Skins need to further invest in the trenches next season

Yeah, but if we had monster line, Schaub would have already been on the ground.

I hear ya, but our D- line is not always going to their there so we have to trust the our DB's. I agree with you, both groups need to take some responsibility.

Yeah, but I don't think even Ed Reed would have been able to stop Johnson on that play. Johnson is going to pull it in of at least 95% of the time because he has the size and hands.

A healthy Ed Reed turns hanging balls into pick 6s.

I still want to know where the effing corner was on that play. It was 3rd and 10 and we release the best WR in football on our safeties? Big time lapse by the coordinator.

He can't defy the laws of physics though. Johnson is bigger than him and has super glue hands.

It was 4th and 10

I thought it was but didn't feel like researching it. That makes it even worse.

Some of the most negative plays for our defense happened with Schaub under immense pressure right off the snap. He's great at beating the type of coverages we were playing, but a lot of times, he was only able to extend drives via off balance throws across the field on third down. They couldn't run the ball for crap against our linebackers.

I think the biggest reason they scored as much as they did is they were very lucky on third downs, making really low percentage throws but executing them anyways. The Texans offense LOOKED out of sync all day, but they managed to still move the chains while looking like a pop warner team. Sometimes, that's football.

They made more plays than we did without really winning the line of scrimmage. At least their offense did against our defense.
