Texans' DeMeco Ryans knew what was coming before Christian Harris' big play

Ryans remembered something similar that happened in their first matchup against the Browns, where Harris was put in a bad position on the play against Flacco. He told Harris what he should have done, they worked, went over it countless times in practice, Ryans reminded him last week, and they executed.

That video right there shows why coaching is so important. Here's a former linebacker and a captain of the defense telling his linebacker how to fix what happened. It doesn't get much better than that. Harris had a career game against the Browns, where he finished with a career-high PFF grade of 91.

To make things even better about it all, too, Ryans intercepted Flacco as a player when he played for the Philadelphia Eagles, and Flacco was on the Baltimore Ravens, the team they will face this Saturday.

If this video, along with the improvements from last year to this year, does not show you how important coaching is in the NFL, I don't know what will. When the voters are voting for who will win the Coach of the Year Award, I just hope this is a video they have all seen. The people associated with the franchise knew Ryans would do this, though. I mean, J.J. Watt predicted it, for crying out loud.
