This is the section of our SOTT Mid Season Report card and we will run through every position group for the Houston Texans. We focus on the secondary in this post and give our thoughts on the position group.
The Secondary
Johnathan Joseph: The biggest difference this season is that teams are not scared to throw at him and Joseph does give up plenty receptions. For a three week period, Joseph was giving up touchdowns and deep passes which is not Joseph like, call it a groin issue but it was concerning. Being the lock down corner and spoiled from last season, Joseph has plenty of time to pick up the pace. He has shown he can lock down the team’s best wide receiver but he has gotten off to a slow start. He looks like he has gotten back on track the past two games and he will be needed to make the Texans that much better in the second half of the season.

Houston Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips told the media today that they plan on double teaming Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall on every play.
I think this is a wise decision by Phillips and the Texans since Marshall is one of the Bears’ dangerous players.
In the NFL the best receivers can beat a double team. We’ll see if Marshall is up to the challenge on Sunday...

Much like the Chicago Bears, the Houston Texans rely on their stout defense to carry their sometimes sputtering offense.
The Texans' defense has been giving up just 285 yards of offense per game, good enough for third best in the league. Just like the Bears, they are great at getting to the quarterback, racking up 25 sacks on the season.
