TEXANS NEWSLETTER - Life without Nico #.\n\nHey people it is actually Ari Alexander along with the Texans, who perform the road this week handling one of the less talented crews in the NFL - the Belichick-less New England Patriots.WHAT'S UP WITH THE PATRIOTS?Ever because Tom Brady left behind before the 2020 time, things have been dicey. Bill Belichick's Pats merely created the playoffs as soon as in his last 4 years as a head coach, after only overlooking all of them two times in a span of twenty years (among those periods - Brady received hurt and also Matt Cassel played QB as well as they were still 11-5). Belichick left behind the staff after final period's 4-13 disaster, and past Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo took over.This season isn't considerably different coming from last year. The Patriots misbehave, and they can not score. For the very first time, they are going to show off their

3 total selection rookie QB Drake Maye, who the Patriots drafted after the Macintosh Jones practice stopped working. Maye was actually a super star at North Carolina, but he is actually playing responsible for a dreadful annoying collection versus a staff that leads the league in pressures.Also, Rhamondre Stevenson, the Patriots operating back/only explosive objectionable item is actually out along with an accident. Antonio Gibson will certainly get a lot of holds and likely targets away from the backfield.Ja' Lynn Polk, a novice away from Washington has shown flashes of coming to be a great NFL receiver, but without great QB play it's been difficult for him to damage out.Jacoby Brissett has been actually a sound veteran link, and now it's the Drake Maye show.WHAT DO THE TEXANS FORGO NICO?The NFL's leading receiver corrects here in Houston. Sadly, that receiver, Nico Collins took his hamstring capturing a 67 lawn touchdown successfully pass. Collins performs the IR, he's out 4 full weeks, and also the Texans will definitely need to rely on their deepness. That deepness features a past All-Pro in Stefon Diggs, and among last year's outbreak newbies Container Dell. Xavier Hutchinson are going to be actually contacted us to participate in a ton of snaps in Collins' lack, and tight end Dalton Schultz as well as managing back Joe Mixon must acquire peppered with targets.That's right, Mixon is actually probably back in the mix Sunday after getting inside 2 restricted techniques in the course of the full week. He's listed as dubious, but game sources have informed KPRC 2 Texans Insider Aaron Wilson that Mixon is actually probably to participate in Sunday. Along with Mixon, the Texans can play the complimentary football they wish to play, mixing successfully pass, operate as well as play action.Nico's certainly not the only high-profile player overlooking this game - starting cornerback Kamari Lassiter is out, as is actually beginning safety and security Jimmie Ward. Blocking a strikingly exceptionally efficiency from the novice QB in his initial start, this is actually an excellent full week for the Texans to be abused in the secondary given the ineptitude of the Patriots offense.They've racked up 16, 20, 3, 13 and 10 aspects in their 5 games this year. They are not good on offense.What you require to recognize: Texans' Joe Mixon practices again, anticipated to play Sunday, Kamari Lassiter, Jimmie Ward out this weekWHAT'S NEXTA cold weather and also likely rainy Foxborough will definitely throw the Texans Sunday at midday. If Houston may succeed and get to 5-1, it would certainly be the 2nd attend franchise record they've possessed such a tough start (2012 ).
