Well done brother- broke it down perfectly- you are the only guy on RUclips who sees it just how many Texans fans see it and we’ve watched and analyzed every snap of every game, and are very aware of each player that was missing every game-Go Texans baby!!
Need Nico AND Tank at 100%. Metchie is coming on. We’re ok without Diggs. Need protection for CJ. He is not at 100% until the O Line gels. They’ve done well on running but not pass protection. Mixon and Collins are the KEYS to our offensive success. On defense, linebacking is solid with Al-Shaair, To’o To’o and Devin White are solid. Love to get Christian Harris back. We run a 4-2-5 a lot if the time, and Jalen Pitre has been very good as the nickel. We need Stingley, Lassiter, Bullock and Stingley healthy. Jimmie Ward as been meh. Our Secondary depth is not there. But the key to the defense is having Anderson, Edwards, Hunter, Fatukasi, Barnett and Autry healthy and NOT SERVING SUSPENSIONS. We haven’t had all these guys suited up at the same time this year. We should be able to really pressure the opposing quarterbacks. All in all, we have the tools. And let’s not forget how valuable Fairbairn is.
Great breakdown Mitch. Remember it wasn’t an ACL for Tank it was a fibula fracture and then he got shot in the leg during the offseason. Thanks for diving into the depth of the team since that what casuals don’t realize about us. I would also mention that I think Dameon Pierce coming back could help us in the playoffs if something happens with Mixon. I just fear our reshuffled IOL will crap out against the good defenses and Bobby will cave in to the run game even if it’s clearly not working. Need to see more moving pockets from Bobby and half back screens like we did against the cowboys. Great job brother.
They don’t even really have to be healthy it in my opinion it all rides on their o line look at games where their o line plays well and when they don’t when cj has time to make plays he almost always does he never just throws it away and will sit there for as long as needed as long as he has the time for it I think if the Texans can fix their line issues by the playoffs they are going to be a real issue for whoever they play also because they have one of the best defenses in the entire league
Texans Fan Here Living in Houston, Couldn’t Have Said it better myself bud, we lost to the best team in football by 3 without Nico, that was all I needed to see to know we can make a serious run
This is the most physical defense in the NFL, nobody hits like the Texans. The defense can keep the Texans in any game, but it is on the offense to go out and win them. Storylines to watch…..does the o-line get better week to week…..can a reliable RB2 emerge to help keep Mixon fresh for the post season…..Can Metchie keep it up and become an even more valuable WR3…..what does Demeco do to keep teams from isolating Pitre in coverage…..if these storylines get resolved the Texans will be more than a 1 and done playoff team this year.
Never ssy never. Remember the year the Giants won the Super Bowl in like 2007 they were a wild card team and played all their playoff games on the road including in the frozen tundra of Green Bay. Its about getting hot at the right time and i brlieve the Texans could do it.
Fr bro i think theyre just still adjusting to a whole new system with Mixon in, and Diggs earlier. Notice they dont use TE’s anymore compared to last year. Also the teams adjusted to Texans system so they need time to revamp everything. People overreacting. CJ Stroud is still the clutch God in big games. Just wait before playoffs starts then judge them. Now is revamp period
Tank broke a bone in his lower leg last season and then was shot in his leg right before OTA this offseason. I don’t think anything is wrong with him physically. That much trauma has to affect you psychologically however. Also the interior offensive line specifically is underperforming
Stroud hasn’t regressed his pass blocking did and they had more injuries to the wr room this year. Stroud is still top 10 in every category and still 7-4 and undeatfed in the division also Bobby s play calling on offense has been way worse this year
I’m not counting out the chances of us making the SB. So far this Demeco D-line is insane. Which is why our secondary is getting lots of interceptions. Just like you I hate to think that without Nico and mixon it makes bobby slowik look like a lil league play caller. Honestly the thing I feel will make or break CJ is if he can stay focused under pressure. Some of these games he looked off 👀
as a Texans die hard realist, we have everything but the interior oline and unfortunately our Qb and RB can adjust and make do with poor pieces but it wont be easy and that oline wont get fixed until offseason when it is stripped down
The Texans left guard Kenyon Green played miserably and got benched but eventually got injured later. Patterson was moved to center and the Scruggs was moved to left guard. The OL played a little better but Tunsil is still not playing like he should.
