Texans cut Phillip Lindsay

[listopencil]

Pros:

He's shifty as **** and he has great acceleration, body control, vision, and speed. Even though he only weighs about 17 pounds soaking wet he runs tough and will go right up the middle if the line gives him so much as a crease to exploit. He will engage and try to block defenders on pass plays. Although he looks like a change of pace scatback he can carry a larger load of plays during a game than you might expect. He's a play maker when the opportunity presents itself.

Cons:

He's not a good receiver and that hurts because short passes would be a great way to get him the ball in space, but he's just as liable to have the ball bounce off of his hands as catch it. He's not a good blocker and you can't expect him to hold up any more than about a half of a second in pass pro on a regular basis. He's most likely not going to be an asset on a passing play at all. Defenses can completely shut him down by flooding the running lanes.
