The Texans defense is broken...and bad.

I don't know what happened to them. Maybe the lack of reps in the preseason? They can't tackle, they give up too many big plays, they are getting pushed around...it's shocking to see given what they were just 10 months ago.

No one fears them anymore. That's a huge problem.

What an embarrassing way to lose a football game.

That was a pitiful performance by the Texans defense, which has been awful all season long.

Losing is one thing but to get bullied and pushed around like they did all afternoon just can’t happen.

My goodness that was bad.

CJ Stroud is playing at a MVP level.

If the defense just needs to hold up its end of the bargain even a little bit...this team is dangerous.

That was a hell of a win. Great game.

Texans offense is on another level right now. CJ Stroud balling out. They’re in this thing. Let’s go on a run now that schedule clears up.

I’m fired up. Go Texans. 🤘🏼

Texans win...but the White Sox broke me. 😑

The Texans finally get a W, C.J. Stroud keeps rolling, and I'm ready to believe again.

Meanwhile, the White Sox have completely destroyed me emotionally. 🤦‍♂️

CJ Stroud plays great. Texans defense falls apart again.

Texans are 0-4. I discuss in the latest episode of my Playbook Optional podcast.

Texans fall to the Cowboys 34-30 despite CJ Stroud throwing for 347...

It should be said that CJ Stroud played a hell of a game today for the Texans and today’s loss is most certainly not on him.

He gets blame, but not this one. He was very good.
