Just got back from the game.
My take is that this team game planned for a Texans team that was second or dead last in the league in rushing. They showed no respect for the run game, and Houston happily ran it down their throats.
I'm unsure is the coverage issues are the secondary or the pass rush not getting home. I lean pass rush, as Stroud had an eternity on some of those deep 3rd down conversions, but the safeties are an issue.
Hill has the potential to be great, but he's not what Bates was in his current state. People liked to badmouth Bates due to the contract shenanigans, but he was probably the best in the league playing center field in single high. I was worried about how they'd replace him, and I'm not overly surprised at the drop-off.
