Locked On Texans - Daily Podcast On The Houston Texans

Houston fans… it’s time. With a short week, a red-hot Buffalo Bills team coming to town, and no C.J. Stroud for Thursday Night Football, we’re entering a reality nobody wanted — but EVERYBODY needs to talk about. In today’s episode of Locked On Texans, we’re diving headfirst into Life Without Stroud AND Pitre, two of Houston’s seven most important players, and what that means against Josh Allen and a Bills team that’s won 3 of their last 5. We break down: 🏈 Why Jalen Pitre’s absence around the LOS could change everything — from containing Josh Allen to eliminating turnover-worthy plays. 🛡️ Has the “rookie” nameplate officially been ripped off? And if so… what nameplate belongs on Derek Stingley, Kamari Lassiter, and most importantly — Will Anderson’s new running mate, Jacob Kirk? 👀 DeMeco Ryans’ REAL expectations for a short-handed Texans squad. 🧱 Is the Howard–Brown combo the BEST offensive line pairing Houston has had all year? 📉 Is sitting at .500 a crisis… or a comeback story? After starting 0-3, how should Texans fans really feel? Drama? ✔️ Real talk? ✔️ Texans therapy session? ✔️ Must-watch energy? ✔️ Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Houston wins… but BARELY. 😅 The Texans escape the lowly Titans to move to 5-5, but this game raised WAY more questions than answers — and we’re breaking it ALL down on today’s Locked On Texans podcast! Why was this game such a struggle? It definitely wasn’t Davis Mills and Nico Collins, who did EVERYTHING they could to drag Houston to a win. But the Texans couldn’t run the ball, Christian Kirk is STILL getting snaps over Jaylin Noel (and it’s becoming a problem Nick Caley must fix ASAP), and yes… Henry To’oto’o is still missing tackles. 🤦🏽‍♂️ On the bright side, Houston’s defense dominated the Titans run game and made life miserable for Cam Ward and that battered Tennessee offense. But the big question now: 👉 Where is the confidence level for the Texans heading into the second half of the season? We’re breaking down the drama, the concerns, the highlights, and what this win really means. TAP IN for a spicy Victory Monday episode! Perfect for new fans, die-hards, and anyone who wants the REAL story behind the Houston Texans’ roller-coaster season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Houston Texans are gearing up for Sunday — but the biggest question is WHO’S IN and WHO’S OUT… and will it be enough to survive a crucial matchup with massive playoff implications? 👀 Demeco Ryans didn’t hold back this week: “The rookie nameplate is off — it’s time to go.” And he meant it. Plus, Demeco says what Texans fans have been screaming for: “Woody Marks has done a great job. We gotta continue to feed him more.” No kidding — he played 80% of offensive snaps against the Jags and looked like a true difference maker. We dive into why the numbers prove that when the rookies shine, the Texans WIN… but when they disappear, the team struggles. So what will Sunday look like? And will a win finally mean Houston has conquered their early-season demons? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Peloton Let yourself run, lift, flex, and push forward.

The Houston Texans are in a tough spot heading into this matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars — but what reallyneeds to happen for them to have a chance? 🤔 Does Davis Mills need to play a perfect game, or is this the week Nick Caley must deliver a coaching masterclass to save Houston’s season?

That has to change — fast. Plus: 🚨 What a loss would mean for the Texans’ present and future 🧠 Why it might be time for more rookies, fewer vets 💥 Should the McNairs finally move on from Nick Caserio? 💬 And of course… a Texans fan therapy session.

The numbers don’t lie — and they tell the whole story of Sunday’s loss. The Houston Texans are officially dead last in red zone touchdowns from inside the 2-yard line. ZERO. Meanwhile, teams like the Saints, Raiders, Dolphins — even the Titans — are finding ways to score. So what’s the issue? Lack of snaps? Poor play calling? Bad red zone execution? We break it ALL down: 🏈 Jaylin Noel’s limited snaps (only 11!) despite back-to-back big games. 🏈 CJ Stroud’s sharp play before his injury — 5/6 vs the blitz, 70 yards, 4 first downs, +0.28 EPA per play. 🏈 And the BIG question: Should Nick Caley get another year as OC… or is it one and done? CJ Stroud is the franchise QB — but the franchise has to do right by him. Tune in, hit that 👍, and join the conversation in the comments! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Houston Texans’ playoff dreams might be slipping away after a brutal loss to the Denver Broncos. In this defeated Monday , we dive into: 🏈 CJ Stroud’s concussion — how his absence completely derailed the offense. 🚨 Red zone nightmares — 0-for-3, including two failed trips inside the 2-yard line. 🤦 Offensive collapse — Higgins and Noel COMBINED for one target?! 💪 Defensive heart — holding Denver 33 yards below their rushing average and limiting YAC. 🧠 Coaching concerns — did Nick Caley’s inexperience show in the second half? The Texans defense gave everything they had — but can Houston survive without its QB1? Are the playoff hopes officially gone, or is there still a flicker of life left?

This is it — make or break time for the Houston Texans. 👀 As they prepare to face the Denver Broncos, we take an inside look at the numbers that could define Sunday’s showdown. Denver ranks among the NFL’s best in YAC yards, while Houston’s defense has quietly been one of the top units at limiting yards after the catch — meaning the second and third levels of the defense have to play BIG. 💪 Plus, when Christian Kirk returns, should the Texans prioritize him over rookie Jaylin Noel? Both have flashed, but Noel has given this offense explosiveness and big-play energy downfield that’s hard to ignore. And finally — a temperature check on Texans fans 🔥: belief or doubt? Houston’s playoff hopes hang in the balance, and if they lose Sunday… they’ll only prove the doubters right. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The numbers might fool you — but the film doesn’t! Woody Marks has become a quiet X-factor in the Houston Texans offense. Despite an average depth of target at just 2 yards, Marks has turned 156 of his 165 receiving yards into YAC, ranking 16th in the league in that category — even though he’s only 30th in passing snaps! 👀 In this episode of Locked On Texans, John Hickman breaks down why Marks’ impact goes way beyond the box score and why Houston MUST keep him involved in the offensive game plan moving forward. Plus, special guest Stan Norfleet stops by to talk about: 🏈 The current state of the Houston Texans ⚙️ What’s working (and what’s not) on offense 🧩 Why the upcoming matchup vs. the Denver Broncos is a must-win if Houston wants to stay in the playoff race Tap in for Texans talk you won’t get anywhere else!