For me, it's the Buccaneers. They've had a horrible recent stretch but barely lost. This is all because Williams and Godwin went down to start this spiral. If they can get their team together and have a good stretch to finish the season then they can do it.
CJ and Joe and now the def are dawgs and will put it on their backs. We ramped up late last year, we will this year too. I’m not sold on Tank yet, at least as a WR2, but watch out for Metchie.
I really want to believe this but god that offense just cannot move the ball sometimes. It just seems like on certain possessions it’s such a grind for them to get a 1st down.
Stroud would be a lot better completion percentage if the offensive line would protect him more and the receivers can be open more often. Also many key players have missed time due to injury. If none of them would have been injured and all the key starters and a few good backups would be on the roster ready to play, this team could easily be undefeated or maybe a close loss against the Vikings. Ryans is a good young coach and I think he will get better year after year. I do not think the Texans will make the super bowl. Unless the Chiefs, Bills and Steelers lose a few more games and lose a few key players.
Also been playing some dam good teams with great defense. Even the Bears and Jets have great defense. Everyone said the first-10 games are the hardest of our schedule. Only KC and Ravens with winning records from now on. I believe we can finish 11-6.
Dude CJ throws like 250 a game he didn't drop off its bobby slowick play calling in the second half tht makes our offense stall CJ stroud didn't fall off
We still need a better oc coordinator who knows how to adjust in the second half still hasn't proved he can if not for Mixon we won't win we need a real call player how knows how to score points.
Problem with the Texans is more slowick lack of adjustments and bad play calling more then anythi. If slwoick gets that better then lights out if not One and done
Stroud is still good and Nico Collins and Tank Dell, plus Dalton Schultz make up a decent pass catching trio. I think Mixon still has some juice too. But the run game has stagnated against good defenses and pass pro has been an issue against essentially all defenses and CJ Stroud is continually playing the game in hard mode due to the pass pro where teams can bring four get pressure allowing them to still drop 7 into coverage. The Texans defense is very good. Significantly better than the offense. And yes its conceivable that they beat a Chiefs, Bills, Ravens team like 16-13 in a tough fought low scoring game in the playoffs. So them as a darkhorse is not a terrible forecast. Its also possible if they play the Ravens they could win a high scoring game as the Ravens defense has a lot of coverage busts and while okay down to down, gives up a lot of big plays. But especially against the Chiefs, whose defense is very good, its tough to see them doing much on offense.
Lol tell me you haven’t watched the Texans without telling me..or even done a cursory glance at stats. Mixon has gone for 100+ and a least 1 TD (and multiple in a few) 5 out of the last 6 games aka since he’s been back, and was doing it before he got hurt…the rb2 was also hurt during that time (and he kinda sucks now tbf) And just as someone who consumes football..”stroud is still (sic) good”….bro he’s a sophomore; “still” was a weird word choice. I think you a fellow Houstonian and a doomer, or just absolutely have terrible takes, or both.
Stop, no they’re not. Texans are my team but i have to be honest, lets not forget CJ still struggling, the team blew a lead on Detroit due to the offense and lost to the crappy Jets.
You have to be blind to not see that, are Houston team has really only had one difficult game the rest have been close and that’s mostly because are teams players are all injured or out completely but yet still try to find ways to win
Texans are NOT ready for PRIME TIME.. beating the chowboys was no great feat.. if they had gone out and gotten a good guard and a receiver to replace injured Diggs, then yes, they would be a dark horse sleeper..
There are a bunch of bottom dwelling NFL YT channels that put out a video of practically every team saying this is the team everyone fears. Which is just utterly ridiculous and clearly done for only clicks and to win favor of the audience of practically every team in the NFL. Thankfully, your channel does not appear to adhere to these ridiculous practices, and you've been high on the Texans in particular this season.
No way. With that offense, they have wild card exit written all over them. Their o-line is terrible and Stroud is rapidly regressing. He is becoming a non factor. ESPN has him ranked at 22nd in the league. They will be the weakest AFC team in the playoffs
Gronk spike the like
Let me know your thoughts

