Nick Caserio failed the Houston Texans. Again.
In the middle of his sixth year as general manager, his fourth season with DeMeco Ryans, the Texans still have a disappointing offensive line.
The Texans are 20th in quarterback pressure percentage. They’re allowing 13 pressures per game. With 15 sacks allowed, they’re almost halfway to last season’s 31 sacks.
Then there’s the rushing attack. An offseason spent retooling a disappointing facet of the offense has yielded little improvement. It’s actually worse. They’re 29th in rushing yards per game, averaging nearly 25 yards per game fewer than last season. Last season’s 3.9 yards per rush has dropped to 3.6. Each of these statistics is a four-year low for the offense.
How did Caserio fail?
“I don’t really have a good answer,” the general manager said this week when asked how the offensive line is still inconsistent.
Let’s try to find the answer.
