants in Week 3. Ellington has had a history with hamstring injuries, so the Texans were already rolling with a deep number of wide receivers on the depth chart.

The Texans still have five wide receivers on the roster after placing Ellington on the IR. Currently on the roster are DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller, and Vyncint Smith who healthy enough to contribute Week 4 versus the Indianapolis Colts. Keke Coutee and Sammie Coates have been sidelined for all season thus far with their own hamstring injury, but the Texans are deep enough in the long-term at wide receiver if they’re able to stay healthy.

In a surprising move, inside linebacker Dylan Cole was placed on the IR by the Texans after dislocating his wrist during the home opener against the Giants.

Losing Cole will hurt since he is a talented young player that has the tools to be able in the contribute on all four downs. Cole is athletic enough to stay on passing downs and be a contributor on special teams. According to a report from Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, besides having wrist surgery Cole will also undergo knee surgery.

With the opening of two roster spots, the Texans signed offensive tackle David Sharpe from their practice squad. The offense has struggled with right tackle Julien Davenport in 2018. This signing could be a wakeup call for him if he isn’t able to acclimate himself to the new position after playing left tackle throughout training camp and preseason.

The Texans also signed outside linebacker Daeshon Hall, he was drafted in the third round by the Carolina Panthers in 2017.

Lamar Miller basically made his money off that one game a couple of seasons ago when he destroyed the Texans

He really does nothing for me :manny:
