Texans wide receiver off to slow star
‘I believe in Tank, I have all the faith in Tank,’ Texans want to get Tank Dell more involved after zero-catch game
Dell was underthrown on a short pass in the second quarter and third quarter with pressure contributing to the third incompletion as Stroud was under heavy duress and wound up being sacked four times and hit seven times overall as he passed for a career-low 86 yards on 10 of 21 passing with 55 net yards due to sacks.
Dell has 20 receptions for 194 yards and one touchdown for the 5-2 Texans, missing one game with badly bruised ribs suffered against the Minnesota Vikings. Dell is on pace for 49 catches for 471 yards and two scores. “I think it is very important,” Stroud said of the need to get Dell the football more. “We have to find a way to try and get him the rock early and often and then go from there. It has to be a focus for us, not only just him, but the whole offense clicking early. That is really my job, to get the ball out on time and to where it is supposed to go. So, yeah, that definitely has to be fixed.”
‘At any moment, I can make a play,’ Texans dynamic Tank Dell reflects on touchdown, long journey back to end zonecoach DeMeco Ryans expressed confidence in Tank Dell ability to get back to making explosive plays again as he did as a rookieDell’s role has been reduced a bit with so many of the targets distributed to Collins, who caught 32 passes for 567 yards and three scores before the injury as well as Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowl selection who leads the Texans with 42 receptions for 415 yards...
“It’s just go out and try to make the plays that come to me,” Dell said. “Bobby is going to dial it up and call what he needs to call to win the game.”
