The offense is now considered among the tops in the league. The Chron is raving about time of possession. The Texans have one two in a row. Dunta is back. Things seem to be all better.
Did anyone see Petey chasing after Calvin Johnson on Sunday? That is our defense in a nutshell. We're among the worst in scoring defense. We allow more than 8 yards per pass attempt and 4 yards per rush. Although we perform better than average on third down, teams seldom need third down to be successful against us.
This Sunday should be much easier for us without Carson Palmer under center. I do expect a victory on Sunday, but I am not excited about our opportunity to take the next step in 2008. We need better secondary players and a new defensive coordinator.
The running game is improving. I would still like to see us drive defenses off the ball in short yardage. We need that execution against teams like the Jaguars and Titans.
For the first time in the history of the franchise, I will say that it is up to the offense to carry the Houston Texans. We've come a long way when you consider it. David Carr and Dom Capers are distant in the rear-view mirror.
