• Question No. 5

Which player from the Texans defense worries you the most in Week 2?

It has to be J.J. Watt. It always is Watt. To think the Jaguars could have had him, but took Blaine Gabbert one pick ahead of him in 2011. Watt will face Will Richardson this week. He was a right tackle moved over to right guard and then moved to left tackle with Cam Robinson‘s injury.

Richardson played well last week, but the real test will be against one of the best defensive players in the NFL.

• Final Thoughts from the Toro Times

This game should be very competitive, and the Texans must make improvements on their offensive line compared to how some of them played in Week 1, because another six-sack game of Deshaun Watson can’t happen to their franchise quarterback.

For Jacksonville, not having Nick Foles as their starting quarterback, and starting rookie Gardner Minshew is going to be a big difference and like it or not will force both teams to change their game plans, making for an interesting game on Sunday.

The Texans and Jaguars kick off their Week 2 game at NRG Stadium at noon CT in Houston, as both teams are going for their first win of the season.
