It’s hard to believe the Houston Texans have just the 19th ranked pass defense in the NFL despite having such a mean front seven led by J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, and Whitney Mercilus. Part of that reason could be the slow deterioration of their coverage on the back end. They miss A.J. Bouye more than ever. His reliable coverage still hasn’t been replaced and now Jonathan Joseph is losing steam due to age. Former 1st round pick Kevin Johnson hasn’t worked out. It’s time they made another crack at it. This time they should get things right. Greedy Williams comes from a factory at LSU with the usual perks:  size, speed, fluidity, toughness and ball skills.
