Y'all started last season terribly.
They righted the ship then went right back to being sorry this season.
The offense hasn't had that level of drop off.
RB is the easiest fix in the league and Henry is still a beast. A late round addition or veteran signing is simple.
Andrews was a terrible extension.
Zay is fine as long as he's WR2 next season. I don't know if there's a trade possible and there isn't a WR1 available in free agency. You might have to draft one or get some vets who can be an improvement. Tez will have to step up and Batemon should be gone.
Again, it doesn't have to be the HC doing that. A competent OC can get you right. If you win a Superbowl in the next 2-3 seasons so what if he leaves.
DeMeco made the playoffs 3 straight years and won 2 playoff games. Payton missed the playoffs year 1 and lost in the wild card game last year.
DeMeco is a defensive coach and that's the strength of the Texans.
Payton is an offensive coach and the defense is the strength of team.
How is Ben the best hire when the Patriots have the better record? Yeah the AFC East and schedule is a factor but that's why I said it's a wash. Can't call it until we see what they do in the playoffs.
