I want to get, of course, into Texans v. Steelers, and that's what we're going to talk about for the majority of this year's segment.

What would the Steelers be missing, though, if Arthur Smith took the Titans job?

I think it would be a big loss, man.

Stumbled upon a stat from Matt Williamson of Steelers.com.

He writes on Twitter, the Texans allowed a league low five yards per attempt on passes below 10 air yards and were one of two defenses with more interceptions eight than touchdowns allowed on such passes.

They allowed a 39.8% success rate on underneath throws, one of just three defenses in the last 10 seasons to hold opponents below 40%.

Is this a terrible matchup for the Steelers' offense?

We're going tit for tat and stat for stat here, Chris, because yesterday I uncovered that the Texans are 13th worst in the NFL in giving up reception yards to running backs, which is an area where the Steelers obviously have thrived with Kenneth Gamewell.

In particular, Chris Carter joining us here on the Fan Morning Show.

If you were D'Amico Ryans, would you have Derek Stingley follow DK Metcalf?

Is that something that they typically do, or are they a left-right kind of unit?

And then, I'll do a two-parter here, does JPJ chase around their number one wide receiver, Nico Collins?

I do feel pretty confident the Steelers will shut down the run.

They've given him 73 yards on the ground on average the last four games, apart from the one carry to Derrick Henry.

They were really good against him.

And part of that is just staying off the field.

The offense monopolizing the football, kind of a big deal.

Yeah, Woody Marks averages 3.6 yards per carry.
