The question is how good the houston defence is. Even in their best year they went 8-8 and in that the offence carried the game.
vanilla 4-3 helped sanchaz also the 2 interception the houston dropped. good start but want to see against a aggresive 3-4 that every qb struggles for the first few yrs.
The Texans defense played good, they were stuffing our run for the first half. They were blitzing us pretty heavily. And they have some studs on defense. Cushing their first round pick is going to be a very good player for a long time.
Sanchez great with his pocket awareness, he moves around so well. And the Texans did not drop 2 INTs, they had 1 that could of been had where Leon ripped the ball. The other was a tipped pass.
For what he did on the road as a rookie is impressive, it was his first real game. And the run game wasn't there, he had to make the plays on 3rd down which he was. He looked better as the game went on.
Our defense looked dominant, Schaub was hit constantly. Andre Johnson did absolutely nothing with Revis on him. Slaton couldn't get anything, the Jets defense dominated their OL. Kris Jenkins had a great game, Bart Scott and David Harris had great games.
And you know what? Vernon Gholston had a good game! He had some QB pressures and had a TFL, hes looking like a football player under Rex.
This was no a fluke with our defense, expect the Jets to have a good defense under Rex. We had talent but were drastically under coached by Mangini, his conservative game plans hurt us.
Also the Jets run game should get better, our OL was missing some blocks they normally wouldn't. And we had near 200 yards rushing.
I think the future is bright for Sanchez though, he looks like the real deal. He has that feel for rush that the greats have, he also doesn't get rattled, hes confident and poised out there.
