Expectations for Houston Texans with C.J. Stroud, Stefon Diggs | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
/ nflonnbc - Sport
If I were a gambler I’d bet right now it’s the Chiefs-Texans in the AFC Championship. Stroud is a guy who could take down Mahomes as well as Burrow, who’s proven it. But Stroud-Mahomes could be epic.
Too risky man not saying you're wrong but the hype, the change in chemistry, and the fact the Texans made the playoffs because the Jags got key injuries after the beat the Texans and then the Colts literally dropped the ball and lost to them. Not taking anything away I just think Texans played the easiest schedule in their division and now they'll play the hardest. They could do it I think they just overachieved and will balance out this year and maybe be good 2025.
@@904TallerTimbecause of injuries when they literally beat them healthy and almost did a second time
@904TallerTim Hope your team isn't in AFC South. If so, your going to be chasing Texans for years to come.
Better value is Texans AFC winner +850
@@904TallerTim the Texans will be the second best team in the league right now .
I want Texans v Cowboys too. The schedule maker would be stupid if they don't make this into a Thanksgiving game.
Think they play week 2
I'm a Buffalo fan at heart but have lots of respect for the Texans. Maybe because I'm a Bama fan. Excited to see what they do this coming season!
Uh 🙄 caserio has been there straightening the roster for a while now. Getting a pic haul for Watson was key, then the coaching and the qb. And now with this all-in haul of FAs, They should be able to weather the injury storms. First thing first, win the division.
Plus the draft hasnt even happened yet
I'm a Texans fan and the super bowl window is right now for the Texans to win the super bowl. Texans SWARM GO TEXANS
They got 2 guys with 10 or more sacks..
25total
I think Texans have earned 4 primetime games this year and a flex game too. I’d love to see Stroud vs Anthony Richardson on Monday night and a Christmas game vs the cowboys. Houston is looking even more dangerous than last year and what’s even scarier is they have depth. Heavens forbid Mixon diggs and tank go down they still have Pierce Collins Metchie Brown etc to pop in
you dont think collins is a first string? lol
@@jayangek3532he is I’m just saying matchups and depth I don’t know who will be WR1-A. Tank Diggs or Collins.
Texans will win the AFC South; host a playoff game; win it; and be two games away from a Super Bowl in New Orleans (where it should be every year). January will be interesting. Go Texans!!!!
They understand that the clock is ticking on CJs rookie contract. Gotta get a ring before you pay him a big contract.
This statement alone shows you how ass backwards this league is when it comes to how you pay players
I think the QB rookie contract is overblown. The salary cap keeps going up each year and CJ seems like the type of QB that can make it work with whoever
Rookie contract Super Bowl winner has only happened 6 times, not like it’s a blueprint.
@@RamsHouse99 yeah i know. i wish they would stop over paying WR and QB.
@@RamsHouse99 salary cap
DeMeco had that energy when he was a linebacker for the Texans!
Demeco Ryan’s in that clip reminds me of Mike Tomlin
Is not whether stroud can be better. Is if the peaces around him get better. Cj did this with the 2022 peaces that got them that 2nd pick in the draft.
Ignoring adding Dalton Schultz, Tank Dell, and having Nico Collins meteoric rise is wild. CJ was not playing with the group from the year before.
CJ is great as is DeMeco, teams will be more clued up playing them this year, but hopefully they can keep the momentum going. Diggs a great player but on the downward curve IMO - should bring some nous and experience to the pass options though. Hard to argue that they haven't made the effort to build this roster. I wish them well.
I believe that whole they have tape is overblown though to begin with. They had plenty if tape half the hear onwards, and this team is loaded amd hard to stop on offense with a good oline. Mixon and Perice in the running game bot to mention Mixon pass catches, Diggs, Nico, Dell, Schultz plus an even better CJ I'm not worried about tape cause anyone fan say that. Texans have tape too. Not to mention Defense which was top ten last seaosn is miles better also. Pass rush is elite, Which helps the backfield Linebackers are really good, decent CBs and safeties despite tape and harder schedule this team is ten times better in talent amd well coached, We should win at least the division I see AFC title game
@@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester From all that I've read, a lot, and listened to on the NFL over the last 40 years reviewing other teams schemes, player styles and tendencies, OC and DC looks and switches on set ups from (old fashioned term now of course) 'tape' is a crucial part of preparation for all teams. It has a sliding scale of importance upwards as the season progresses. Viewing new coaches and their schemes / playing personnel and ho that embeds during the current season and develops from the previous season. As you say it's a 2 way street but 'viewing previous games' is important when considering newer players / coaches with less games under their belts. Important too on established players ' Ed Reed noticing a 'tic' Peyton Manning developed (he pumped his arm down) when going to throw to the left side of the field from studying film allowed him to make an excellent interception by fooling Manning he was peeling right then moving back to the right. (a good example). People will be looking for 'tics' in CJ's play. I hope the Texans do well. CJ was fantastic last year and hope he is this year too.
