The Texans have taken a less than aggressive approach to bolstering the offensive line. Seth is okay with the strategy for now, but only if they actually EXECUTE the strategy. In this episode:

2:34 Why the O-line strategy just might work

The Houston Texans have been busy in free agency — making 16 moves in just a few days. From the David Montgomery trade to major offensive line additions and key defensive extensions, Nick Caserio has been aggressive reshaping this roster.

In this video, I break down every single Texans free agency move so far, explain what each one means for the roster, and give it a mid-term grade. Some of these moves look great on paper… a couple might be a little riskier than people realize.

Moves discussed include:

• RB David Montgomery trade
• OT Braden Smith signing
• OG Ed Ingram re-signing
• DE Danielle Hunter extension
• TE Dalton Schultz extension
• OT Trent Brown return
• S Reed Blankenship signing
• DL Sheldon Rankins return
• TE Foster Moreau signing
• LB E.J. Speed return
• DL Naquan Jones return
• DE Logan Hall signing
• S M.J. Stewart return
• K Ka’imi Fairbairn extension
• P Kai Kroeger trade

By the end of the video, I’ll give the Texans an overall free agency grade so far — and explain what Nick Caserio still needs to do before the offseason is over.

The Texans made two major moves within hours — and they tell us a lot about what this front office believes.

Houston trades Tytus Howard for a fifth-round pick… and he immediately lands a three-year, $66 million deal with Cleveland. Then the Texans pivot and trade for David Montgomery, giving up a 4th, a 7th, and Juice Scruggs.

So what’s the plan?

In this episode, we break down:

Why the Texans really moved on from Tytus

Whether the compensation was too light

What Montgomery adds to this offense (especially in short yardage)

Whether Houston overpaid

How this reshapes the draft strategy

Why “best player available” might not cut it anymore

And whether this ramps up the urgency to go after a true difference-maker on the offensive line

This can’t be another year of patchwork up front. If these moves are about protecting C.J. Stroud and redefining the offense, then the offensive line conversation just became the only conversation.

Let’s dig in.

Phil and Matt Simms open the episode by discussing the Giants’ offseason uncertainty after losing out on Todd Monken, breaking down what John Harbaugh should prioritize in finding the right offensive coordinator for quarterback Jaxson Dart. The conversation then shifts to the NFL Hall of Fame, with Phil delivering a passionate critique of Bill Belichick not being a first-ballot inductee, calling it a failure of the voting system and questioning the credibility of the process.

The second half of the show focuses on the NFL awards, with the Simms giving their own picks for Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, & MVP. Phil strongly argues that Matthew Stafford deserves MVP, while also pushing back against the league’s quarterback-heavy award culture and advocating for greater recognition of defensive stars like Myles Garrett. The episode wraps with a broader discussion about how awards should evolve to better reflect football as a true team sport rather than a quarterback-only competition.
