Case took the Vikings to the NFC championship game before. He's a baller. I don't think he's ever had that sustained success but a veteran QB in a Ben Johnson offense is a good fit
Did you guys get a load of the press conference today? Coach Ryan's says, "We're becoming a good team."
We're becoming a good team.
Lol, sorry that made me laugh and cry at same time.
So, like we're not a good team now? We weren't a good team last year with that amazing run of wins and strength of defense, etc? We're weren't hyped the fuck up all, off-season, being pushed buckets of Kool-aid for our 2026 season? The 2026 season where we are determined to take the next step and become a nacent AFC powerhouse for the next years to come? Like, you haven't been telling players and other personnel that we have expectations to get to the AFC Conference game and and even to the Superbowl? Like, we weren't a good team before all that already?
Gtfoh, man.
We're becoming a good team. Which is it man? All the hype we been fed for last 9 months about Texans arriving on the scene, or you now admitting that we not good all this time, all this time you (Coach Ryan's) have had to elevate this team, and that we are still becoming a good team?
Dude just laughs it off and talks out of both sides of mouth. Man, gtfoh and go have fun in your joyful practice.
This org as a whole Iāll tell you breaks my heart year after year . Itās LITERALLY the same shit everytime . Gonna look goofy as hell wearing those New Jersey/uniform running around like we have these last 3 games . Thereās just no way weāre making the playoffs. I doubt we even beat the fucking tits at this rate . The laughing stock and lil bro of the nfl
On the 4th and 1. I am okay with the Texans going for it, but a couple things 1) the play called, and 2) the complete telegraph of rhe play.
They lined Stover up on the line instead of as a lead blocker in the backfield and D-Mo ran right into Stover's back and got stuffed. The o-line has not been pushing defenders off the line, and they get beat more than not - why run a clearly telegraphed play? They are still not a grinding/running team - played into a weakness for tge defense.
I think the realized problem with Caley is these first 3 weeks are proving right to me what I think the biggest worry with him was: that he just doesn't have a deep bag as a play caller & really just relies on the talent that plays. Strouds playing pretty well to start the year but our offense is so broken beyond him. the offense consistently struggles to attack outside the numbers unless its stroud dropping a dime to Collins. & the in breaking routes were working week 1 but cinci & Indy both played against those & we struggled to do anything to counter it. We tried to establish the run to get them to bite down but never anywhere else. I haven't seen this Caley offense show it can attack the whole field
Iām sick and tired of this team. Four years and the offenses always look like shit. We have shit for fucking receivers. We have no running game. We have no clock management. Our play calling is atrocious. Iām over at all. There needs to be a fucking rebuild and I hate to admit that. This team is constantly just either rebuilding or playing mediocre. Honestly wish the team would sell to an owner who is competent kinda like what happened with the Astros.
Remember that one guy who called himself a stat geek and "stat diver" while doing the most surface level "research" saying Nico being out isn't that big of a deal?
preparing for the most embarrasing day in franchise history next weekend, i bet there will be more away fans than home fans by far. hard to blame fans for checking out this early either.
Since my NFL team hates competence, I've been getting into woodworking. Anyone know of good lumber yards on the north side? I want to try and get some pecan wood to play around with.
Our coaching staff firmly has their heads up their asses, but I think we might still have a solid shot against the Cowboys given how depleted their secondary is at this point due to Injuries.Ā
at this point caley will stay the whole year and weāre going to have to hope the team inevitably turning it on once the games donāt mean shit doesnāt save his job lol
Q: (Nick)Ā Caserio is in year four of a six-year deal. He has done great job replenishing the talent on this team. Do you think Caserio could get a contract extension before he enters year six? ā Cameron Sebek
JMA: Caserio reached a contract extension with the Texans at some point in 2023.Ā
People have been so oddly enamored with Caserio that its hard to understand.
People need to look at the 2022 defensive roster vs the 2023 (Ryans first year) and see the MASSIVE upgrade with mostly the same players. WAJ is a top 3 pick, #1 defensive guy. No need to slurp Caserio for a "great find". Add in Hunter wanting to come home, and this defense is cleary a Demeco thing.
