What was arguably a position of total weakness last season is slowly turning into one of, well, not absolute weakness. In PFF’s final assessment of the 2020 season, the Texans’ defensive backs landed at 27th place despite giving up 4,104 yards, 30 passing touchdowns, and only generating 3 - yes, THREE - interceptions.
Houston kept Bradley Roby on the outside this season, and he was their best defensive back. Roby has always been a lot better on the outside as opposed to the slot. In his nine games of considerable action this season, he finished 20th in outside coverage grade.
