With the advantage of 20-20 hindsight, it’s easy to say Texans OLB Connor Barwin made the wrong decision by not signing a contract extension prior to the campaign, now that he has failed to record a sack in the first month of the season. However, Pro Football Weekly hears Barwin is playing very well against the run, plus he is coming closer and closer to getting in on the sack parade. It is worth noting that Barwin tallied only two sacks in the first eight games last season, before exploding for 9.5 in the final eight contests.
