Titans beat COVID, and then they beat the Bills real bad. Should the Texans go after Le’Veon Bell or just stick with Johnson & Johnson? P.J. Hall is turning out to be a pretty smart addition to the Texans defense.
Le’Veon Bell To Houston; What Do The Texans Have To Lose?
By Anthony R. Wood, SI.com
Excerpt: If they are serious about getting something out of this season despite their 1-4 start, Bell should be considered. At his best, he’s one of the best backs in the league, hands down. He’s had three seasons rushing for over 1,200 yards and has 3,160 receiving yards to his name.
Realistically, will he end up in Houston? Likely not. Their cap situation is not ideal, and their running back room is costing them a subs amount of money that they haven’t seen a return on yet.
But if they want the rest of the league to see them as contenders moving forward, and if they can get him on an inexpensive short-term deal, what do they have to lose?
DT P.J. Hall’s different skillset helps the Texans’ defensive line
By Mark Lane, TexansWire
Excerpt: “I think P.J. has good explosion,” interim coach Romeo Crennel said. “He’s got some quickness. He’s got a quick step and has some explosion. His center of gravity, I think, helps him at the line of scrimmage. He’s been showing up, making plays at the line, getting into the backfield at times, impacting plays.”
The former 2018 Oakland Raiders second-round pick has collected 21 tackles, two tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, and a quarterback hit in his five games with the Texans, four of which he has started.
“I think he’s been a good addition even though he’s a different type of guy that we’ve had in the past, but because of his skillset, I think he helps our defense,” Crennel said.
