C.J. Stroud does better, team does worse

For those who missed Saturday’s 2nd preseason game, featuring the Houston Texans and the Miami Dolphins, you didn’t actually miss much. Unlike the Texans’ receivers, blockers and tacklers who missed a lot.

The Texans defense gave notice on the first pass of the game that SWARM was still a thing when Denzel Perryman intercepted the first pass from Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa. Unfortunately, that was one of the few highlight reel worthy plays the entire D would deliver.

Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud came out and looked vastly improved over week 1, connecting on 7 of his 12 passes for 60 yards and a 71.
