Tapped In: Weekly Houston Texans Q&A

Weekly Houston Texans Q&A.

The Houston Texans have been extremely busy this offseason with free agency, along with the draft coming up in a little over a month.

There have been a few very good players added to the roster, and maybe a few questionable decisions. We will go through it all in this week’s Q&A.

• “Is the Stingley extension too much money?” - @adilk____

The Stingley contract extension was the right move for the Houston Texans, even with the fact that they had to reset the cornerback market. Stingley has blossomed into one of, if not the best cornerback in football, and he deserved to be paid that way.

• “How confident are we with Fisher at right tackle and Tytus at left tackle?” - @jadnizam

I think it is fair to have some concerns with that potential lineup. I would have a good amount of confidence in Tytus to perform at a relatively high level, while it is still unknown if Fisher is a long-term answer. Fisher was taken in the second-round of the 2024 Draft, and should be given some time to grow into the position with a full offseason under his belt.

As far as the offensive line as a whole, I am far less concerned with their tackle situation, as I am with their interior situation.

• “Do you think the Texans are done signing in free agency?” - @er1k.vxz

The Texans could still add depth to the team throughout free agency if there is a fit, but most of the bigger name players are gone, and they are moving their focus towards the draft, where they will address most of the remaining holes on the roster.

• “You think we go guard or wide receiver with their first pick?” - @blickycouture

Honestly, they can’t go wrong with either. I think it depends how the draft plays out, and who is on the board at that time. As of right now, it would not surprise me if they were to pull the trigger on Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka or Matthew Golden out of Texas, if either are available.

• “What are your thoughts about our new offensive coordinator and will he fix C.J. Stroud, along with the rest of the offense?” - @tim.helb

The Texans hired arguably the best offensive coordinator option available in Nick Caley. Caley has a background with General Manager Nick Caserio in New England, and spent his last two seasons in Los Angeles with one of the best offensive minds in football in Sean McVay.

I believe that Caley has a clear plan in place, which is why the Texans have had a lot of turnover on the offensive side of the ball.

As far as “fixing” C.J. Stroud goes, I do not think he is broken. Stroud unfortunately suffered from horrendous play-calling, a well below average offensive line, along with normal sophomore year struggles.

Stroud was one of the most sacked quarterbacks in football, and it seemed like he...
