That interior lineman didn't have anywhere near the quickness to stay in front of him and Houston's hand-fighting skills are second to none.
He just slapped the punch away and ran right past him. And Houston will do that to just about any guard in the league. There were some really nice schematic adjustments/wrinkles on Saturday.
It really was a command performance pretty much across the board.

If they can generate some pressure on the interior with any combination of Jones, Nnadi, Ford and Houston, they can really disrupt what the Pats want to do on offense.
I expect that the blitz % will be the lowest we've seen in any game this season.
