Film Study: Derek Stingley was AWESOME last year for the Houston Texans 

In fairnes Stingley was playing many bizarre off coverages in Lovies scheme his fist year. He also battled injuries...DeMeco has him playing in a similar fashion but noticably more agressive. You could see the talent then though. Last year proved he is who we thought he was.

Just fyi, that first INT on Wilson in the flat was tipped by 51

Caserio love’s versatility, I like Stingley over sauce because of that reason, also the USC kid Caserio drafted this year, even though he played Safety, I can see him playing Corner because of his height and arm length

I feel like no one has really gotten it right. If you really watched Sting in the 22 season, you could see the talent shine BUT he was very clearly not used to NFL zone schemes to start the year. I could see him getting much better and understanding his role as the year progressed. Say what you want but Lovie is a good teacher and a lot of the guys that were here from 22 didn't just grow under Ryans but also Lovie (Sting, King, Cashman, etc.) This past year, Sting is a lot more comfortable, in a much better environment and a more complimentary scheme to his skills.

Now if only Pitre can get the memo..

Stingley is extremely explosive. There are only a handful of players who are faster than him.

Thanks

Stingley couldn't stay on the field in '22. He was injured before he was drafted and he was injured after he was drafted. BUT, he had bad coaching and was on a bad team with no oomph for his first two years for sure . It also takes some guys longer to learn how to take care of themselves as far as strength and conditioning go. Nico Collins, WR, was hurt every season before '23/'24 as well. He wasn't considered very good either. Kenyon Green, left guard, missed all of last year and was off the field more than on the year before. The jury is still out on him, but he looks like an o-lineman now instead of like a marshmallow man so I'm hoping this is his breakout year.

Heres one I was looking for. If Stroud, Anderson and Dell can make sopohomore jumps the team will be crazy.

Lets be honest the reason for the jump is because we dont force him to play the flat in a Tampa 2 ever play.

Jack Jones with the Raiders next lol... please and thank you

As a Houston fan, I can confidently say majority of Texans fan are happy with Sting over Sauce. No doubt Sauce is a great coverage CB but Sting brings more and is a much better versatile corner than Sauce. I think Sting also brings a type of physicality at the CB position that's lacking in Sauce

Was he worth picking over sauce tho?

I don’t like what you’re saying. Who’s to say that sauce is gonna be heads and shoulders above stingley. I think stingley overtakes him this year. Stingley ball skills can’t be taught.
