This is the start of our SOTT Mid Season Report card and we will run through every position group for the Houston Texans. We focus on the offensive line in this post and give our thoughts on the position group.
The Offensive Line Grades
Duane Brown: He gave up his first sack of the season against the Buffalo Bills but he has been as good you can ask an NFL left tackle to be. He provides what the offensive line needs, a force in the run and pass blocking game. His athletic ability really shows when the Texans let him pull to the outside and lead on pitch plays. He has been one of the top offensive lineman for the Texans this season.
Wade Smith: Smith makes a great compliment to Brown and Chris Myers but he has lapses sometimes by playing too high. He looks like he has slimmed down some from last season and he has had some issues with moving bigger defensive players off the line of scrimmage. One play he looks great getting to the second level, but soon after his feet get lazy ...

JJ Watt is used to crashing QB parties in the backfield with batted passes and sacks. The Texans are now 7-1 on the season and a lot of it has to do with the play of this monster and the rest of the Texan defense.

Chalk this up as another one that I’ve never seen before. It looks eerily similar to one that Titans RB Chris Johnson often does, but its not the same. I guess we’ll just have to applaud Owen Daniels for his creativity and for the success he’s had on the football field this year, totaling 478 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns.Via: @cjzero

Texans get 21-9 win over Bills to improve to 7-1
Houston remains atop the AFC standings with a franchise-best 7-1 start after picking up another win by beating the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Mario Williams was a fan favorite during his six years in Houston. To say he has fallen out of favor would be an understatement.
Williams, now a member of the Buffalo Bills, was booed in his return to Houston on Sunday. One could say it was salt on the wound, as the Texans rolled to a 21-9 victory, but Williams was hardly concerned about the less-than-welcoming...

A lot of credit goes to Buffalo, but most goes to the Texans offense who came out very flat.
