If only we could play the Titans and Hags every week. We do get 2 more with them.

Good to see the D as active as they were, even with the condition of the Titans OL. Mercilous had a great game, and seems to be producing when called upon.

Interesting that Rahim Moore was a healthy scratch. Good to see some accountability for shitty play.

Yep, they've proved they can still win against the Jags, Titans and Bucs of the league (though, what a shocker with the Bucs knocking off the Falcons today).

Yes, Mercilus had a good game but where has he been for the last 7 games? Nonetheless, it was good to see all those linebackers (Cushing/Bullough/Simon/Mercilus) at the top of the tackle stats....

I thought Rahim Moore was a pretty good signing back in the Spring, but he has been a disaster. When you can get a glimpse of him in the picture, he's usually trying to avoid getting his uniform dirty.... Demps, "penalty machine" Pleasant and Hal held down the fort pretty well though Mettenberger didn't go deep much......

Mercilous had 2 sacks against Jacksonville 2 weeks ago. Can you tell me what those games had in common other than bad AFC QBs? No Jadaveon Clowney. Mercilous has been far better than Clowney but isn't playing. When Mercilous has gotten snaps he's performed.

Clowney played today.

So, just get Clowney out of the lineup so Mercilus can go to town, eh? Sounds good to me!

Nconroe · #52 11-01-2015, 09:22 PM

I thought Hoyer played a lot better today than in his previous games with Texans. Likely had nothing to do with Clowney getting hurt on two chop blocks.

Mercilus plays well on the weak side and is invisible on the strong side. The braintrust plays Clowney on the weak side when he's not injured.

All of Mercilous' sacks came after Clowney got hurt. That means when Clowney is hurt Mercilous has 5.5 sacks in about 7 quarters.

barrett · #55 11-01-2015, 10:46 PM

What's worse is we cannot figure out how to get both in the game. The NYG super bowl teams from a few years back played 4 DEs at once. If we are trying to force Clowney on the field regardless of results and performance, we shouldn't be doing it at Mercilous' expense.

Keith · #56 11-01-2015, 11:17 PM

Crennel can't seem to figure out how to use his DL personnel.

Mercilus is great as a weakside pass rusher. He's made plays when the defense has been in passing down situations. Clowney has typically been better in run support, though not today after his back injury.

Interesting how the defense sorta 'woke up' in the middle of the first half. They lacked emotion during the Titans' first FG drive.

The offensive playcalling was terrible at times. The TE screen to CJ? Yikes. Dropping back to a sack when you just need to run the ball before the half? Wha?

Hopkins is having a terrific season, but he relies on his hands too much. He gives up his route to instead jump for balls, and his blocking is uninspired. But, oh, those hands. His TD was a beaut.

And defensively, suspect to the screen again. Cushing had a somewhat better game though.
