Why is Houston in coverage?

[petegz28]

2 significant plays on 3rd down and Houston is in coverage, not rushing the passer?


ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME, SUTTON?!?!?!?!?

Sutton didn't put Houston on Brown. Houston was spying Leveon Bell for the short screen who ended up going into pass pro. He ended up on Brown in zone coverage.

This wasn't an obvious pass situation. It was 3rd and 3. Leveon Bell was shredding us. I was a lot more worried about the run or the screen than I was the pass. Maybe if we had real coverage backers instead of relying on LBs we picked up off the street, we'd have more confidence in our LBs to make the kind of plays we asked Houston to make yesterday.

meh. not good enough. 3rd and 3 you rush your best pass rusher and force Ben into a split second decision.
