Caserio rebuilt the back end of the roster before the Watson trade and had to clear out bad contracts and get out of cap hell at first before this sudden turnaround. Doesn't feel so sudden to Texans fans...but it was worth the wait. The team is young, talented, fun to watch and full of likeable guys. Good show.

If DeMeco is the alpha of that locker room, then CJ is the example that DeMeco uses to show what is possible with the right mindset!

This is by far-and-large the most exciting young team in football in my opinion. The Lions are a close 2nd for me. Dameco Ryan is building something great in Houston and he is changing that culture and putting faith in his young guys. There’s so much talent on both sides of the ball. All these guys can make plays. As a fan and viewer, this team and the rest of the AFC South for that matter are going to be pure entertainment to watch.

I've personally always held the theory that most of the negative pre-draft noise around CJ was an attempt to get him to slide down the board by GMs that were just praying the texans would be the "dysfunctional texans" and pass on him. Outside of the S2 score nothing else said don't draft him. He actually threw at the combine unlike Bryce and had a really, really good performance, then his pro day was phenomenal as well. The film screamed potential superstar especially the Georgia game. At least to me it always seemed like the criticism came outta nowhere so I always felt it was a bit disingenuous. Then when you look at the system he was coming into I just don't get it. Many of us Texans fans did in fact think that RoTY was possible because we thought he'd be better than Bryce, AR or Levis but not many of us could've predicted he'd be this good this quickly. Glad Nick and DeMeco trusted their own process.

Great show, appreciate it. Couple of things on the Houston D. Kwami Lassister is going to lockdown the 2nd CB spot. The draft hype over his 40 time is going to look foolish in hindsight. Him and and Sting together are going to take away the top two options. The ball has to come out quick too cuz the dline is insane. DeNico Autry is right between Anderson and Hunter. Watch the highlights from those three and then imagine playing next to each other. As a fan since their inception, I've never felt like we've had a better chance to be a Superbowl team.

"He's not big and he doesn't need to be because you can't cover him" ❤🙏 Amen. That's Tank's game in a nutshell. If you haven't seen footage of him running in minicamp, it's gonna sound crazy, but he looks faster, like might have dropped a full tenth off his 40 time faster. Everyone eats in Houston. Tank is gonna feast.

All of my friends were on the Bryce Bus before the draft. I on the other hand was always wanting C.J. for the Texans. After he threw that interception in preseason I heard about what a mistake that the team had made. I still thought that he was the right choice, but I never envisioned him being what he turned out to be. I would love to see a Texans/Lions Superbowl. They were so similar. Neither team got any respect.

I’m a Texans fan and I wasn’t sold on CJ because of him coming from Ohio State. Largely due to him possibly having the greatest wr core in college football history. Now I’m beginning to believe it may have been the other way round. Not to take anything away from that core cuz they were really good. But it may be because of CJ’s greatness.

"Not our Superbowl year" Thank yall for saying that. It's so much more fun when people don't expect it. I proudly put this team up against any other team in the post season, especially KC and Baltimore. I know this team isn't afraid to go toe to toe with Lamar or Mahomes and I believe CJ will end up being even better than both. Go Texans!!

great video so far, Stroud only threw 5 interceptions last year though and it's worth noting that 3 of them came in one game which is even better seeing how many clean games he played all season long.

Juice Scruggs was hurt the majority of the year and only played 7 games unfortunately. He’ll definitely start at center this coming season

Going into last year our Oline was our best unit. PFF numbers said last year we had the most hurt offensive line in the league. Hopefully we can bounce back this year. Biggest question mark is Kenyon Green our 1st round pick 2 years ago. Also love Juice Scruggs I think he’s a star in the making

Texans will be a solid respectable team over the next decade. They're not going to dominate anyone.. in fact this year the schedule is brutal. Hopefully fans will be patient w this team💪🏿

Nick C. Is the architect over 3 years strapped with Watson's fiasco shopping for FA for 1yr contracts, drafting players that had talent, building draft capital from Watson trade. Then going hard for coaching and high draft picks. Nick plays 3 dimensional chess.

I know that some people don’t want to hear it, but it’s True…….God is a Texan fan!!!

Loved the fact you talked about Tank not really being a slot receiver even though that's what his body type suggests.

I still can't believe scouts and GMs saw the Georgia game and his pro day and were like.... "Nah" Thank you to everyone, but especially Carolina and Lovie Smith. Much appreciated.

Update ! Nico is 6’-4” and is 222 lbs. now

I believe that the Texans are the best team in Texas right now. I believe that the Texans can be in the super bowl this season. I've been a fan from the frist day. I'm really proud to be a Texans fan right now. Texans SWARM GO TEXANS

Be so cool if next SB is Houston vs Detroit

The thing that held Scruggs back was he was injured in training camp and did not even start a game untill about week 10 or so. but yes he was getting better each week it seemed and should turn into a fine pick i believe.

Great podcast 👍

I can see them taking a step back and I am a Texans fan but they do have the building blocks to go forward.They have a tough road to go this year with the schedule they have.

CJ had 5 picks not 6

The answer is Yes!

Rough schedule for us but honestly I have all the confidence in the world with this team we are pretty stacked talent wise. While CJ Nico Tank and Diggs will be great. Getting Joe Mixon was an underrated pickup because he going to take a lot of pressure off of CJ and he doesn’t have to throw the ball 40 plus times for to win. He had to do that because our run game was awful last year due to mostly Pierce wasn’t getting it done and our o-line was beat up. If our oline stays healthy we could probably have a top ten offense maybe top 5 offense On defense Danielle and Will are going to me monsters off the edge wouldn’t be shock if they both get double digits sacks. Stingley when healthy is a top 10 CB in this league and Kamari Lassiter if he continues to have a great camp he probably has that CB2 spot on lockdown and Christan Harris is slowly becoming one of the underrated players in this league. All in all I’m excited for my squad but we still have work to do because if we want to win the bowl number 15 of the Chiefs and number 8 on the Ravens are in our way. But we have the team that can compete with them Great video fellas

TEXANS TO THE SUPER BOWL 🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍👍

This was not a 1 year rebuild. More like 3-4 years. All the comments about the one year head coach’s were always supposed be one years as the found the right coach. O-line has taken years to build up from the trade for Tunsil drafting Howard has been years. We just finally got a QB and going all in unlike other years we never committed all in because they knew we didn’t have the right coach or QB.

I had no idea Anderson is that dominant

Without looking, CJ threw 5 int last year 😂 3 was in one game (Saints) didn't throw another all season.

Tank dell is Mr TD

It wasn’t a one year rebuild it was 3

Didn’t he only have 5 interceptions?

On Dell's route running, all I can guess is that he played a lot of football video games when he was a kid, and no one ever bothered to tell him that a human body isn't supposed to move like that.

No they’re not easy. They are a really good team though with a bright future.

Like the presentation right away. You guys gotta sub from me.

Scruggs didn't play till late in the year. He was injured

CJ had 5 interceptions, guys. Not 6.

Who yall think go win we face yall this year Texans vs lions lol

If you think this was a one year rebuild your mistaken

We've never said he was a bust ever and preseason doesn't count so why would you base his game play off of that .. that's a idiot move in itself .

As a Texans fan since day 1 idk where yall getting the 1 yr rebuild? U know how much the media loved to dog us as the nfl worst run franchise for 3 yrs straight before we landed Stroud.

You just want to passify Panthers fans! Bro CJ and Bryce are totally different and even if CJ was at the Panthers he still wins 6 games and I don’t think the Texans make the playoffs and they might would’ve won 5 games with Bryce stop this blasphemy
