How have the Houston a Texans looked as full-padded practice becomes a reality?
Houston Texans Training Camp has concluded days four and five, with today being the first day we got to witness the new 2024 roster in a full-padded practice. Both days held highlights for rookies like cornerback Kamari Lassiter and defensive back Caleb Bullock, for new faces like running back Cam Akers, and for veterans like wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
There were several more missing faces on Tuesday than...

A look into the Texans safety situation.
The Houston Texans have a young player who could have the chance to start in 2024 and his name is Calen Bullock.
Bullock was drafted by the Texans in the third-round of the 2024 NFL Draft and there could be a scenario in which he works his way into a starting job. With defensive back Jalen Pitre playing a lot of nickel in training camp, there is now an open spot next to veteran Jimmie Ward.
Pitre played a lot of nickel in college at Baylor, which led to the talented defensive back...

Sourcing the film to review during training camp on Houston Texans rookies
As the Texans dive headlong into training camp, I thought it would be good to take notice of the games where our rookies faced one another. Part of Nick Caserio’s regime has been selecting players from the nation’s most premier schools. Players with winning pedigrees who have played on the biggest stages. Nothing gets a player more ready for the NFL than elite competition in college. So when Houston selects the majority of its draft classes from marquee schools, it’s a great opportunity to watch multiple players battle...

The purest form of competition we may see in training camp this season.
One of the first things we do in sports commentary is acknowledge reality. We can act like draft status, contracts, and past performance don’t matter. We can wring our hands and decry this as some kind of new reality that makes modern players soft. In our childhood, the men were men and the sheep were nervous. Of course, all of that is hogwash as the game remains more the same than what we might think.
Most of the positions have been predetermined by one of those factors....

All-Pro back continues his winning ways.
Despite character questions surrounding Joe Mixon’s NCAA and NFL careers, his on-field production has never been in doubt. The former Cincinnati Bengals tailback has racked up 6,412 rushing yards on 1571 attempts, scoring 49 touchdowns along the way in his 7 seasons.
Based on his performance in Houston Texans training camp so far, that level of productivity will continue in 2024 and beyond.
In the offensive mix with sophomore phenom C.J. Stroud throwing passes to Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell, Mixon should feast on opposing defenses who aren’t committed to stacking the...

Cam Akers joins the stable of running backs
Throughout the offseason we here at BRB and pundits at other Texans’ sites have expressed concerns about the depth at the running back position. Early reports are that Dameon Pierce looks much better in camp. However, Nick Caserio and company aren’t stopping there. On Sunday, the team brought in veteran running back Cam Akers for a visit and reports are that he will leave with a deal in hand.
Akers has bounced around the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings. The 25 year old back was drafted in 2020...

Is there is a favorite Green in the clubhouse?
This has come up before, but we get new readers every day. My name stems from the fact that I am a retired volleyball coach. Obviously, not everything is portable to football, but there are some commonalities between virtually all team sports. The main one is the relationship between coaches and position battles.
The purest form of coaching comes in the first year of a program. As a coach in year one I am not invested in anyone, so the competition comes it its purest form. As time goes on we...
