Satisfying as far as any preseason week 2 wins go, especially over the Patriots. Would like to see Savage not hold onto the ball so long, but at least he's patient. Lets routes develop. Worry of course that his body won't take this abuse over a full season.
Ellington was a nice vet pickup for a depleted position. Will be interesting to see what other WRs hit the waiver wire over the next couple weeks. I liked the TD from Strong... he asked for it up, and credit to Savage for putting the ball up there for him.
Can't worry too much about preseason scheming, but the Pats passing offense to their RBs killed the Texans last season, and it happened again tonight. Newsflash, most of the LBs suck in coverage, as do most of the safeties. Aside from special teams woes, this is rinse-and-repeat commentary every year around here.