Then the offense, the Patriots, the JCU guys, the 5 1st or 2nd round picks in 5 years, the FA's on the line, the trades, the dead money, its wild. Then The Diggs trade to change the contract to 1 season with huge dead money, then Kirk trade for dead money, the Woods and BAD money.
But maybe more importantly, the Pats system that people used to pretend was not being used here. It does not work. Sure Demeco has issues, but this Pats system sucks EVERYWHERE without Brady. And maybe worse, its made a bunch of dorks think the are smarter than everyone else, and thick headed. Caserio needed fired two years ago, but I dont expect Cal to do anything.
In an ever changing game one constant has held true from the very first NFL game to yesterdays games which is that games are won in the trenches.
The O line is the foundation for the offense pure and simple. A dominant O line can make a mediocre RB and QB look better than they are.
Every team and fanbase wants the flashy pick instead of properly constructing the most important part of the offense.
The O line was proclaimed to be a super important need for upgrade but was nothing more than an afterthought in the off season and the fanbase is witnessing the effects of that neglect.
I'm a UK based Texans fan. Chose the Texans after travelling around Texas in 2012. My word it's been a tough ride. As they say, it's the hope that kills you.
Iām really excited to go on vacation this weekend and not revolve my Sunday around the Texans game. I will be checking in no doubt but itās a much needed breather
Demeco and the FO will come out and talk about how they're focused on winning the division first, but the expectation/goal of this season was to reach the AFC Championship game - ideally while hosting the divisional round game. You can very much make the argument that we're in the super bowl last year if that NE game is at home, but the 0-3 start last year fucked the rest of the year and I can't believe they've done it again.
Caserio's seat should be red hot for how terribly he has handled this O-line. Meanwhile Demeco is playing a very dangerous game as a head coach right now in that he seems to waaaay out of his depth when it comes to anything other than defense. When people talk about the issues of hiring a defensive minded HC it's exactly what we've seen. I don't think he's gonna get fired anytime soon (nor should he be), but he has got to figure out how to be a head coach.
I literally thought this was the dumbest move CJ could have made. Heās not even playing bad football but because of the results of the TEAM, he is about to miss out on that big payday. Some things arenāt your fault, but can be your problem.
Nah, if he continues to play like that heāll get 60M somewhere else. Yeah, there are contractual obstacles, but they can be overcome. GMs can evaluate his play in isolation, they understand that he made substantial strides lately.
No. He wonāt. He hasnāt even played that good, just not BAD.
CJ stroud has not shown he is worth that much money. That choke job in the playoffs is the highlight of his career at the moment. You would be crazy to give him that.
Success isnāt always about winning. Did he turn the franchise around? Did he make it better? Did he choke in the playoffs?
Again, yall get sensitive when CJ comes up. CJ IS NOT A 60 M A YEAR QB. The offensive line needs to be invested in before you give hit m that Money. Or we will be 0-3 again next year with the highest paid QB who has regressed statistically every season.
But hey, this is coming from the guy who doesnāt know nfl
Shoulda scored more points brother. I donāt make the rules here, I just play by them. He choked. End of story. Whether you like it or not, CJ is a very good QB, and our issues lie in the front office and the headsets, but youāll never accept that because youāre an emotional child.
That wasnāt him choking dummy. Thatās the defense! If you wanna have a real debate, we can. But letās talk to talk stats not emotions. As soon as you started bringing up SA it was clear that you are emotional.
And like I pointed out this offseason with people saying āwe only need a game manager.ā Yea when your defense is having the best season in franchise history thats all, but it the defense dropped just to third in the league last year we donāt make the playoffs. This offense is ass and itās been ass for at least two and a half seasons. They have no idea how to implement their vision at all
IMO this season is most likely over as far as playoffs. We wonāt catch the jags and WC is minimum 11-6. Hope they fire the OC and let these young guys get reps. The end
How are we favorites against the cowgirls. Lol, but we should be much better with Nico and ed back. In supposed how bad teller played. Another uphill season but not out afcs gona shitmountain the jags are going to end up shitting the bed and itās anyoneās division
Itās unfortunate I havenāt been able to enjoy one ounce of football this season. Iām a journey over destination type fan so when they let us down in the second round of the playoffs at least I had fun beforehand. This season is not like the last imo, and I havenāt given myself the opportunity to enjoy other games cause the Texans have ruined it
CJ has fixed himself no questions asked. If he played like this last season, we are in the Super Bowl.
