Houston Texans vs. New England Patriots | 2023 Preseason Week 1 Game Highlights

and this year's draft pick taken from Ohio State for the brief drop, throws it to the bench with a big hit, the receiver applies the knowledge they absorb now in the third and a Singletary avoids Dubai and then falls forward for the first down . nice jump around the penetrating linebacker at an offensive point for the first time at her since the Niners staff with a new closeout. Stroud looks to throw under pressure and drops, leaving Daniel Cauley with a sack for New England, so look. The pressure here will be internal pressure and that's the worst thing for a quarterback.

You can handle pressure from the edge, but when you have a guard that gets hit like that you can't put your feet on it and you're left with the right quarterback. there and that's a great sack that's a 15 yard loss for the Houston Texans on the sack of a quality Blair that the Patriots picked up and he's really been a fixture inside for them now he's walking again being pressured escapes Chase to the another side again a quality in Pursuit along with Vibe, but at the beginning of his tenure with the Patriots, now Stroud stands his ground and throws him with veneers and on the return of the bats he comes forward while Mills takes him back to the middle, tries turn the corner on the opposite side, he's still standing, take until he spills with the 24 year old yellow combo right here at the bottom and you see Mills floating in the middle, he's playing that thief technique, read the quarterback field.

The quarterback's eyes see CJ Stroud, he looks to the right. he stares at it he throws it he takes it away a couple of years ago he recovered a loose ball he debuted in the

preseason

as a patriot now the Green Goblin with a selection to start this

preseason

he played false by zappy intensifying he throws it and strong in the open field he can't get away from being dragged off the field by the ball catcher at the beginning of training camp and now with the third down approaching, being pressured until he falls, no chance, no chance, the third four has been the Patriots, the kicker of reliable plays. last two years for a 44-yard attempt with a center in place drives this kick up the middle The Patriots take the lead from the start a big safety retired from football on the field in motion preparing a bunch on the left and a sprint out a wobbly shroud that throws him behind Sims' receiver, takes a hit so deep from Sean Wade for the Patriots Zappy Bailey changing things up at the line of scrimmage and a pass to Kevin Harris, who is cut in the backfield, lobs him that gives us a chance with a third and long arrival, people talk a lot about the quarterback play for Bill O'Brien's offense uh McDermott captained on the left now stands in fires on the near side for Thornton he goes and knocks it down beautiful cheesy throw and a great catch by Thornton for 27. but he spins this one, it's 101 on the outside, it's a little Shake route, you'll see Bailey, he feels the pressure going up the middle, he knows he has You have to get rid of this, you see the safety come off the edge this is what Thorden has to do, he has to go up and rise like this, he did it a couple of times and now he's happy on the short drop, turns to the right, shoots in the floor, Nixon along the tightrope to another first. down for New England Bailey zappy and a gift for Harris moving back and forth for the first down for the Patriots, everyone starts the 75th drive. five yard penalty, third down, quick look at third down and 15. zappy fakes it well JoJo lo leaves for JJ Taylor, he has good Wheels but they took him out of bounds, yes, new quarterback for the Houston Texans, they trade CJ Stroud for Davis Mills with the delivery and a run to the stomach, a pick up five there for the Houston running back.

Mechi singletary in motion some weight in his nickel box through pressure from Mills on the fly throws him to the tight end and Shrek is knocked down to the open field good play there by Bledsoe and splits for the Patriots again Boone in the run found him grabbing the skirt of his shirt, González moves in for contact, but a first down for the Texans is worth 12. Bills puts on pressure and almost chases him, but watches him pass, grabs the shirt, hangs and I don't know. who actually makes that attack, so the teams wearing keeper caps are out now in a

game

situation, so the actual contact, the target being chased by the target, hits him, so he is the defensive left and he'll come here, but watch him stay, watch him stay with Mills here.

Excuse me. yeah, look, the pressure is not absorbed inwards, it gets there, there's the catch and there's a good shot with that quick left hand. Gonzalez and Trail technique from the other side, so a little bit of man coverage here and boom hits that ball with that left hand, good ball skills, looked like it was starting to come out, although the winds only came with a effort to keep him around this offseason, although it looks like linebacker Munson comes out with a fumble and, in fact, the Patriots have the turnover, but It was Keon White with a big hit, that player immediately and may hit here, balls on the ground, but watch Keon White come in right there with the big left shoulder, your head drops.

The Patriots take over, I thought when they drafted him. It seemed more of a defense type, that type of mold. I think you can do a little more than that. We've also seen it used in different ways during his career, four years starting, that was happy. a 35 like Advanced Rapture and tries to escape through the middle, but he can't do it. Mills quickly throws to the most Dells with a Sprint to the open field and Corral has a good play at The Tackle, but a big play for Houston has a starter. that's a 24 yard catch and run for a bit of a misnomer, Dell, that's a good reason, right where it goes for the football got rid of it, come on, stop here on our first and goal to go Mills looking at the Zone Backward Annotation. shoulders, we made it bubbly, he understood it and kept the touchdown.

Houston was a foot out of bounds, although we could see the end now. This is a great throw from Mills, a fantastic drive, oh, he sets his feet and turns, tries to secure. he catches it and comes back and stays with it if he brought the ball back to his body. I think he's not a catch, he kept the ball away by squeezing it a little bit. delayed start for strong, not crossed for 25. he takes the center and throws it down a little. and the catch for another first down for Houston in New England territory to the 31-yard line Jared Wayne on the receiving end for 19.

Alright, take a look at his slot

game

up here, so it really is side trips. out of leverage. great route that comes up, creates some space there, gives the fullback the jump forward despite Demarcus Mitchell Houston's hit increasing his lead, yeah we used to call this p12 to give the fullback two holes, slows down the shoulder and Look, that's the push. The Texans get the push and you got all that too. Yeah, well the problem was as we look at Trace McSorley at quarterback, he now he goes down, now he gets picked up, but the guy turns the hit to avoid a safety, he's in it. series, I mean, it's a killer break down the middle right there and, uh, if that's not Jake, oh good job staying on your feet without dropping your knee on the 10-point lead Keenan design, roll out to the end zone for Bachman, good throw, he takes it to the pylon for another Houston touchdown and what did they do they came back to him on the left side, punt with the boundary guy there's the quick move right there we saw Julian Edelman Wes Walker Danny Amendola Troy Brown my goalie here I'm going to dale Patriots running up the middle read Malik Cunningham a quarterback out of the two minute warning backing up oh as he breaks the goal line for a touchdown New England I don't know how you see this, okay?

Then what do you do? you've got everyone here in the middle, he knows it, he still has to make two guys miss, he does that and then he'll put his shoulder down because you've got another safety coming in from the top and you know, solid work from zappy All Things Considered tonight includes that long drive to take one Thor Thornton made a play tonight and I think it's something he can build on for himself.
