Entering the 2020 NFL season, we knew the Texans were thin at cornerback. Whether your understanding of the word “thin” is “putrid” or “unproven,” no matter; either will suffice.
Then two weeks ago, Bradley Roby got suspended for six games, meaning Vernon Hargreaves III (uh oh) and Phillip Gaines (screams) became Houston’s starting outside cornerback tandem. Friend, let me tell you...that was terrifying. But you know what’s even more chilling? That this afternoon in Chicago, the Texans will be starting a cornerback opposite VH3 (shrieks) that Anthony Weaver and D’Anton Lynn believe is not better than Phillip Gaines.
