The good, the bad and the ugly are all on the table in this episode of Locked On Texans as we break down Houston’s first-team offensive line, C.J. Stroud’s command of the offense, Marlin Klein’s emerging role and some VERY interesting developments on the depth chart. 🔥 THE GOOD: • Tytus Brown at center created excellent balance up front. • Keylan Rutledge looked right at home at his natural guard position, constantly looking for work and finishing blocks. • Trent Brown was excellent on the right side, helping Houston’s right side account for 29 of Marks’ 37 first-drive yards. • C.J. Stroud looked completely in control during his limited sample size. • Houston clearly has a plan for Marlin Klein — and the rookie has George Kittle written all over him… in due time. 😬 THE BAD: • Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith — two of Houston’s biggest offseason offensive-line additions — are now sitting behind the starters. • That’s roughly $18 million in salary sitting on the bench. • Is it time for the Texans to consider moving on from one of them? 👀 THE UGLY & THE SURPRISES: • What’s next in the Houston Texans offensive line evaluation? • Wade Woodaz looks like he’s locking down LB3. • Marte Mapu? That situation is looking much less certain. • And the Ja-len Gang keeps making plays — Jaylin Smith and Jaylen Reed continue to stand out, especially in run support. The Texans are still evaluating this roster, but the early signs are getting harder to ignore. Is Houston’s starting offensive line already telling us what this offense is going to look like in 2026?","meta_description":"The Houston Texans finally gave us a real look at the starting offense — and there was A LOT to like.
