The Patriots should be prepared for heavy O-Line packages against the Texans

The Patriots often take advantage of 6 offensive lineman formations, with Cameron Fleming and Nate Solder taking significant reps there over the last few years. But last week, the Houston Texans took this strategy to the next level. Week 1, the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that finished tied for 19th in 2015 and 21st in 2016 in sacks, had a whopping 10 sacks vs the Texans. For a team that’s playing young and still raw QBs in Tom Savage and Deshaun Watson, that was completely unacceptable.
