3. How does the offensive line hold up?

This past offseason, the Texans picked up OG Senio Kelemente, OG Zach Fulton and OT Seantreal Henderson. On paper, this O-Line looks much better compared to last years group.

Kelemente was a player most Saints fans were displeased to see walk away from NOLA, he has been a really good OG for them and is a very versatile lineman. However, he has been underwhelming this preseason as it appears at times he is getting blown up and outright beaten by the defensive lineman. Hopefully, Sunday that will be corrected because I think Kelemente will end up being a fantastic addition to this offensive line at the end of the day.

Henderson is an interesting addition, he was one of the top offensive linemen in the country in high school and at the pro level he hasn’t really panned out. Some of that could be because he has chron’s disease. Chron’s disease can really mess up everything in your body and we know for a fact that Seantreal knows that. The talent is there, we just gotta pry it out of him

Fulton is just an ox up front and should help solidify the right side of the offensive line. He’s a leader for this unit. I’m also really excited to see Julien Davenport start at LT on Sunday, this guy is a tank and has the talent to be a franchise LT for this Texans team going into the future.

Another thing to note is that the Pats don’t really have a pass rush, which will help us big time overall. Expected OL for Sunday: Julien Davenport at left tackle, Senio Kelemente at left guard, Nick Martin at center, Zach Fulton at right guard, and Seantreal Henderson at right tackle.
