Regardless of where you come down on the objective utility of Pro Football Focus' work, I trust you'll find the following two tweets worthy of interest as a Texans fan.
Ryan Mallett's average time per pass attempt was 2.06 seconds vs CLE. Off the charts fast, lowest in the league this week.

More Mallett: When ball was out in under 2.5 secs passer rating was 123.1, when it was >2.5 seconds: 31.3 passer rating.

A QB who gets rid of the ball that quickly is bound to make life much easier for his offensive line and much more difficult for the opposing pass rush. If Ryan Mallett can maintain that trait while continuing to make good decisions with the ball, Houston's offense becomes much more dangerous with him under center. Let's see if he can keep it going against the Bengals this week.
