Heard Eric Winston on the radio this afternoon and he made some really good points that we need to pay attention to. Prior to our game with them the Titans had averaged holding their opponent to around 60 yds/game. The Texans where able to gain 146 yds against a one of the best run defenses in the league.
We found a back who runs hard every play, and can score from any point on the field.
The OL realizes that they are close to getting the ZBS down, and when they do, they will be able to run on anyone.
Now Eric was not offering the stats as excuses, but he was saying the other teams they have been playing are really top tier type teams at least on defense . And yes the players understand the urgency of the next two games.
IMO if you take away a few play calls from Kubiak, blown assignments and dropped passes, this team almost won a road game against a team that has it's number.
