TEXANS BULLETIN - Life without Nico #.\n\nHey men it is actually Ari Alexander along with the Texans, who perform the road recently tackling some of the much less skilled crews in the NFL - the Belichick-less New England Patriots.WHAT'S UP WITH THE PATRIOTS?Ever due to the fact that Tom Brady left behind prior to the 2020 time, factors have been dicey. Bill Belichick's Pats simply created the playoffs once in his ultimate 4 years as a head trainer, after only missing all of them two times in a stretch of twenty years (some of those seasons - Brady acquired hurt as well as Matt Cassel participated in QB and also they were still 11-5). Belichick left the staff after last period's 4-13 disaster, as well as former Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayonnaise took over.This period isn't a lot different coming from in 2013. The Patriots misbehave, and also they can not rack up. For the very first time, they will certainly show off their

3 general pick rookie QB Drake Maye, that the Patriots drafted after the Macintosh Jones experiment failed. Maye was actually a superstar at North Carolina, however he's playing behind a terrible annoying product line versus a group who leads the game in pressures.Also, Rhamondre Stevenson, the Patriots running back/only eruptive repulsive weapon is out with an injury. Antonio Gibson will obtain a ton of carries and most likely aim ats away from the backfield.Ja' Lynn Polk, a rookie away from Washington has revealed flashes of becoming a really good NFL recipient, yet without really good QB play it is actually been difficult for him to break out.Jacoby Brissett has actually been a strong veteran link, but now it's the Drake Maye show.WHAT DO THE TEXANS FORGO NICO?The NFL's leading recipient corrects listed here in Houston. However, that recipient, Nico Collins drew his hamstring catching a 67 garden goal elapsed. Collins performs the IR, he is actually out 4 weeks, and the Texans will certainly need to count on their depth. That deepness includes a previous All-Pro in Stefon Diggs, and also some of in 2014's escapement novices Tank Dell. Xavier Hutchinson will be phoned call to play a lot of snaps in Collins' absence, and tight end Dalton Schultz and running back Joe Mixon must receive peppered with targets.That's right, Mixon is probably back in the mix Sunday after entering pair of limited practices during the course of the week. He's detailed as doubtful, but league resources have actually said to KPRC 2 Texans Insider Aaron Wilson that Mixon is actually probably to play Sunday. With Mixon, the Texans may play the complimentary football they intend to play, blending elapsed, run and also participate in action.Nico's certainly not the only high-profile gamer overlooking this activity - beginning cornerback Kamari Lassiter is out, as is beginning security Jimmie Ward. Blocking a strikingly incredibly functionality from the rookie QB in his very first beginning, this is a perfect full week for the Texans to become abused in the secondary given the ineptitude of the Patriots offense.They've scored 16, twenty, 3, thirteen as well as 10 aspects in their 5 video games this year. They are not good on offense.What you need to have to recognize: Texans' Joe Mixon techniques once more, anticipated to play Sunday, Kamari Lassiter, Jimmie Ward out this weekWHAT'S NEXTA cold and possibly stormy Foxborough will definitely organize the Texans Sunday at midday. If Houston may gain and also reach 5-1, it would certainly be the second time in franchise history they've had such a solid beginning (2012 ).
