Football Outsiders: Texans 11th In DVOA Despite 0-2 Start Starting out 0-2 is a bummer. We waited a year to see this team perform at full strength Trevor Daniel Jersey White , and now it’s here, and now the Texans are 0-2. They lost the game they always lose to the Patriots, and they lost a game they should have won to Mike Vrabel, Blaine Gabbert, and the missing-their-two-starting-offensive-tackles Titans, because of this play of course. via GfycatYes, yes Sammie Coates Jersey , yes, that’s the stuff. Things are bleak. For Houston to fulfill their postseason aspirations, Sunday is a must-win game. This is where things are, but there’s some good news. If you like football stats that ooze outside of the boundaries of yards and points scored, you know what Football Outsiders is, and if you know what Football Outsiders is, then you know what DVOA is. In this week’s release of their DVOA rankings Benardrick McKinney Jersey , the Texans are 11th despite the finality of their 0-2 record. This is what FO has to say:Things are bad, but they aren’t done. The points aren’t there, but Houston has moved the ball well. The defense played great against Tennessee, and if it wasn’t for that pesky fake punt touchdown, Bill O’Brien playing for the field goal with some screen passes, and the defense bending to allow two field goals to end the game, Houston probably would have beaten the Titans. If the Texans takes care of the Giants at home and the Colts next week Ibraheim Campbell Jersey , everything is normal again.Houston Texans News: Kevin Johnson To Injured Reserve, Another Cornerback Signed After suffering a concussion in the loss to New England (his second in about three weeks), it’s no surprise that the Texans placed Kevin Johnson on Injured Reserve today.What may surprise you, however, is that the team has designated K-Jo to return.Plans can change, of course, but I know many Texans fans were of the mind that Johnson shouldn’t play again this season; some were even actively hoping he’d follow C.J. Fiedorowicz’s lead and retire altogether.With K-Jo on IR Bradley Roby Jersey White , a roster spot came open, and the Texans have chosen to fill it with Shareece Wright.You can learn more about Wright from Wright in the video below.Finally, and perhaps most interestingly, the Texans worked out a bunch of other players today.That in and of itself isn’t shocking; Tuesdays are typically the day teams across the league work out potential street free agents.What is notable for the Texans is that group had three kickers and three punters in it.I thought Ka’imi Fairbairn kicked well against the Patriots, but perhaps the Texans aren’t satisfied.Or maybe they’re just doing their due diligence.Trevor Daniel, the rookie punter who was kept instead of Shane Lechler, wasn’t as impressive in his first NFL regular season game.Still Corey Moore Jersey White , could Daniel really be in danger of being replaced already, especially if he doesn’t perform well against the Titans on Sunday?I await your thoughts on any or all of these tidbits below.
