Houston Texans quarterbacks feel team is moving in right direction
While some quarterback rooms have tension, media-created or otherwise, the Houston Texans passers seem united under new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton. Both second year starter Davis Mills and lifetime backup (and sometimes tight end... seriously...) Jeff Driskel firmly believe the team is heading up.

The less sexy guy behind the thrown.
Admittedly, any football discussions around the beginning of July are going to be less exciting than they would be just about any other time of year. Teams have finished their OTAs and their training camps haven’t started yet. Free agency mania has long since gone and most of the draft picks have already signed and are starting to settle in. Finding topics to get excited about can be difficult.
So, we can...

Lovie Smith as head coach could be a great fit for the Houston Texans current situation.
Lovie Smith may not have been the Houston Texans first choice initially but may be a perfect fit for their current situation and Texans fans should be excited about what he can bring to the franchise. Unlike a few of the other Texans head coach finalists, Smith brings years of NFL knowledge and experience that will be extremely valuable in Houston moving...

The offensive line has been under the ire of fans for half a decade. The capital in draft picks and salary that has been expended is greater than the return the team has received. However, they enter...

The Houston Texans Davis Mills who will starting his second season with the Texans as quarterback had a decent rookie season! Even though his win loss record doesn’t show it. Mills played in thirteen games, starting in eleven of those games, he went 2-9 as a starter.
246 years old, doesn’t look a day over 245.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Back by popular demand.
On a long enough timeline, the survival rate drops to zero. One of the commenters on the previous article asked for an encore. At the same time, they made a key point which was absolutely right. Judging our kicker on the basis of one season could be unfair. He has been kicking since 2017 and he had his best season in 2018. So, maybe he wasn’t good enough in 2021, but he might be good enough in the aggregate.
So, we are...

Your next stud running back has arrived.
Georgia Bulldogs’ 2021 defense may go down as one of the best of the decade, but there was one running back who took it to the Dawgs during their run to the National Championship: Dameon Pierce.
After watching his film, this pick may be my favorite in the past three years. For any who read my articles covering the draft for the past four years, you know I haven’t agreed with much of the Texans’ last three...

What if one of these plays change? What if all of them?
2009: The Houston Texans lead the league in passing and possess the #4 offense in the league. The defense, while not great, does clock in at 14th. Most importantly, the Texans finally break-through and log their first ever winning season. Coming into the final week of the season, the Texans even have an outside chance at securing their first ever playoff berth. Unfortunately, Houston would have to...

It’s the end of June which means next month is July which means one thing:
NFL training camps begin!
Yes, we’ve almost crossed the vast football-less desert we’ve been traveling through for the last four months. And with training camp on the way, what better time than to find out which rookie you’re most interested in watching than right now before camp begins.

Offensive Coordinator Pep Hamilton could bring consistency to the Houston Texans offense in 2022.
Pep Hamilton is getting another opportunity to be an offensive coordinator in the NFL. The last time Hamilton was an offensive coordinator in the league was with the Indianapolis Colts and Andrew Luck in 2015.
After the Colts moved on from Hamilton in 2015, he would go on to be the associate head coach and quarterbacks coach for the Cleveland Browns in...

Pro Football Focus thinks Davis Mills needs another target
While we drift through the doldrums of the NFL off-season, waiting desperately for more football, general manager Nick Caserio is still hard at work reshaping the Houston Texans roster.
As many positive moves as the team has made in 2022, the roster is still far from championship caliber. Which means there’s still room for improvement in every position group.
The folks over at Pro Football Focus...

Well, we asked and you answered, BRB faithful. After some serious painstaking research in the form of asking you a pair of questions, we finally have the results of those two poll questions from last week.
And heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere they are!
It looks like more than half of you think we’ll improve on our win total by at least two games this year. Here’s hoping you’re right or that we even, dare I say, exceed...

Could the Texans spend the four million they are spending on their kicker more effectively?
Language is a precise thing. When measured against statistics it is a very precise thing. People often interchange the terms value, importance, and difficulty. Two of those are relative terms and one is more exacting mathematically. When evaluating the kicking game, people will easily misunderstand and misuse the terms above. Question the value of a...
