From the episode

part of the theory of the case for Montgomery was, well, they're going to be in all these, you know, positive game scripts because they're going to be ahead... But if you have bad linebackers and safeties, teams can pick on you.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Texans defense weakness undermines Montgomery's positive game script thesis.

Matt Harmon notes that the Texans defense weakness undermines the original fantasy thesis for David Montgomery. The theory was that Montgomery would benefit from positive game scripts and nursing leads due to strong defense, but Texans defensive vulnerabilities at linebacker and safety mean they won't be one of the best defenses, limiting Montgomery's lead-nursing opportunities.
