TEXANS BULLETIN - Life without Nico #.\n\nHey men it's Ari Alexander with the Texans, who get on the street today taking on one of the less gifted 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 just before the 2020 season, things have actually been actually tricky. Bill Belichick's Pats simply brought in the playoffs the moment in his last four years as a scalp train, after merely overlooking all of them twice in a span of 20 years (among those seasons - Brady got hurt as well as Matt Cassel played QB as well as they were actually still 11-5). Belichick left the team after last season's 4-13 disaster, and also past Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayonnaise took over.This period isn't much various coming from in 2013. The Patriots misbehave, and also they can't rack up. For the first time, they will definitely show off their

3 overall pick novice QB Drake Maye, that the Patriots composed after the Macintosh Jones experiment stopped working. Maye was actually a super star at North Carolina, yet he's participating in behind a terrible objectionable line against a crew that leads the game in pressures.Also, Rhamondre Stevenson, the Patriots managing back/only explosive offensive item is out along with a personal injury. Antonio Gibson will acquire a lots of holds and most likely aim ats away from the backfield.Ja' Lynn Polk, a rookie away from Washington has revealed flashes of becoming a great NFL recipient, yet without good QB play it's been actually tough for him to break out.Jacoby Brissett has actually been a solid veteran link, but now it is actually the Drake Maye show.WHAT DO THE TEXANS GIVE UP NICO?The NFL's leading receiver is right below in Houston. Unfortunately, that receiver, Nico Collins took his hamstring recording a 67 backyard goal elapsed. Collins is on the IR, he's out 4 full weeks, and the Texans will must rely upon their depth. That depth features a former All-Pro in Stefon Diggs, and also among in 2013's breakout rookies Container Dell. Xavier Hutchinson will be contacted us to play a lot of snaps in Collins' absence, and also limited end Dalton Schultz and operating back Joe Mixon should receive peppered with targets.That's right, Mixon is actually very likely back in the mix Sunday after getting in pair of restricted strategies during the week. He is actually listed as dubious, but game resources have told KPRC 2 Texans Insider Aaron Wilson that Mixon is very likely to participate in Sunday. Along with Mixon, the Texans can play the free football they desire to participate in, combining successfully pass, operate and also participate in action.Nico's not the only top-level gamer missing this game - starting cornerback Kamari Lassiter is out, as is actually beginning safety Jimmie Ward. Barring a strikingly unbelievably functionality coming from the rookie QB in his first start, this is an ideal full week for the Texans to be banged up in the secondary given the ineptitude of the Patriots offense.They've scored 16, twenty, 3, 13 and also 10 factors in their 5 activities this year. They are actually bad on offense.What you need to have to recognize: Texans' Joe Mixon practices once again, counted on to participate in Sunday, Kamari Lassiter, Jimmie Ward out this weekWHAT'S NEXTA cold weather as well as possibly stormy Foxborough will definitely throw the Texans Sunday at noon. If Houston may gain and come to 5-1, it would be actually the 2nd attend franchise background they have actually possessed such a powerful begin (2012 ).
