Every NFL team’s most glaring weakness for the 2020 season

Houston Texans: Bill O’Brien

It’s baffling to me that Bill O’Brien has a winning record as a head coach. Year after year, he has the Houston Texans competitive which is remarkable given how often it seems he rubs his players the wrong way.

This offseason was another example of this as he frustrated DeAndre Hopkins to the point of no return. After comparing him to Aaron Hernandez, O’Brien then shipped Hopkins to Arizona for a running back with a massive contract and a second-round pick. He then traded for Brandin Cooks with a second-rounder, meaning he basically flipped Hopkins for Cooks and David Johnson. Not great.

Indianapolis Colts: The Passing Game

The Indianapolis Colts have some big-name weapons in their passing game with T.Y. Hilton at wide receiver and Philip Rivers under center. They also have Michael Pitman and Parris Campbell out wide and signed Trey Burton to be their second tight end.

None of these options are terrible, but the question is whether or not it’s enough. Hilton is coming off his least productive season as a pro, which included six missed games. Campbell hardly saw the field as a rookie and Pittman will be in his first season himself.

Burton never lived up to the hype as the Chicago Bears tight end and had 14 catches in eight games last season, leaving Jack Doyle and his 43 catches as one of their most reliable options.

Then there’s Rivers, who looked to be on the decline in 2019. It could all click for Indy, but it could also go really poorly.
