The rookie safety stopped Taylor after a gain of four yards, recording the first tackle of the Texans’ season Sunday during a 20-20 tie at NRG Stadium.
“It was a fun game, I enjoyed it,” Pitre said. “Felt like the defense was flying around and having a lot of fun out there with those guys. There are a lot of things I want to clean up going into Week 2, specifically my tackling. Second, my patience and my reads. I think those two are the two biggest things that I’m looking to improve on.
A former consensus All-American, Pitre led Baylor with 18 tackles for losses in his final college season. He finished with 76 tackles total, had three sacks, seven pass breakups, two interceptions, and three fumble recoveries.“First, starting off on my angles, understanding where I’m coming in and what type of tackle it’s going to be, whether it’s going to be a roll tackle or if it’s going to be one of those more form tackles,” Pitre said.
“What he’ll tell you is that he probably missed a few too many tackles, but made plays throughout,” Texans coach Lovie Smith said. As well as Pitre has performed, he has maintained a humble, low-key approach. That falls in line with his unassuming, friendly personality. Pitre doesn’t think he has everything figured out yet.The Texans like Pitre’s aggressive, fired-up style of play and his versatility.
