The 1-3 Houston Texans face a 1-3 Ravens team that is REALLY injured and struggling mightily on defense. AND YET...Texans fans know that the Ravens have had their number for many years.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson was released by the Houston Texans in a surprising move this week. There were reports of blown coverages and a lack of accountability for his mistakes. Former Texans players Cecil Shorts and Seth Payne discuss. Also, they discuss whether C.J. is playing himself out of a contract extension at the end of his third season.

The Houston Texans have the lowest scoring offense in the league, and C.J. Stroud did not look like a ball placement specialist whatsoever versus the Jaguars. Former Houston Texans players Cecil Shorts and Seth Payne give their reaction. Cecil notes that C.J. was inaccurate on at least three of his deep shot opportunities in the game. They go on to discuss how poorly Nick Caserio's off-season plan is working, and that Seth is really a dope for buying into it...as of now! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Seth Payne And Bucky Brooks discuss the upcoming Texans vs. Jaguars game. Bucky is the sideline reporter for the Jaguars, and he's been impressed with the way Liam Coen is running things in Jacksonville. He also cautions that the Texans offense takes awhile to get working in sync, as we saw when Bill O'brien brought his version of the Patriots offense to Houston.

The Houston Texans lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football, and the offense simply has simply not clicked. Unable to run the ball, questionable play calling, and a maddening absence of Nico Collins while C.J. Stroud has thrown only one TD in two games...This is not what we wanted to see. Meanwhile, the defense has collapsed at the end of both games this season. Former Houston Texans players Cecil Stroud and Seth Payne break it all down. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Upon further review, there were some encouraging moments from the Texans offense in Week 1! But can they fix some of their issues on offense before Monday night versus the Buccaneers? C.J. Stroud made some great throws when pressured, but the entire offense needs to clean up their pre-snap operation to really unlock C.J.'s potential. There were also some miscommunications in pass protection that seemed uncomfortably similar to last year. Offensive coordinator Nick Caley needs to clean that up this week.
