Apple gave up a big play early. Never to be heard from again. Which is great.

I was about to say the same thing. He’s not an elite cornerback or whatever but the guy gave up one big play and that was pretty much it. Will Fuller isn’t an easy match up, nor is covering a guy 1 on 1 with no safety help over the top.

I would say he is not elite, YET. He sure has the talent to be elite and I think he looked good yesterday.

He was pretty good in coverage after that first long catch but sure missed a lot of tackles that led to big yardage though on runs and a few pass plays. Hopefully he gets better.

PJ Williams didn’t have a terrible game considering that the Texans have some pretty good slot WRs. Once again, he was good in short areas but doesn’t have long speed. Be also made some big tackles. Even on that pass to Stills he wasn’t beat bad, it was a great pass but a bad coverage call for the situation.

That slant that Lattimore got beat on wasn’t either CBs fault, it was a nice pass through a hole in zone coverage. If anything it was Anazlone’s fault because he decided to pickup a WR running a drag in man coverage leaving the middle open.

Defense definitely needs some work but I didn’t expect them to shut down the Texans offense. 1-0 is all that matters and we are a game up on the entire division!
