00:00Yeah, and you make an excellent point on that.

00:07I mean, to unpack that one a little bit, Williams is showing that, I mean, you're coming out

00:11of a system where they weren't sure how that was going to translate to the NFL.

00:14So I think that he is regarding the NFL pace and handling it quite well for somebody who

00:19doesn't have any protection.

00:20I mean, he had seven sacks coming at him tonight.

00:23Every time he had a chance to finally get his eyes downfield, he was on his back.

00:26So that's a tough situation to be in and gauge.

00:28And I think for what he has done from college to now with the O-line that he has to work

00:34behind, promising, but as you mentioned, we'll have to see how the rest of the season shakes

00:39out.

00:40Defense is rising to the occasion.

00:41They had some pretty big plays, which was impressive to watch.

00:44But most importantly, I mean, the Texans are just continuing to roll.

00:47And we kind of talked about this on the Pro Football Today pregame show.

00:51It's kind of hard to gauge this team, especially when it comes to betting, because there's

00:53just so many weapons.

00:55There's so many different looks that they can deliver.

00:56There's so many avenues they can go down in order to pick up a W. I mean, Stefan Diggs

01:01is no longer the diva who wants to be fully incorporated into every play.

01:05And while that's a great thing from a leadership standpoint, it doesn't really pan out for

01:09people's statistics.

01:10So we'll see.

01:11He needs to become more of a red zone guy, at least as the season continues to go along.
