That is honestly more of a coaching issue than a Duane Brown issue. You have to self-scout yourself enough to see things like that. It amazes me how mediocre are OL is under what is supposed to be a great OL coach.

Exactly what I was thinking as I read this. Gibbs is some sort of mastermind who is going to transform the running game and propel the Texans into NFL legend? Sure. He yells a lot, that much I know. Other than that he is simply another charlatan in a franchise that has had nothing but from the top on down to the guy who mixes the Gatorade but puts Powerade powder in the water instead. This entire franchise is a fraud.

I agree about it being a coaching issue.

I think it also underscores a bit the poor division record the Texans have had since Kubiak arrived, especially since 2007 (who bothers with that 2006 season with Carr anyway?). They are 4-14 over the last three years!!!! ...which btw makes them 17-9 against everyone else.

The Texans aren't doing things with their ground game that seem to surprise anyone, especially in the division, where the wins are needed the most.

Isn't HOF offensive lineman Bruce Matthews on the Texans payroll and if so why hasn't he seen this problem in Browns play and had him correct it ?

While this is a problem, do you really need to watch Duane Brown's foot to know if we're running or passing? Seems like there is a much simpler way. I can usually tell from simply looking at the personnel and formation.

Vikings LT Bryant McKinnie did something similar against the Cardinals, according to Tony Boselli.
