My take away from Haener’s performance last night, 🤷, that said the level of Oline play was awful.

We left for the hotel not long after the 3rd quarter ended it seemed that the Oline was using the current “Open Borders Policy” for their blocking scheme. Whether it was communication, skill level or full bore pressure defense whatever grouping or combination of our Oline personnel they were not up to the task. it was not a matter if someONE was pressuring the QB but how many. Miller and Merriweather were being met in the backfield or at best the line scrimmage.

Either Houston’s down side of roster players are significantly better than the Saints, possibly but not so much in 2 previous games. Or possibly Houston gave more of their potential 1’s and 2’s more playing time trying to better evaluate their roster’s best 53 thru 60.

Went to see Haener probably last chance till next offseason running an offense. Not ready for prime time but with time the guy moves well, lively arm, stands and take a hit and gets back up. Didn’t see most of the 4th quarter put he was working thru his reads when he had the time.

Side note, when the first quarter ended and teams swap sides, Peat took almost the entire commercial break to walk to the opposite end of the playing field. Look like a man in need of a samich or 2.
