Scouting Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson

The QB Scho Show #7!

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson presents unique challenges for the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles, and not just with his legs. That’s not to say that the Eagles shouldn’t be concerned with that aspect of his game, as it’s certainly dangerous.

Watson can get it done with his arm too and the Texans’ combo of Watson and DeAndre Hopkins is dynamic. The Eagles will have to neutralize Hopkins as best they can and make Watson win in other ways. This likely means following the Bill Belichick school of thought of taking away an offenses’ best receiving threat by bracketing and doubling them.

Beyond that, the Texans will challenge the Eagles with play-action. Over the last three weeks they’ve used run-fakes on 27% of their dropbacks and Watson has a 145.9 QB Rating working off those concepts. This often comes from their 12 personnel grouping, which they use a league-high 37% of the time. One play-call they’ll dial up is “Yankee”, which is a favorite around the league.

We detail what else the Texans will dial up and travel back in time to revisit Watson the draft prospect in The QB Scho Show #7! PLUS there’s a special Christmas themed “Night Before Texans” segment that you won’t want to miss! Listen to it on the media player below or click here if the player doesn’t load. FLY EAGLES FLY!
