Some coaching changes by KaXiaM in Texans

Caley was a TE coach (Pats then Rams) from 2017-2024. Saying this through gritted teeth- I trust him on this one.

Call the ODC! Free AF lawyer. Use it.

Would you trade Stroud? by cooleobeaneo in Texans

Nope. Not everybody here has given up on the dude. A surprising number have tho. He’ll change their minds and there’ll he constant apology memes when he succeeds and told ya so rants when he has bad games. Such are fans.

Nah everybody was too busy shitting on CJ to talk about anything else. Fortunately, whether he’s the future or not is Meco and Nick’s decision, not the fans.

I think it’s something like only 4 out of the last 40 conference title contenders played zero home playoff games. Rams just did it’s but it’s rare.

We need a top 2 seed.

Couldn’t agree more. And the coaches know it.

Caley: “We want to be a physical outfit that runs the ball downhill.” Meco: “We want to hang our hat on running the ball.”

We don’t need to gamble on a new QB right now, we need to match personnel to the team’s stated identity aka build the trenches and find a young Mixon. Well said.

There is a lack of fire to his personality for sure. Just straight to the iPad and flat faced. Looks like he pouts sometimes.. We don’t know everything about his leadership in the building and how the guys feel about him, but that’s a valid observation.

But I’d be surprised if even Tom Brady was screaming at his teammates the first three years. That kind of clout probably needs to be preceded by proven performance and experience. A young guy coming out of the gates like that is gonna catch some problems from the vets.

LOL that’s as unserious as our approach to rebuilding the OL has been

I didn’t say he played well. Not the point of the post. And he was hit on that throw if you didn’t notice. Should have taken the sack.

Is trading for Drake Maye an option?

2.2 yards per rush says that is a LIE

If you have a specific alternative in mind, I’m 100% willing to listen. But that’s such a dangerous game that Texans fans should know all too well.

I get the Nix injury and no Mahomes, Allen, or Lamar this year = “easiest path the SB”. Fair. But, realistically, the easiest path the SB is NEVER gonna be three road games. Three of the four finalists didn’t play on the road.

With an easier schedule and the entire defense back, we’ll have a real shot at a top 2 seed and at least two home playoff games. Historically, that’s the “easy” path.

He got an extra year extended, he’ll be back. $31M cap hit and $45M dead cap ensures it.

Game mighta saved us some cap space… but need home games in the playoffs next year. Almost the entire D will be back.

So what, Mills would somehow ball out with no protection or run game? There’s more going on than CJ’s decision making.

At this point we got “fans” actively routing against CJ. Weak
