That's it. Right there. The perfect reaction to pretty much anything regarding the current state of the Houston Texans season following Deshaun Watson's torn ACL. Not one, but two deep breathes to really drive home the exasperation of playing out the remainder of the schedule without the player that took everyone's breathe away. I know that Tom Savage had just finished quarterbacking a professional football game in frigid Baltimore and had already spoken with reporters in the locker room, but I'm pretty sure every Texans' fan can easily relate to those audible sighs as of late. Almost wish I could have heard the response if the media did care enough to be in the room and the person who stepped to the microphone did actually give them nothing more than dispirited exhale, because if I were covering that team I think I'd totally sympathize with the appearance of apathy. I truly feel bad for Tom Savage. I know he tried elsewhere, but there's honestly nothing he can say to help deter from the fact that the most disheartening of injuries is what has him responding to questions that - more or less - all have the same answer. That answer is a 6'2 rookie out of Clemson, and his absence from the active roster has to be almost as depressing for the player that replaced him as it is for the media that tried to beat the traffic.
