Julian Edelman and Puka Nacua had a section on their podcast episode discussing C.J. Stroud’s 2nd season.
They brought up the situation and how poor it became in year 2 between weapons being injured & coaches not evolving + OL play obviously.
Good listen for #Texans fans
In the Super Bowl last night, Patrick Mahomes was pressured on 38.1% of dropbacks, the 5th highest pressure rate he's faced in his NFL career. Leading to his 2nd worst performance by EPA in his career (-19.3).
#Texans' QB CJ Stroud had an AVERAGE pressure rate of 39.4% this season.
In the Divisional Round, Stroud battled a 51.4% pressure rate & posted a 287yd 0 turnover performance (+0.7 EPA) down 2 starting receivers against Kansas City.
So for anyone that watched what HOF 2x MVP 3x Champion Patrick Mahomes dealt with last night & could not overcome, just know that wasn't even an average game for Year 2 "Sophomore Slump" CJ Stroud.
