Re-Sign or Walk: Houston Texans Defensive Tackle Foley Fatukasi

Re-Sign or Walk: Houston Texans Defensive Tackle Foley Fatukasi

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...

Value of Things: Texans Round out offensive staff

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.

Poll: Are you happy with Houston hiring Nick Caley?

Poll: Are you happy with Houston hiring Nick Caley?

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...

Value of Things: A Deeper look at the new OC

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...

Breaking News: Houston Texans Hire Nick Caley as New Offensive Coordinator

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...
