Texans WR John Metchie partook in the Texans voluntary minicamp today 🙌
Looks like Metchie should be ready to go for the 2023 NFL season after his battle with Leukemia
The Saints, Jaguars and Steelers were all teams perceived to be better than the Texans and Houston beat all of them
While the Texans aren’t fully ready to contend, they are a good football team with a super bright future
The Houston Texans are 2-2
Next week they (hopefully) get back:
•Laremy Tunsil
•Tytus Howard
•Juice Scruggs
•Denzel Perryman
•Tavierre Thomas (maybe)
The Texans OL also allowed zero sacks for the second straight week in a row
Jonathan Joseph will be joining the Texans coaching staff as a part of the 2023 Bill Walsh diversity coaching fellowship
Joseph played a huge role from 2011-2019 for the Texans as they won multiple AFC south titles 👏
The two biggest winners from Yesterday:
•DeMeco Ryans
•Derek Stingley
Before the game it was a forgone conclusion that Stingley would not follow Amari Cooper
DeMeco steered away from his philosophy and let Stingley have him
•83.3% snaps
•1 REC
John Harris on Derek Stingley Jr after 2 days of training camp “He is the epitome of what a cornerback is supposed to look like”
The Texans have a star in sting
The NFL Draft has come to a close
The Houston Texans organization has been changed for years to come with a bright future ahead of them thanks to these two guys
The Texans now have a:
•Franchise QB
•Elite Pass rusher
•Playmakers
•Protection for their QB
WHAT A DRAFT
I think it’s fair to consider C.J Stroud not only an OROY but a legitimate MVP Candidate
Through 4 games
•1,212 Passing Yards
•62.3 Comp %
•6 TD’s
•302 yards per game (2nd all-time in NFL History)
All of this with missing 4 starters on the OL
𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘍𝘙𝘈𝘕𝘊7𝘐𝘚𝘌
Nick Caserio and DeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans have won the draft
They got the top player on their board in Will Anderson and a Franchise QB in C.J Stroud
Don’t see any team beating that regardless of what happens 👏
Newly hired Texans Chief of Staff Nick Kray is the guy who holds the boom box for the 49ers when the come out of the locker room 👀
Would love to see this energy before each game in Houston 🔥
Dalton Schultz is a MASSIVE signing for the Texans
•2,000 receiving yards in the past 3 Years
•Multiple 2 TD Games
•Vertical Threat/Solid blocker
•Fits the west coast scheme
Sheldon Rankins vs Cincinnati
•3 Sacks
•11 pressures
•93.8 PFF Grade
Rankins flashed power, quickness and run stopping ability all day long, he was relentless.
Houston Texans Player of the Game: Derek Stingley Jr.
•1 INT
•2 PD
•6 Tackles
Stingley was absolutely lockdown and made multiple huge stops before the sticks
The Houston Texans interview with Niners DC and former Texan Demeco Ryans went “extremely well”
Demeco Ryans is also the odds on favorite to become the Texans next head coach
Something that stands out to me from this year to last year:
2022:
•Head Coach & DC- Lovie Smith
•OC & QB Coach- Pep Hamilton
2023:
•Head Coach- Demeco Ryans
•DC- Matt Burke
•OC- Bobby Slowik
•QB Coach- Jerrod Johnson
Responsibilities are split up…
What a day for the Houston Texans
•Franchise QB
•Elite pass rusher
DeMeco Ryans and Nick Caserio came into the draft with a plan and executed it to perfection
Future is bright in Houston with more to come 🔜 ⭐️
While C.J. Stroud has stolen the spotlight (deservingly so)
Will Anderson Jr. has been dominant and ESPN has him as a top tier EDGE
•Tied for 3rd in pass rush win rate (27%)
•1st in run stop win rate (39%)
Look at how powerful WAJ is
Something that has gone under the radar is how good the Texans O-line is going to be this upcoming season:
LT- Laremy Tunsil (Top 3 LT)
LG- Kenyon Green
C- Juice Scruggs/Jarrett Patterson
RG- Shaq Mason (Top 10 RG)
RT- Tytus Howard (Top 10-15 RT)
Top 10 O-Line❔
Nick Caserio has spent the last two days creating more cap space
•Collins trade
•Mason restructure
•Trading away 1st round pick/contract hold
Only a matter of time before we see the Texans spend assets
Good Morning, Just a reminder that yea, C.J. Stroud and Tank Dell did this:
Off-Platform throw after a pocket reset, to be able to put that much power with pressure in his face
Tank snags that thing out of the air
Stroud is still my MVP.
Sloppy Win overall but:
•First 3 game win streak since 2019
•Now the 6th overall seed in the AFC
•After allowing go ahead scores in 3 games in a row the Texans defense got a stop and won the game
Houston will now face Jacksonville for 1st place in the AFC South next Sunday
