What might a contract look like for the star QB?

There are two contracts looming for the Houston Texans over the next calendar year. They cannot officially give C.J. Stroud or Will Anderson extensions until after the season. Yet, we can imagine what they might look like by looking at current contracts for current stars at those positions. We will begin with Stroud. It seems at quarterback that the Rubicon appears to be 50 million dollars per season in average annual value. If we look at just those players then we can guess a contract.

More importantly than guessing a...

Houston’s newest running back is unlike anything Houston has seen

Our second installment of this year’s Houston Texans Rookie Film Review covers the fourth round running back Woody Marks out of USC. Last week we featured WR Jaylin Noel’s Film Review.

ESPN Positioned Woody Marks as a “Situational back and backups” in their recent rookie running back role tiers article, which is the fifth tier of running backs listed.

Houston’s history of drafting running backs has been a story of limited investment returning limited earnings. Marks is the next installment of a growing list group of late-round RBs, most of...

We are about 100 days away from the start of the 2025 NFL season, but the good news is that organized training activities are beginning this week for the Houston Texans, therefore a lot of content is coming.

“Are you nervous about the offensive line?” - @chris_perry_1

The short answer to this question is yes, but I think there is a world in which this group could be better than the group last year, but that wouldn’t be saying very much.

There are a few reasons to be optimistic, and one of those reasons is the fact that they...

We hope you are enjoying the celebratory nature of day, while remembering the reason why it is on the calendar.

This weekend signifies some key things to America. On one hand, it is regarded as the unofficial start to summer. Many schools (grade school/college) ended (or are about to end) their spring/year terms and students return to the world for summer actions. Community pools and summer-associated activities look to this weekend as the kickoff for their season. Setting aside the commercialization of this weekend (is any consumer-based business not running a sale right now?), it can be a moment of...

Who should represent the Battle Red in LA for the 2028 Olympics?

The NFL just approved players for the 2028 LA Olympics in an honestly shocking unanimous vote by the owners. While the USA are unshockingly first in the world flag football rankings, the inclusion of the NFL’s best talent can’t hurt in the inaguagural season of the sport on the world stage.

The rules are fairly simple for the sport and highly encourage two-way players with short-area speed over the behemoths on the offensive and defensive line. Here are the official rules.

1 guess should be obvious

We’ve made it past the initial free agency surge and the 2025 NFL Draft. At this stage, the 2025 depth chart is coming into focus. It’s easy to say the roster is built for this season with a few minor adjustments still coming.

Teams don’t usually make big, blockbuster trades at this point in the year. However, June has been known to see new faces in new places due to free agency rules. And, once cut down day hits, a variety of players will find themselves unemployed before signing on with other teams.

Texans newest slot receiver possesses scary speed and frightening

How did Iowa State’s set the tone on the first play of the 2024 season? With a 55-yard heave to Jaylin Noel in double coverage. That set the tone for an almost 1,200-yard receiving season and eight touchdowns to go along with. The Houston Texans newest third round receiver boasts incredible play making ability and brings a spark to an otherwise weary wide receiver depth chart.

Today I will be breaking down the film on Houston Texans rookie Jaylin Noel. This will be the first in a weekly column on...

Will Anderson headlines a trio of young Texans stars amongst PFF’s top 25 NFL players under the age of 25.

The Texans have been on a swift upward trajectory within the hierarchy of the NFL after back-to-back season of not only making the playoffs, but winning at least postseason game, as well. Their quick turnaround has been spurred on by some serious hits in recent NFL drafts and there’s a specific trio that continues to garner highlights even during the offseason.

In a new set of rankings by Pro Football Focus, analyst Jonathon Macri ranked his top 25 players in...

Could a once great back be the missing piece of the offense?

One of my favorite books growing up was a book titled “The Missing Piece” by Shel Silverstein. In fact, I use it now as a teaching tool when I work high school retreats at my church. Obviously, the story has a lot of deep themes that we really shouldn’t get to here, but the title seemed to ring true for me as I think about the Texans offense.

If you asked most Texans fans what they wanted in one additional player they would probably say a center or...

We find out when the Texans play their games. Also, this is the last big event before the void of the NFL Calendar. Let’s discuss.

The Day After the Day After...when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of the 2025 NFL Schedule Release:

Getting the travel out of the way relatively early: Perhaps Cal made a deal with the NFL so that they could play most of the road slate early, giving him points for...

Houston Texans Q&A.

The Houston Texans are at the point of the offseason where the hype from free agency, along with the NFL Draft has now passed, and we are now only two months away from training camp.

Houston has done a great job of adding talent to the roster on both sides of the ball, along with making the necessary coaching adjustments to maximize their upcoming season. The Texans looked good last year, and it is safe to say that they got even better this offseason, but now it is about putting it all together.
