Here, we're talking about the good team they're talking about play Texans are better than Chicago. The team the Patriots be today is better than I disagree with that whole They are a better team than Chicago.

Jackson writes in to slow down the Texans pass rush. If Kiris Tonga is back, would it be a good idea to put him on the left side of the offensive line. They were already using him as a fullback on offense.

Said on Patriots Unfiltered, 1:32:24· Patriots Unfiltered 1/15: Texans Preview, Team/League Updates, Divisional Round Picks

The Texans did a little bit with DK in their game on Monday night against Pittsburgh. So I would expect Diggs to continue to get number one attention, and they got to make them pay by throwing to the single coverage elsewhere.

The Texans defense, then maybe I ideally would want to go against Denver. We probably feel differently about that. But if you can get through the Texans defense, Denver's doesn't feel as bad. Maybe you play Seattle in the Super Bowl.

I'm going, I'm going Bears, Texans, selfishly, Bears, Texans, I'm, I'm speaking that into existence. Bears, Texans, write it down. Put the bring the credits, let the credits roll. We're going to our first Super Bowl this year.

I just didn't notice they signed Daryl Taylor to the practice squad this morning, which was reported by Ian Rappaport, who's played played some snaps in the league, was on Texas the Texans. I think he came up with Seattle initially, but he.

Point being if the Patriots don't turn the ball over, the Texans aren't a team capable of building up a huge lead. And with Houston being so one dimensional, I think that does play into the Patriots defensive strength of being pretty good on third downs.

Do the Texans have a scary defense, Yes, but it looks like the Patriots do too. That being said, I like Drake and company better than a Houston team that looks like it will be without their best wide receiver.

Lance, I want to hit you on the Texans. You're there, You're around that team, You're in that city. I made the case studying them last week getting ready for that game. I thought it was the most violent football team I've seen in a long time.

I am a big believer in him, and as the DC of the Texans buck underneath the Miko Ryans, smart guy Dartmouth education, I've been advocating to me, like the Giants job is out there. I think you pair him up with an offensive minded coordinator.

If they tie, and uh, the Chargers lose, or the Texans lose, or the Colts lose, or the Jaguars lose and the Patriots tie the Bills, they would also clinch a playoff birth, not the division, but a birth.

He went through the David Cully and Lovey Smith eraon Texans that was terrible. And so he's been through adversity his whole life, so it didn't really rattle him. What stood out to me is that that game is really over if Jacksonville has any confidence at all, and I think it starts at the quarterback.

Said on NFL News Hub, 11:20· Breaking Down the Big Week 10 Games

I watched the Texans just roll through their defense and now they had some injuries on defense, but that didn't look like a Ravens. It was the worst Ravens defense I've ever seen since their inception is Ravens and they've actually been able to right the ship.

Said on NFL News Hub, 36:08· Breaking Down the Big Week 10 Games

I think the thing that you talked about early when you described his game, that is his Houston Texans recipe. They are at their best when they're the bullies on the block. Would they lean into that ultra aggressive defense and personality and physicality and everyone knows it.

Said on NFL News Hub, 16:54· Breaking Down the Rest of Week 8

The Houston Texans are favored by two and a half because they should be over the Baltimore Ravens. The over under is thirty nine and a half. Ian Eagle JJ Watt Evan Washburn on the call as Greg No to Lamar Demetris Jackson.

Said on NFL Daily with Gregg Rosenthal, 17:13· 2025 NFL Week 5 AFC Preview

Texans Titans because the schedule makers said so. The good news is we get that game again later on in the year too, so in case you missed it this time, you can catch it later in the season.

Part of the reason, not the entirety of the reason, It is because the Texans didn't kick an extra point.

I'm for the Houston Texans to get going now. I know for people who are in gieteen leagues and things like that who might have been lopped in the already actually that was.

They had nineteen forced miss tackles a total for the Bucks, so that the Texans were just unable to get these guys down and Bucky was a big part of that, and a big part of that that two minute drive that ultimately ended with the Rashod White touchdown.

The instant cries of you score two quickly Texans were proven to be correct. Baker Mayfield is a magician. He is a ball of fire disguised by a Buccaneers uniform. He's somebody that you can rally an entire team around.

Said on NFL Daily with Gregg Rosenthal, 22:24· Week 2 Monday Night Football Doubleheader Recap: The Quintessential Baker Game!

I'm not really speculating too aggressively on anyone in the Texans backfield, mainly because I'm sort of put off by them potentially having the worst offensive line in the league. But yeah, the mixing foot thing is horrifying. Like I've dropped him down to RB thirty six in Dynasty, and I worry that I'm still like ten spots too high on him.

I think next year we get the Texans to draft someone significantly high or sign somebody. So I don't really like this whole scenario at all. I think what he mars has a role, and for this year, he's got a runway to perform.

How these quotes are chosen

Each excerpt is copied word for word from a transcript the podcast publisher supplies with the episode. Nothing is paraphrased, shortened mid-sentence, or stitched together from two speakers. The timestamp is where the passage begins — 50:52on the first quote above — and the link opens the episode at that point.

Transcripts label voices as “Speaker 1”, not by name, so every quote is attributed to the SHOW unless the speaker identified themselves on the recording. We never guess who spoke. If a quote here is wrong, use “Report this quote” and we unpublish it immediately while we check.

Podcasters who have claimed their show can opt out of quoting entirely.
