Drive Starters – The 1st play of each drive can often reveal the intent of a coach to establish his game plan. How committed is he to the run or pass when the team comes off the sideline? We track it each week here –
Wk 6 - Away vs Jacksonville Jaguars : 9 Drives - 4 Run/ 5 Pass 44 % Run
2015 Total: 72 Drives - _28 Run/_44 Pass _39 % Run
2014 Total: 186 Drives - _100_ Run/_86_ Pass _54 % Run
* This statistic doesn’t count any 1-play kneel down drives.
Play Action Snaps – 15
Play-action had been the Texan’s calling card under Gary Kubiak and Matt Schaub thanks to the legs of Arian Foster. The team continued to use playaction to generate big plays especially to DeAndre Hopkins in 2014. The fact remains that this offense goes as far as their running game takes them with the continued question mark at quarterback. Here we will track those snaps.
Wk _6_ - _Away vs Jacksonville __: 15/135 yards_ _9.0 avg yards/play action pass
Wk _5_ - _Home vs Colts ___ : _7/91 yards_ _13.0 avg yards/play action pass
Wk _4_ - _Away vs Falcons___ : _9/95 yards_ _10.5 avg yards/play action pass
Wk _3_ - _Home vs Tampa Bay___: _6/93 yards_ _15.5 avg yards/play action pass
Wk _2_ - _Away vs Panthers___ : _6/23 yards_ _3.8 avg yards/play action pass
Wk _1_ - _Home vs KC Chiefs___ : _8/81 yards_ _10.1 avg yards/play action pass
2015 Season Total: _51/518 yards_ _10.2 avg yards/play action pass
2014 Season Total: _92/676 yards_ _7.3 avg yards/play action pass
Shotgun Snaps – 19
Shotgun snaps are fine on 3rd down and in the 2 minute drill. But, we track this stat from week to week to make sure the Texans aren’t getting too lazy in using it. The NFL run/pass split across the league is 15%/85% and most teams rarely run out of the shotgun with any time of consistent success. Bill O’Brien is showing a tendency to be in shotgun a lot and run the ball out of it, a lot. The Texans consistently split the running back out wide when in shotgun I assume wanting to exploit a matchup on the perimeter. It remains to be seen whether they have the personnel to do it but thats a separate issue.

Splash Plays
Let’s take a look at the “Splash Plays” from Week _6_ vs the _Jacksonville Jaguars_:
Splash Plays are key impact plays from the defense. Usually, they are obvious, but there are some that blur the line. I have listed time and play of each one for those who want to double check my work.
For more, read a detailed explanation of this study here: What is a splash play?

Blitzing Report
Romeo Crennel has been around the NFL for over 30 years with the past 12 spent as either a head coach or a defensive coordinator. He is known for being an aggressive coordinator who isn’t afraid to blitz and blitz often. He is not going to stand back and play coverage on most 3rd downs, he will bring the heat and force the issue on the QB. We will first track opposing plays of 20 yards or more.
