Going into next season are Texans fans looking at the Texans season as AFC Title game or bust? If you're in the AFC Title game or bust category.. Is it because you actually believe they're good enough? OR, is it because it should be the next step for these Houston Texans after seasons ending in the divisional round for 3 years in a row now..??
The BIGGEST need for this Houston Texans OFFENSE isn't a position.. It's a personality! Would you feel better about CJ Stroud heading into year 4 next season if there was a bonified veteran alpha presence in that Texan Locker Room..? Maybe that's the route for the Texans Brass & young Stroud..
Texans fire tight ends coach Jake Moreland, move on from assistant linebackers coach Ben Bolling, not renewing offensive assistant Mike Snyder;
Is CJ Stroud scared of the moment or did young QB-1 in H-Town just play poorly in that moment vs the Patriots? Was young CJ Stroud pressing & playing poorly in the moment in those last two Houston Texans games of the 2025-26 season?? Will this tough season for Stroud MOVE him forward as he enters year 4 for the Texans?!

ITL kicks off with Texans GM Nick Caserio speaking live to the media, reacting in real time to his season-ending press conference and zeroing in on comments that raised eyebrows — including something potentially alarming about the Texans' offense. The conversation continues with deeper clarity from Caserio's remarks, including what he said about Joe Mixon and how it could shape the offense moving forward, before Around The NFL hits coaching news like Mike McDaniel being set as the Chargers' offensive coordinator and wraps with What's Popping in sports and entertainment. Attention then shifts to bigger-picture questions around the Texans' coaching staff, debating whether there's anything fans would actually like to see DeMeco Ryans change, mixing in Lunch-Time Confessions after something Caserio did warmed the OG's heart, and reacting to a strong hint at the Rockets' true identity — likely their best path to success, especially with Steven Adams out. The show closes by revisiting more fallout from Caserio's comments, debating whether keeping Nick Caley is the right move, and letting Figgy's Mixtape bring the chaos with the return of rats at a Humble Walmart, reactions from Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco on the Texans defense, and more wild stories.

Caserio on Nick Caley “I would anticipate Nick being here next year”.. So with Caley and CJ returning-It's hard for me to see any major changes being made on the offense.. Texans GM Nick Caserio on if offense had enough: 'We didn't execute well enough. We turned the ball over too much. If you don't turn the ball over, you enhance your chances of winning. Most important stat'
Wednesday's Stock UP.. or Stock DOWN?! Clint Stock Up: Tommy Togiai Stock Down: CJ Stroud Ron Stock Up: Aireontae Ersery Stock Down: Cade Stover
SKEEEZZZYYYY talkin' Texans!
The most concerning part about this offense- the inability to communicate, its scary on several fronts, H-Town..
CJ Stroud-INTS, How did the 4 happen..!?! CJ was off, rattled all day vs Patriots.. Defense gave up 21- 2 of which were WR on Safeties Diggs on Reed. TALE of the TAPE from Texans/Patriots thru the lens of a former NFL QB!!
Tuesday's 3:20pm on THE DRIVE- “REAL or FAKE?!?!” The Texans will end up paying Will Anderson more than CJ Stroud? You were one calling for Davis Mills to come in the game? I'd rather take the job with Josh Allen than the job with Lamar?
DeMeco's response to Nick Caley question was uhm.. Interesting.. The most important thing we heard from DeMeco Monday was when the Head Coach was asked “are you confident in Nick getting better and will he have that opportunity”.. Response was right to “I'm evaluating everything”.. Is Nick Caley in jeopardy of getting replaced?!?
The most concerning part about this offense.. The inability to communicate! It's the source of the panic, rattled, overwhelmed appearance you see with the offense.. It leads to wasting timeouts, rushing at the LOS, penalties; It is the 2 most important positions beyond the HC- OC & QB.. NO quick fix if there is a fix!!
-Stoerner: "I am Officially OUT on CJ Stroud.." -What Did YOU Think of DeMeco's Coaching Performance in the Loss to Pats? -DeMeco's Message POSTGAME? Just TERRIBLE..
A pocket passing QBs INTANGIBLE strengths are COMMUNICATING & PROCESSING A pocket passing QBs INTANGIBLE super powers are POISE UNDER PRESSURE, CALM IN CHAOS… A star QB takes ownership of the game, the offense, situations..
What was CJ Stroud's grade? 20-47, 212 yards, 1 TD, 4 INT, QB rating 28, 2 rushes 11 yards

Nick Caley was tremendous, CJ was not & Stroud appeared overwhelmed in the pocket a few different times in the Wild Card game Monday.. The OLine was better than advertised, the Texan offense was significantly better vs pressure looks & must continue that in New England! P.S. Pitre is cold blooded!
TAPE DROP (WEDNESDAY) on The Drive! Nick Caley was tremendous, tight bunch looks great, pressure looks maybe even better; sticking with the run was HUGE in the Wild Card round for Houston. Great on 3rd Down, BUT.. CJ Stroud was NOT great.. Stroud simply looked overwhelmed which is a prep thing y'all..

Seth & Sean get their first reactions just hours after the Houston Texans took down the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-6 in the Wild Card. Later, the guys have a Will Anderson Jr. segment circling around Sheldon Rankins' scoop-n-score. Then they get more into the fallout in Headlines. The guys then are joined by Audacy NFL Insider Ross Tucker to discuss more of the Texans' win as he was at the game as a sideline reporter. Afterwards, the guys re-live last night's victory through the voice of the Houston Texans, Marc Vandermeer. Then they hear the voice of the man himself head coach DeMeco Ryans with his locker room speech. The fellas then get petty as they come off the heels of watching the Texans defeat the Steelers. Also, they hear from Will Anderson Jr. immediately after the Wild Card win in the locker room. Plus, what are the Super Bowl odds? As the final hour rolls on, they circle back to talk how good the Texans were on defense and how offensive coordinator Nick Caley displayed his best work. Also, they discuss concerns around Nico Collins after he exited the game with a concussion. Later, they re-visit Calen Bullock who was on the SpeakEasy podcast.
