Analyzing the Houston Texans was difficult from 2021-22. There wasn’t much to readily identify as catalytic to the team’s success.
There were technical aspects of how the team could be successful. If only Lovie Smith’s Tampa 2 scheme could effectively rush the passer or generate enough takeaways, or if the offense found a way to convert third downs, maybe Houston could stay competitive with the seventh playoff spot as their ceiling. Instead the Texans floundered with 4-13 and 3-13-1 finishes.