@craigburgess7105 Yeah I get and know all that I'm just saying We've had film on Mahomes for how long? Still can't stop the guy? Just saying it's not automatically oh we will stop him because we have film. Especially given It's a new scheme with new players
@@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester That's true ! 😀 He's some player. Agreed it's not automatic. I really liked CJ Stroud's attitude and calmness under pressure. Impressive for a rookie year in the NFL. AFC is so deep.
@@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester The whole "next year teams will have tape on them excuse." Was probably valid back when defense was allowed. Lol
They beat the Bengals WITH Joe Burrow. But that was a different team. It remains to be seen whether the off-season acquisitions will perform. We lost five guys up front on defense, along with a right tackle, a number one running back, a center, and a very good punter, The DB room hasn't improved by addition in free agency. If it doesn't improve by offseason work they have one corner, one aging safety and one aging nickel. The expectations are ridiculous. Some of last season's games were great. Some were awful. Overall, they were just so much better by comparison with the past years we got over-hyped. Some games were won by a heroic field goal, some by a fluke. I can wish and hope for greatness from the whole team, but I can't kid myself that they HAVE a complete team. The talking heads need fodder and decided the Texans could be that. We'll see what happens when the games are played.
CJ Stroud seems like the kind of guy to me who takes nothing for granted. I guess his teen years were pretty rough and he had to fight for everything. But in reality that did him a favor. I would be more surprised that Stroud has a “Sophomore Slump” than if Donald Trump wins the 2024 election. And even though I strongly dislike Biden I’d go -150 on Joe to win in November. Bummer.
Joe is going to lose even with all the fake votes.
CJ to Trump that's a stretch from one end of the Milky Way to the other.
Its joever
No talk of stupid politics here, no damn place for that bullshit, we're talking freaking about football
The McNairs said they were always working. During the down years, they were still working to build draft capital and clear salary. The foundation for last year were built during 2020-2022. Nick Caserio is good at not overpaying guys. The only 'overpay' of course will be for CJ Stroud.
Graphic’s wrong, George Fant joined the Seahawks
i dont know if is such a good idea to put a diva WR in the huddle with a 2nd year QB. Lets see how stroud reacts when diggs gets in his face.
Texans are going to be scary with Diggs. I’m betting Diggs end of season mini slump at the end of the year was either a fluke or purposely dropped for motivation to trade him. Mr. Digg clearly wasn’t happy here.
I wish him well as he is a great player when he was happy to be here. With that said, It will be hard to replace him. After this years cap hit, It will allow the Bills more opportunities to sign other talent Using Diggs’ money.
The NFL really needs to up the salary cap more. Made put in some sort of language that says what percent of a teams cap can be used for a DBs or QBs or RBs etc
I know this will NEVER happen.
Texans Vs Chiefs should be 1st game of the season.
To win it all this roster is loaded anything less than the afc title is a failure
Punctuation helps
@@selftaughtinfectionI hate run-on sentences ;-)
I argree
It his second year
@@evanmcginley430 We want to go all in
Are they better than the cowboys though.?
100%
Is that even a serious question lmao last year they were better and we took a huuuge step forward in the off season. Dallas still has Dak and Jones 😂😂😂😂 good luck
No doubt, as Dak is a choker!
CJ has as many playoff wins as Dak does.
That's how we do boyss.!! Texans swarm.!!
H7m
Texans had like 8 good games last year. They had a pretty easy schedule. Can we see them put it together for 17 games before we anoint them?
Finally a good take. People are jumping on the Texans way too soon.
@@M98747😂 lol . they surprised everyone last season . they will be a scary and hard team to beat for sure. so your wrong they will only get better
@@jenniferu6470 The Jags fell apart like they usually do and the Colts were playing with a backup QB and were one play from winning the division. The Texans are lucky to play in the AFC South. Any other division and they don't have a hope of making the playoffs.
They better hope so. Diggs blew up a lot of cap space
Not really. It's a one year deal and Texans still have 20-something million remaining in salary cap.
I expect drama has come to Houston
Maybe, but they'll be ready to handle it.
Drama already passed Houston, there will be drama on Texans opponents.
@@KWCline91 I hope so
Everyone will want houston they will get houston !!! 😊
@@jenniferu6470 I hope they will be even better this year
