Former Houston Texans players Cecil Shorts and Seth Payne team up for the first time to discuss Joe Mixon's lingering injury and what it means for the Texans rushing attack. They also discuss the offensive line competition, Will Anderson's dominance at camp, the rookie wide receivers, and C.J. Stroud having more command at the line of scrimmage

00:00:01 — Seth and Cecil introduce themselves, their shared history of being drafted 114th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and moving to Houston.

00:01:37 — Discussion on Joe Mixon’s training camp injury and its impact on the Texans backfield, including concerns about running back depth.

00:03:39 — Conversation shifts to Nick Chubb’s injury history, his fit, and skepticism about him being the lead back given recent injuries and age.

00:04:59 — Jawahr Jordan and Woody Marks as options; how the Texans may use their running backs differently, and coping without Joe Mixon and possibly Dameon Pierce.

00:06:38 — Mental and physical challenges of returning from major knee injuries, and Woody Marks’ potential versatility in the offense.

00:07:30 — Nick Caley’s background, how the Texans may use backs in the passing game (like New England did), and how this benefits CJ Stroud.

00:08:44 — James White/Joe Mixon as passing threats; potential for dynamic backfield duos.

00:08:59 — Transition to worries about the Texans’ offensive line, ongoing camp competitions, and impact on both sides of the ball.

00:10:07 — How practice dynamics change without pads, what it means for evaluating offensive and defensive linemen.

00:10:47 — Will Anderson’s progress, Ersery at tackle, and the ongoing battle at right tackle.

00:11:35 — The coaching mindset of Cole Popovich and Nick Caley influenced by New England, and the desired “dog mentality” on the O-line.

00:12:07 — Coaching stories from the past (Alex Gibbs, offensive line philosophy), lack of former leadership on the Texans OL.

00:13:38 — Why the shakeup at OL was needed and why there’s reason for optimism.

00:13:57 — CJ Stroud’s shoulder soreness, offseason work ethic, and the importance of not overdoing workouts (reference to old strength coach Dan Riley).

00:15:07 — The new generation’s offseason approach, and praise for rookie wide receivers Jayden Higgins & Jaylin Noel.

00:15:56 — Breakdown of learning to play slot receiver, challenges for rookies like Jaylin Noel, and the importance of having Christian Kirk as a mentor.

00:17:16 — Specifics on the difficulties and expectations for slot receivers in this offense (hot routes, coverage ID, etc).

00:18:17 — Why slot receivers stand out in camp but sometimes fail in real games; historical example of Braxton Miller.

00:18:54 — Shift to CJ Stroud’s growth, system fit, building command at the line, and what’s realistic for his development.

00:20:14 — Importance of Stroud making mistakes now, how learning from them will grow his in-game leadership and line-of-scrimmage control.

Welcome back, Texans fans. We continue to discuss the Deshaun Watson situation, and the Texans decision to absolve themselves from this matter, after 6+ months of biting their tongue and paying Watson $39 million to not play for them. Also, we discuss Davante Adams being traded to the Las Vegas Raiders, and the parallels between that trade and the DeAndre Hopkins trade from 2 years ago this March. Also, how the Matt Ryan trade to the Colts impacts the top of the AFC South, even if the Texans have no chance to compete in that AFC South CKSAML Productions

Welcome back, Texans fans. Deshaun Watson has been traded to the Cleveland Browns. He still faces civil suits from 22 women, alleging sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and sexually predatory behavior. We discuss all the ramifications and work through some of the moral and ethical conundrums of this situation of the past year, and the years to come around the Watson situation.

Welcome back, Texans fans. There's not much action for the Houston Texans this year in Free Agency, since they are in Year 2 of a 5 year rebuild. I discuss how the Texans can keep up long term cap flexibility in 2023, while also making short term, tanking-type improvements in 2022 (like they did last year with Mark Ingram and Rex Burkhead). Also, I compare the state of the Houston Texans franchise to the division rival Jacksonville Jaguars, and how the Jaguars decision to spend big on Day 1 of Free Agency impacts their rebuild and the state of the AFC South.

Welcome to my 1st ever episode of the BLEAV in Houston Texans Podcast!!! We jump right in by discussing the state of the Houston Texans, hopes for this Podcast, and how the Texans will begin their rebuild for the next 3 years. Then, we discuss the #3 Pick in the NFL Draft that the Houston Texans possess. Not necessarily the specific player the Texans will pick, more so the idea of this being (ideally) the highest draft pick the Houston Texans will possess over the course of their 3 (or 5) year rebuild!!!

The soap opera that is the Texans offseason continues as Houston remains the hottest story in the NFL - for all the wrong reasons. Henry and I discuss why the trade talk is silly and the amount of 'unnamed sources' and Twitter posturing makes the drama that much more.... Dramatic. It's Texans, it's offseason and only one result is worth it...
