Football Outsiders On the Texans’ 2018 Pass Rush

The Texans’ pass rush was decent last year. J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney were destroyers, a torrential onslaught, world devours from week four on, but the rest of the pass rush was lackluster. Whitney Mercilus played out of position and didn’t get to the quarterback. And the rest can’t rush the passer. Joel Heath, Brandon Dunn, D.J. Reader, and Angelo Blackson who will now make $4 million a year to not get to the quarterback, are rats glued to traps when the quarterback drops back to pass.