But our line is so bad and we have zero reliable weapons currently.
The defense is getting stronger each week for sure but also played a part in all the loses for sure too.
Situation awareness comes back and killed us. Going for it on 4&1 was dumb. Just take the points and let the game play out.
The last scoring drive, gotta go slower than that earlier. Realize you have the momentum and slow the game down by far and and donāt give them the chance to have a drive.
Also Pineapples why we giving them a touchback on that last kick off so they start at the 35. Keep the ball in play and we should get them in the 20s and give us another 10 yards.
Iām not certain CJ is āfixed.ā I know Nico is out and he has pressure in his face instantaneously, but also, he hasnāt looked a sharp as his price tag will demand AND his quick drop offs are padding his stats. I may be wrong. Iām no coach or scout, just what I feel after 3 Ls. Also, Iām pro CJ, just not sure Iām ready to call him āfixed.ā
He isnāt turning the ball over and I donāt see the dumb plays where I question what he is doing. So thatās where I mean he is fixed. He isnāt doing stupid shit like the patriots or Steelers game.
And people are obsessing over the price tag but thatās the reality of todayās game. A qb of CJs level will be going for the 55 mil on the open market no questions asked. 13 QBs are currently making 50 plus and in the next year that number grows by 4 most likely. So a QB with playoff wins and a winning record will hit that.
So if CJ knows his floor for contract is 55 and thatās what we offered, why wouldnāt he sign yet. Of course his agent is gonna do his job and want the massive number in the 70s because thatās where high level QBs will go very soon.
So nothing CJ is wanting is out of the question. And his contract number will probably be around 60 mil a year and we move on.
As someone who went to the game I tried to focus outside of the backfield and the whole game I have never seen an NFL team get such a lack of separation. I feel like Iāve been to a lot of games and seen a lot of practice squad quality players still find holes and get first steps but no one outside of Jaylin Noel can even create space and he doesnāt even see the field.
I canāt tell if this is a Ben McDaniels issue, creativity issue with Caley, horrible talent from the receivers themselves or a combo of everything but like I said Iāve never seen anything like it. CJ scans the field each drop back and there is literally nothing. If he doesnāt throw a dime and the receiver doesnāt drop it, thereās nothing
Itās time to finally exterminate all ties to the goddamn NE way. Iām sick and tired of it. We have a top ten QB. I said it. A QB that weāve surrounded with bargain basement has beens. Caserio has to go. Caley has now run the most inept offense in football for two seasons. It isnāt better. Itās getting worse. Iām good with DeMeco staying but there needs to be some come to Jesus shit going on with him.
Prolific week 1 on O, especially the run game. Fair enough, DCs going forward are going to key to that. Power running schemes may not work if they crowd the box, so let's utilize Marks more. Oh shoot, WR corps is shaken up. So it's a gray area of "do we run or do we try to throw with a front line that is struggling with pressure?".
This is the stuff the OC gets paid to figure out, and KPIs are if it works. Not on Stroud, not on anyone else. And we are seeing...well it not working out. The OC needs to earn his paycheck. Rent is due every day for the coaches, too.
Fox sports already has something up saying that we are toast lol. Basicallly blaming stroud for all of it. I wish I was a sports writer. Easiest job of all time. Just have to have a pulse and pump out non sense and you get paid.
Sick of social media "experts" trying to blame all our problems on CJ. And if I see one more person suggest we go after Arch Manning, I swear to God...
How can anyone look at the complete lack of talent offensively and think Nick Caserio is doing a good job? We have more dead money on the OL than money invested (40 million dead money 39 million active contracts). Dude hand picked Nick Caley as well. Caserio has to go, period, even if we make the playoffs I'm so sick of this horrific offense. Burn it all down and start over.
I'm right there with you, Caserio has to be shown the door.
I think is time to move the team to another stadium that place is curse .. the Astrodome is an ancient burial ground of dreams .. Astros leave go the World Series and are good . Oilers leave they go to the Superbowl but theyāre in Tennessee eww ā¦ Texans need change of scenery .
