## Resource

The Houston Texans offense sounds different already — and so does the mindset. 🏈 DeMeco Ryans reveals the MAIN things he wants to see accomplished offensively in 2026, why the Texans can’t afford self-inflicted mistakes, and what has him excited about the tight end room. Plus, why Brevin Jordan Foster(?) could be the perfect middle man between Dalton Schultz and rookie Luke Lachey/Klein as Houston builds more versatility. 🔥 CJ Stroud also opens up on studying Nick Caley’s offense all offseason, why the Texans are “light years ahead” of where they were last year, what self-scouting taught him, and where contract talks stand. And one big question we dive into: Is CJ Stroud missing the deep shot? After vertical attempts dropped since his rookie season, does Houston finally have the pieces to become a dangerous downfield offense again? 🎙️ On today’s Locked On Texans: DeMeco Ryans’ offensive expectations CJ Stroud on Nick Caley’s system Texans tight end room breakdown Why Houston MUST stop beating itself Is the Texans vertical passing game making a comeback?
