Houston Texans: Without Watt Can They Compete?
By Bob Dove
How do the Texans improve the offense?
Duane Brown’s return helps. If Osweiler improves as he vows to helps more. But, improving the offensive line is the key to improving the offense. At the risk of beating a dead horse, the offensive line improvement must come from outside the organization. It doesn’t have to be Joe Thomas, but it has to be someone better than any offensive lineman on the Texans’ current roster not named Duane Brown.
An offense that can control the clock and put points on the board will compensate for a defense diminished by Watt’s absence. Improving the offense is much easier to achieve than replacing a healthy J. J. Watt. He is irreplaceable. But in 2016 some team is going to win without J. J. Watt. Why shouldn’t that team be the Texans?
