A starter from the start, the former Stafford and Baylor star shows all the right...
Elizabeth Conley/Staff photographer“Not really the plays I didn’t make. Obviously, that played a part in it. But the loss overall, that was the thing that really hurt me.”
But the rookie safety out of Baylor has also struggled at times this season – particularly with missed tackles. He has 12 missed tackles in nine games, which is five more than the next Texans player. Perhaps the most consequential missed tackle occurred last week in the second half against the Giants.
“Jalen is our starter and also, he’s our rookie starter,” Smith said Wednesday. “We don’t expect him to be Ronnie Lott right away. We’ll give him a little bit of time to start comparing him that way. Do we need to improve? Yes. And he is making progress like all of our guys are.” Running back Dameon Pierce fumbled it at the Giants’ 8-yard line in the fourth quarter against the Giants. Linebacker Christian Harris has missed a few tackles and has been in incorrect gaps at times. And though Stingley has been relatively quiet, he’s been beat deep on multiple occasions this season, too.
Pitre would study the formation and how the players were lined up and would make his determination based on that. “I was like, this is crazy,” Counter said. “His football intellect. He’s a student of the game. I know when he was at Baylor and now with the Texans, I hear the same thing, he watches a lot of film, and he’s a very smart young man and he’s just got great football instincts.Those instincts helped him excel at Baylor, too, where he was the 2021 Big 12 defensive player of the year and a consensus first-team All-American.
