Value of Things: By the numbers
Putting the Texans offense under the microscope
This week's analysis focuses on the performance of the Houston Texans offense, specifically looking at quarterback C.J. Stroud and the passing game. Stroud's impressive 95.7 quarterback rating has led many to believe he is on track for one of the best seasons ever for a Texans quarterback. However, there are a few areas that could use improvement.
The success of the passing game can be measured by various statistics, including the percentage of targets becoming catches and the success rate in terms of first downs and predicted first downs. The report highlights the performance of the top five receivers for the Texans, noting that some players are having more success than others.
The report also discusses the lack of success in the running game, citing that the Texans are among the bottom ten teams in the league against the run. David Montgomery, the primary runner, has been the least effective, taking the majority of the team's carries and getting hit more often than any other runner. The report suggests that the team's success could be improved by relying more on players like Dalton Schultz and David Montgomery, as well as incorporating more jet sweeps into their offense.
