Some former Texans have moved on to bigger and better things

Three players on the Kansas City Chiefs and one Philadelphia Eagle have sported the Battle Red and Deep Steel Blue in their past. All four were former draft picks of the Texans and span the entire gamut of the Houston Texans’ experience.

Today we’ll rewind the clock on each of the four players and how they got to the Super Bowl. It’s a nice little rooting interest for you during the Big Game on Sunday too.

Should the Houston Texans re-sign DT Foley Fatukasi?

The Houston Texans had major questions entering the 2024 season at the defensive tackle position and it is safe to say that the group exceeded expectations.

Texans General Manager Nick Caserio opted to go with a few cheaper options at the position, rather than spending big on one player. Caserio traded Maliek Collins to the San Francisco 49ers and let Sheldon Rankins walk in free agency, which led to several questions about what the plan would be moving forward to the 2025 season.

Caserio signed Foley Fatukasi, who was previously with the...

Texans add two assistants...sort of

Everyone that is a regular reader of the value of things knows I am a lover of all things numbers. Isolated numbers can certainly fool us, but the more numbers we offer the clearer the picture gets. I simply went to pro-football reference and went across the board and looked at the Texans’ ranking in those categories. It isn’t a pretty sight, but we have to confront our demons in order to exorcise them.

Learn all about who most Houston Texans fans will root for during Super Bowl LIX.

HOUSTON - By now, the participants for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans are set. In a rematch of Super Bowl LVI, The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will take the field, with a lot of high drama, intensity, and...fan apathy?

“I mean, we’ve seen this movie before. Eagles/Chiefs...Kelce vs. Kelce, Taylor Swift, Reid’s two teams...blah, blah, blah.” Noted one unnamed fan. “Might be a close game, might be fun for all I know, but instead, it will just be more extended Mahomes/Reid...

Kelly, Caley, potato, po TAH toe, no?

As announced earlier this week, your Houston Texans brought former Los Angeles Rams tight ends coach and passing game coordinator Nick Caley into the fold as the new offensive coordinator.

Last week’s poll had a whopping 64% of respondents stumping for former Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly. Somehow, many seem to have forgotten the controversy and failure that marred much of Kelly’s last NFL stint, prior to him returning to the college ranks.

As often happens, Kelly had some amazing success, then the rest of the NFL caught...

It’s time to roll the dice on Nick Caley

Chip Kelly going to the Las Vegas Raiders took the collective wind out of a lot of Houston Texans fans. However, there is a few things to understand about that move before we criticize the Texans for their selection. Number one, while Kelly has had a ton of success at the college level. he has had mixed results at the NFL level. Many of us were willing to overlook that, but maybe Nick Caserio and DeMeco Ryans were not.

More importantly, Kelly is now the highest paid offensive coordinator in the...

This feels like another Bobby

The Houston Texans offensive coordinator search has concluded with the Texans hiring of Los Angeles Rams’ TE coach and passing game coordinator Nick Caley, per Ian Rapoport. This will be Caley’s first time as an offensive coordinator.

This is an interesting hire as Caley was not the play caller in Los Angeles; that duty was maintained by head coach Sean McVay and occasionally offensive coordinator Mike LeFleur.

Caley cut his teeth coaching at the collegiate level, moving between schools before joining New England as an offensive assistant in 2015. He remained with the Patriots until...

Houston goes all-in on fixing the offensive line while finding depth across the defense too.

The Senior Bowl is in the books, and the opening bell to the NFL Draft season has officially rung. Tis the season.

Coaches, analysts, and scouts alike left Mobile, Alabama with new thoughts on the top prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. The dust has yet to settle on whose stock has climbed the most or who has earned themselves a lot more money, but it’s clear that this draft class has more to offer than initially thought.

The Texans’ front office should feel more...
