How improved is the Texans O-line at the mideseason point? PFF weighs in

For those wondering if the Houston Texans have fixed their offensive line woes? One might want to take a look at the recent rankings from Pro Football Focus.

The Houston Texans have invested heavily to bolster their offensive line, aiming to address concerns following the offseason. Pro Football Focus (PFF) has recently evaluated the team's progress at the mid-season point. Despite spending over $30 million on protection for quarterback C.J. Stroud and enhancing run-blocking capabilities, the Texans' line remains an area of concern.

The roster overhaul, including the draft picks of Aireontae Ersery and Keylan Rutledge, has shown some improvement. However, the offensive line, particularly at the guard position, remains a liability, ranking in the bottom 10 for sacks allowed. Rookie Rutledge has shown promise, earning a PFF grade of 61.3, marking his first grade above 60.0 since Week 1.

Despite these gains, the team's run-blocking struggles persist, ranking 29th in rushing and 30th in yards per attempt. The Texans are set to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 10, with kickoff at Noon on FOX.
