Tid bits from Bill Barnwell

"Houston invested multiple first- and second-round picks in its offensive line, but the line has been ordinary protecting Watson, as the Texans rank 19th in pass block win rate this season. (They've been much better as a run-blocking unit.) The move to trade wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins for running back David Johnson and a second-round pick has been a disaster; Hopkins has continued to be effective in Arizona, and Johnson has been a nondescript player. Defensive tackle Ross Blacklock, whom the Texans chose with Arizona's pick, was ejected from the Ravens loss and benched for a week.

It might be unfair to expect Blacklock to contribute immediately, but the Texans have needed the help. Their defensive line hasn't been up to task this season. Despite blitzing at the seventh-highest rate in football, they have the fifth-lowest pressure rate. Put another way: No team is less likely to produce a pressure with a blitz than the Texans, who succeed only 16.9% of the time when they send extra rushers. In likely related news, they allow a passer rating of 110.9 when they blitz, the league's fifth-worst passer rating."
