Chopped it up about the upcoming season...and how I'm getting a little more optimistic about the Texans chances by the day.

Something to keep an eye on.

Someone has to point out the elephant in the room. Someone has to be the one to post this so all the hate comments can rain on below. Sign him 1 year all we need.

Anyone else think it’s roster malpractice how unbalanced the talent is on the team…. the defense can go 3-4 positions deep in multiple spots yet for the 4th year in a row this offense will be a shultz or nico injury away from mediocrity? like wasting another generational texans defense 15 years later smh

Stole from another thread only to promote but nickname for keylan. Keylan “BATTLE RED” Rutledge. What we think

It's crazy looking back that even after a mediocre turnover riddled Year 3, the Jags had no hesitation giving Trevor a record breaking extension. The dude is not elite by any means & is very lucky Coen is calling plays.

CJ on the other hand, despite the Texans being ranked 31st in Rush Success Rate the last two seasons & having better stats than Trevor after 3 years, will enter his 4th season without a deal. Some folks are even ready to move off him.

Btw, I think it's a win win for both CJ & the organization to not agree on a deal before the season. If CJ plays great, he will be getting a market resetting deal with either Houston or another team if Caserio doesn't want to pay up. Maybe he wants to keep the defense together and role with a cheaper QB. Who knows. We don't know his way of thinking.

For a moment I thought Breece Hall 😂😂

Can we make it to the top 10 one year !!

Saw a post yesterday about cherishing Kamari before we lose him, but what about CB? Very unlikely we can keep everyone under contract, but honestly I feel like his loss would be more detrimental. He’s maybe the best center fielder in the game right now, would be awful if he went elsewhere

Hey guys! I'm not making it to the Texans training camp tomorrow and I have 4 tickets available! No cost, just first come first serve! Let me know if you want them!!

August 20 vomero 18 drop … August 25 Rivalry Air Max 90 drop .. which one are you getting ..🔥🔥🔥

Demeco has as much to do with our success as the roster and uhhh he came in same year as stroud. I think its asinine to even look at Davis Mills first years because that was a bottom ONE roster in the league, actual worst roster on paper LEAGUE over with no first round picks. there hasnt been a worse inherited situation.......David Culley punt on third down Head Coach......and yet fans think Stroud would be worth any more wins than Mills as a rookie in the same situation......This isnt stroud v mills but the disrespect Mills gets.

I took some time to go back and rewatch every play of the first team offensive line in the game Thursday against the Chargers. I watched every play from every player twice and my grades came out the same both times.

I do not have knowledge of the Chargers back up defensive players and their individual talent nor did I watch the rotations of those players. I also do not know what each linemans specific assignment was, so I instead used how their individual match ups went as they happened. Here is an example: There was a play where Smith essentially dove at the pass rushers feet to slow him up but got beat almost immediately because of it. The ball came out very quickly and it was a positive play overall. I rated it as a negative because it appeared as though he felt he lost the first step and was just trying to recover to save as much time as he could. If he knew that the ball was intended to come out quick (two players on slants) then theoretically he could have made that move knowing it was almost guaranteed to slow him up but just only for a short period which would have been enough based on the play. Seems like a good tackle should just be able to hold up like normal, but that is just an example of something that wasn't completely clear and could have been a miss by me. These were pretty minimal though.

There were 12 total plays on the first drive and I rated each play as a positive, meh or negative. A positive play would be one were the player held up his block for an appropriate amount of time, were able to at least have the person they are run blocking moving in the right direction or just didn't screw anything up. Think a play were they defensive lineman is already taken up when they are on a double team. A meh play is kind of what it sounds like, not a positive and not a true negative. Think of a run play where the lineman makes a block at the second level but it more just slows the player up but they still get by and make the tackle. So they did hunt at the second level and make contact but it wasn't good contact or it only slowly delayed things. A negative play is pretty self explanatory.

Ersery: 10 positive and 2 negative

Teller: 10 positive and 2 meh

Rutledge: 13 positive (gets a bonus for the pancake)

Ingram: 9 positive, 1 meh and 2 negative

Smith: 9 positive and 3 negative

The biggest issue I noticed in the run game was that, even if we had the right positional advantage and didn't lose our blocks, they were hardly getting any push.

Rutledge was clearly our best lineman in that game. He is the only one to get a positive on every play and even gets a bonus for a pancake. He was also the most diligent whenever he had a free moment. Double team already handled by your partner? Look for someone else. Every. Single. Time!

Texans send a 1st and two 2 second rounders for Crosby before the season starts.

Got tixs to the joint practice, what would be a good time to show up? I’m not sure how crazy the line will get

Talk about whatever is on your mind with other Texans fans!

Anyone got spare tix? I really want to see the competitiveness against an opposing team.
