But that was last year.

Yes it was. And those players were young last year and even had Armstead miss some time during that stretch.

What I watched Saturday was very concerning the Texans are not that good.

Their defense, even without Watt, is very, very good (and we didn't really have Armstead. They crushed us last year

I know it's preseason but the OL line looked terrible and you can't blame it all on one position.

I didn't blame it on 1 position. I blamed it on 2-3 positions.

LT: replace Peat with Armstead = instant upgrade
G: replace Tim with Peat = instant upgrade

You can hide weaknesses on the oline when you can plan for it and know where the pressure will most likely come from. You can't plan around it when you have 3 holes. Strief is easily serviceable at RT, but he can't have the guy next to him getting dominated play in and out.

Preseason football is the biggest waste of time in sports. College football doesn't have a preseason.
The money you are charging fans for tickets is borderline criminal.

It's time to reduce preseason down to 2 games at most.

The NBA does not need 6 preseason games either.
The NBA mails it in until Christmas day anyway.

MLB might be only sport where you can justify a preseason to get pitchers in game shape.
