Marvin Harrison Jr.
(Texans Debut Thoughts)

12 snaps. 4 targets. 3 catches, 34 yards. Every catch moved the chains.

• Half his snaps were run blocks. On a slot stalk block and a goal-line rep, he drove his man out of the play. A+ Effort.

• (Q2 6:14, Q3 12:59) Smooth underneath. He beat his man on a shallow cross and settled into a soft spot in the zone on a dig.

• (Q3 10:52) Houston trusted him already: 3rd & 2 in the red zone, and he moved the sticks.

• On a deep post route, he got behind his man but wasn't targeted. Stroud took the check down and moved the chains. At the very least, it showed there was potential for a bigger day.

• (Q2 5:47) He didn't separate on a curl, and Jarrian Jones drove on it for the PBU.

It wasn't a lot to give a true evaluation, but he showed he's willing and ready to do his job one week in.

C.J. Stroud said, "It felt like old times… we'll get him more touches and more plays here in the season."

"Felt like old times" has a real chance to blossom into something. I'm truly rooting for the guy to succeed.

NFL Offensive Rankings Through Week 4:

[Josh Liles ✘ @JoshLiles28]

Jahmyr Gibbs is a volume back for sure, but against Carolina, I’m not super confident.

Weeks 2/3 the Panthers held Bijan Robinson to 16 carries, 72 yards and 0 TDs and Quinshon Judkins 18 carries, 70 yards and 0 TDs.

Absolutely no one would fault you for thinking he’d still have a big game… it’s Gibbs of course… just gonna be a heck of a matchup. #NFL

I got curious… what would it take to catch Emmitt Smith's 164 rushing TDs…

In order to get 80 more TD’s at his current career pace (0.66 per game, 85 TDs in 129 games) it would take him around 121 games into around week 5 of 2033, age 37…

Emmitt Smith’s record is absolutely insane.

{This assumes 17-game seasons and no missed games. For comparison, he's only missed one start since 2019.}
