What it looked like to me was that he knew that Rivers was getting rid of the ball quickly. So he'd rush and then back off a little bit to try and get his hands up to knock down passes.

Houston is a team leader and it's still early in the season. I'm not worried about him as long as his knees hold up.

Well, you did say playing lazily in your OP... ? ... but Raush nailed the response.

Unless you watch him almost every snap like I do, it's probably not fair to question my position. I'm telling you, the guy has been quitting on his rush the past two weeks pretty damn fast, until the 4th quarter.

Dude makes plays. Is he getting as many pressures as prime Hali? No. But he's a beast against the run and he's more important player out there than Berry.

Wow, okay.. full homerville in here. We touched Rivers once or twice all day and some of you act like this thought is crazy.

It's like saying "I wish Reggie White was good enough to play on the right side" Shut the **** up dude. He shuts down the strong side edge like nobody's business, and you're a dipshit who has no ****ing idea what he's talking about. |

Rivers is one of the best in the league at getting the ball out quickly, so I have no doubt scheme played a large part today.
That said, I've never felt "motor" was one of Houston's best attributes. Regardless, he's playing well vs run and pass this year. I have a hard time finding fault in his game in 2017. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I've noticed this as well. Looks like he's damn near playing a spy sometimes. I'm not sure exactly why, maybe he's trying to get his hands up? Maybe he's playing clean up, waiting for the qb to get moved off his spot. I don't question his effort though. He has been an absolute stud against the run, and playing the run is far more difficult physically than rushing the passer. There is a reason why he's playing the way he's playing, but it isn't effort guaranteed.
He's an extremely disciplined player, almost to a fault times. He is almost never out of position on bootlegs, and misdirection plays. He's a true 2 gap type of player in how he holds a block, reads, and reacts. It almost seems like he takes that same apprach to pass rushing if he doesn't initially win. I'm not sure.
