The Houston Texans defeated the New England Patriots 20-9 on Thursday for their first preseason victory under rookie coach DeMeco Ryans. It was an up-and-down start for Houston’s new football era that previewed some of the skeleton that will form the team this upcoming season.
On the Texans Wire’s “Another Texans Podcast” Cohosts John Crumpler and Patrick Storm took time to breakdown the victory over New England. They cover the rocky performance from rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and how it compared to third-year quarterback Davis Mills. Additionally, they wonder just how big Tank Dell’s role may be on offense and just how troubling additional offensive line injuries could look.

On the defensive side, the two remain extremely excited about inside linebacker Henry To’oTo’o and what his emergence could mean for the defense. Overall, they also discuss the energy and strategy that Ryans has brought to the unit during his first season.
