How can Texans improve defense against tight ends?
Texans defense against pass catching tight ends was one of the biggest weak points last season. Next season will be arguably tougher as they'll face pretty much every top tight end in the league. Harris (SAM) and Pitre (SS) over the top are the main TE coverage defenders and they're pretty much a lock in the same spots next season. There's no doubt they're both talented and Texans could maybe draw up better schemes against TEs to help, but any other ideas?
Texans will see tough TE matchups in at least 13 out of 17 regular season games next season:
KC Travis Kelce
BAL Mark Andrews + Isaiah Likely
DET Sam LaPorta
BUF Dawson Knox + Dalton Kincaid
MIN TJ Hockenson + Josh Oliver
JAC Evan Engram
DAL Jake Ferguson
CHI Cole Kmet + Gerald Everett
NE Hunter Henry + Mike Gesicki
MIA Jonnu Smith
GB Luke Musgrave + Tucker Kraft
NYJ Tyler Conklin + CJ Uzomah
