Malik Willis isn’t ready and that’s OK. TitanUp
down the sidelines. Sloppy footwork and a failure to reset his base led to Willis overshooting Okonkwo, who didn’t have a Texans defender near him. Okonkwo may have scored a touchdown had Willis completed the layup.
Willis curiously exited the pocket and flipped the ball out of bounds as opposed to running for 10-plus yards in the second quarter. Tennessee had been successfully executing their two-minute drill prior to Willis’ mental blunder. Willis was sacked on the next play, mercilessly taking the Titans out of field goal range. The Titans were forced to punt as opposed to attempting a field goal.. Henry rushed for an astounding 219 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries .
Tennessee’s smothering defense also bailed Willis out on several occasions. The inept Texans gained 64 total yards through their first 33 plays. The Texans were 2-of-14 on third down and managed 161 yards. Houston punted eight times. A meaningless fourth-quarter touchdown in the dying seconds made Houston’s performance appear slightly less pathetic.
Willis’ issues were the continuation of what the former Liberty standout put forth throughout the preseason. Willis remains an inexperienced and developing quarterback that doesn’t yet trust his decision-making process. Willis’ lower-half mechanics remain a work in progress and lead to stretches of inaccuracy. He flashed a willingness to go through his progressions, but Willis isn’t cutting it loose with the desired consistency.
The 5-2 Titans have rounded off five consecutive victories and sit comfortably atop the AFC South. They’re preparing for next Sunday’s primetime showdown with the fellow 5-2 Kansas City Chiefs. They’ll hope to have Tannehill back under center. Sunday’s showing indicated Willis is nowhere near supplanting Tannehill as Tennessee’s starter. He remains on the expected path that requires further development.