Texans Fan here…
Thank you for the respect. They seem to forget about our team nearly beating Detroit and beating the Bills.
The Texans dominated the 1st half of that game.
Yup, but still got the L, like they said close but no cigar. 😂 Go Lions !!!
We lost due to a missed pass interference call that lost us a FG towards the end of the game
This was a great take... not many people other than us Texans fans know this team in depth very well....
8:47 Tank Dell didn’t tear his ACL. He broke his fibula in week 10 or something and then got shot in the calf during the off season.
Great breakdown Mitch. Remember it wasn’t an ACL for Tank it was a fibula fracture and then he got shot in the leg during the offseason.

@EyeNeedAllDat It's more then Just the oline mostly it's slwoick and bad play calls and lack of adjustments
Texans Fan Here Living in Houston, Couldn’t Have Said it better myself bud, we lost to the best team in football by 3 without Nico, that was all I needed to see to know we can make a serious run
what happened in the Green Bay game? Stroud didn't throw for 100 yds

You forgot to mention Tim Settle when you were talking about the DL. He has totally stepped up!

Thanks for showing love to the Texans, most people write the Texans off and dk what they are truly capable of.
H town vs the Lions would be a awesome SB 😊
Great show......Mixon and Stingly Jr. and Hunter exude DOG mentality to the Whole squad.
Can't forget about Pitre in that convo.
CJ is the Best qb in the nfl
Fr bro i think theyre just still adjusting to a whole new system with Mixon in, and Diggs earlier. Notice they dont use TE’s anymore compared to last year. Also the teams adjusted to Texans system so they need time to revamp everything. People overreacting. CJ Stroud is still the clutch God in big games. Just wait before playoffs starts then judge them.

The only team that gave us a run for our money!... and was able to pressure Goff.... if they can show up in the second half... They could be scary 🏈
Texans have the #4 defense in the NFL right now.
Moved up to #3 defense.
@terran6471 I knew #3. I made a typo
ELITE DEFENSE for sure🤘🏽☝🏽
Tank broke a bone in his lower leg last season and then was shot in his leg right before OTA this offseason. I don’t think anything is wrong with him physically. That much trauma has to affect you psychologically however. Also the interior offensive line specifically is underperforming
You just earned a sub.
@@Brianvillarreal09 thanks brian!
Awesome Video! Thank you
Tank Dell did not tear his ACL he broke he 2 leg bones. just to let ya know. its not his knee. and he got shot this off season in the leg.
He broke his leg during last season as well. Sorry for wrong injury
Stroud hasn’t regressed his pass blocking did and they had more injuries to the wr room this year. Stroud is still top 10 in every category and still 7-4 and undeatfed in the division also Bobby s play calling on offense has been way worse this year
You need to be on ESPN..seriously, you know your football! ❤

Before I watched this video I was looking through the schedule and said the same..we can win all of these games !
Excellent...and on point !

@@byroooooooooooooooooooooooo appreciate it man
Well said. Go Texans
Not without that offensive line and their inability to score TD in the 2nd half. Yea I’m a Houston fan but let’s be realistic.
Thats what a dark horse is… lol
Texans biggest flaw is the o line, if they do decent to average they will fight just about any team
Play calling and that O line will hold them back
@@sethmevans hopefully they grow before the offs and hit their stride
Not an ACL for Tank… bone
It all depends on that O-line.

Stop, no they’re not. Texans are my team but i have to be honest, lets not forget CJ still struggling, the team blew a lead on Detroit due to the offense and lost to the crappy Jets.
Tank Dell broke his leg last year. Not an ACL injury. Just saying

But when?! When will they show this?!
Time is running out for them to get their shyt together
You're absolutely spot on with this video, my friend.

Texans haven't play their balls and still win 7-4 with 6 games to get ready like other teams. Texans could be at 12-5 record.
At worst, 10-7 and sweep the division.

Nobody fears the Texans... nobody.

Facts!!!!!
tank dell never tore his ACL
Tank Dell had a broken leg, and then was shot in the offseason.
Tank had a broken leg, not ACL, good video though
Texans have not had all star players on the field on the same time. When they’re healthy they are very good.
Go Texans!
You have to be blind to not see that, are Houston team has really only had one difficult game the rest have been close and that’s mostly because are teams players are all injured or out completely but yet still try to find ways to win
Our OC is the whole reason why we are being hold back and our offense being good bobby slowik gotta go
