The Houston Texans kick off the 2025 season on the road against the Los Angeles Rams. In this Week 1 preview, we’ll break down everything you need to know:

• CJ Stroud’s homecoming game in California

• His admiration for Matthew Stafford, who he’s called his favorite QB

• The revamped Texans offensive line with new leadership under Nick Caley & Cole Popovich, built to handle Chris Shula’s defensive scheme after last year’s struggles with stunts and simulated pressures

• Key connections between the two teams, including Nick Caley and Jerry Schuplinski’s Rams coaching tree ties, and DeMeco Ryans’ familiarity with the Rams from his 49ers days

• The joint practices the Texans and Rams shared last year that bring added familiarity

• Keys to the game: secondary eye discipline vs Stafford’s no-look throws, pre-snap communication in a loud road environment, and red-zone efficiency

NFL analyst and Yahoo Sports writer Nate Tice joined the show to break down the Houston Texans. He explained why he’s so high on CJ Stroud, including referencing the video where he interviewed Stroud on a play breakdown at media row after his rookie season. Nate also shared his thoughts on rookies Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins, gave a big prediction for Nico Collins, and talked about his own football life at Wisconsin. We also got into his unique perspective growing up as the son of an NFL player and coach. A wide-ranging conversation full of Texans insight and football storytelling.

We had the pleasure of hosting former Houston Texans wide receiver and Director of Player Engagement, J.J. Moses. At 5’6”, he was once the shortest player in the NFL, but his journey is packed with inspiring stories— from his playing days in the league and NFL Europe, to his time in the Texans’ front office leading player development, and now helping NFL players transition into life after football.

J.J. also shared insight into his book Focused: The Prepared to Win Mindset (with a foreword by Joel Osteen), available now on Amazon.

In this episode, I was joined by @TexansProbe’s @DrewScouts and @TexansJacob for my Texans Content Creator Spotlight series. We got to know more about Drew’s role as a scout for the Shrine Bowl, Jacob’s work as one of the top Texans content creators with a heavy focus on stats and film, and their shared passion for football and the Houston Texans.

We discussed their podcast, dove into different types of football stats — breaking down which ones are more valuable, which ones can be misleading, and how to view them in proper context. We also reviewed our thoughts on Texans training camp so far and shared observations from the Texans-Panthers joint practice, including key standouts and takeaways heading into Saturday’s preseason game.

We were joined by ESPN’s DJ Bien-Aime to break down his observations from Texans training camp. DJ shared why he’s now higher on the offensive line than before, believing they can be a middle-of-the-pack unit, and explained how and why he thinks the defense can be the best in the league. We talked about his observations of the Nick Caley offense so far, including personnel usage, overall operations, and C.J. Stroud having more control at the line of scrimmage. We also discussed injury updates on Joe Mixon, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Christian Harris, and Dameon Pierce’s return. DJ described what he saw when Brevin Jordan got hurt, his take on the fallout from reactions to C.J. Stroud on Twitter, and clarified what his tweet meant after some fans may have misinterpreted it.

Plus, we shared takeaways from DeMeco Ryans’ postgame interview, discussed offensive philosophy moving forward, and answered live Q&A throughout the show.
