HOUSTON — You won’t catch Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans doing a lot of yelling at players from the sideline unless he is calling out defensive plays. He leaves that up to his assistant coaches, like linebackers coach Chris Kiffin who can be heard clearly from across the field talking to his position group.
Yet, on Tuesday, Ryans could sense that the energy of his defensive unit was low, and he didn’t like the vibes they were giving off. During the second team drills of 11-on-11, linebacker Christian Harris deflected a pass intended for tight end Dalton Schultz from quarterback C.J. Stroud on the drive’s first play. Harris could hear his head coach yelling at his teammates as he returned to the defensive huddle.
