We’ve got to get Eric Murray off the field
Everybody pretty much did their job here in the back end except Murray. This defense looks so much worse because of him. The guy just doesn’t have a good read on coverage. It sucks that we are pressed to play him bc we are forced too due to Sorenson and Berry being hurt. FWIW Armani Watts played 16 defensive snaps in the Steelers game as opposed to 3 in LA. I think he’s coming up to speed. Only a matter of time until Murray is on the bench and we look better. |

My only problem with Fuller right now is that he isn't playing up to my expectations, or at least he didn't in the LAC game. One of his "things" was supposed to be open field tackling and he whiffed a couple of times REALLY bad but he was better against Pitt at least.

With the cap space, I’d make a strong play for Anthony Barr. I hold out zero hope for Kpass or Speaks. Not saying they won’t come around, but I wouldn’t be planning on it at all. |

Houston is a shell of his former self. Extending him would be as dumb as extending Hali was. Houston either needs to take a significant pay cut or be released. We can save $14 million by releasing him. They should also seriously consider moving on from Berry in 2020. It's time to go young on defense and build around young players.

Well of course that's a whole different story. This regime has been unable to find talent on defense.

That's one play. Most of the time he simply doesn't pass the eye test.

He hasn’t been nearly as bad as the box score would lead you to believe, but I do agree that he needs to play better. |

The problem is, at his salary he can't just be decent. His salary should bring a performance similar to what Von Miller or Khalil Mack bring on a weekly basis. I know that's probably never going to happen, so it's probably time to start planning for a future beyond Houston.

The great thing about the situation is that you can actually spend most/all of the high picks on defense again.
As it stands right now, on the offense they need to re-sign/sign a Center, a 2nd string tight end and a wide receiver. I say if the offense keeps looking like this, bring everyone back on offense (Conley, DAT, Morse hell maybe Harris if cheap enough) and splurge on the defense in FA and the draft. |

It seems like Nelson also struggled with following his receiver rather than passing him off.
Bottom line - they looked like a team that hadn't ever practiced together, let alone played a game together. They have to dial way back on their number of zone calls because that secondary simply doesn't seem able to play it together. I don't know if it's a Murray problem or a Nelson problem, but the both of those guys mixed together was sure as hell SOME kind of problem. And when you have ILB's that aren't comfortable getting the right depth on their drops as well...man, there's just open grass all over the place out there. Gotta ride or die with man coverage and hope to generate some pressure right now, IMO.

I had high hopes that Murray had pulled it together during the offseason. sigh
