New Texans QB Coach Jerry Schuplinski on QB C.J. Stroud’s offseason & OTAs/Mini-Camp via @AaronWilson_NFL: “Doing a really good job of everything we asked him to do. Coming with a great attitude, he looks good, he looks lean. Really worked hard on his body. He’s been putting in the extra time, you can tell on his own. The operation looks really good. The huddle command, getting the play calls out, getting to make sure we’re operating the line of scrimmage correctly. Shifts, motions, all that kind of stuff. And then he’s been taking all the stuff pre-snap to the field and then doing a good job post-snap, too. Seeing coverages, getting the ball out on time and playing pretty well.”

Texans OG Ed Ingram told @TexansVoice & @jharrisfootball about a play from Keylan Rutledge where he knocked somebody down then tried to get on them. Rutledge snapping the ball will be one of the most important things to watch come camp & likely decide who plays C.

The Texans offense led all teams in quick first-read completions last year via PFF, they were 26 completions ahead of 2nd place in the LA Rams. Houston’s offensive staff did a nice job creating surroundings for Stroud & co. that gave easy answers & help stay ahead of the chains which led to a much more efficient Stroud & pass game from 2024.

Texans OL coach Cole Popovich spoke very positively about OT Trent Brown & his impact on the room (Question from @Cody_Stoots & video from @AaronWilson_NFL): “He understands our system really well, understands the techniques and what we are trying to do so it’s great having him there, he pulls guys aside all the time and just hey this is really what he’s looking for.”

My biggest stock risers from pre training camp offseason programs based of reports & what coaches have said about players (not including rookies): - CB Jaylin Smith - WR Tank Dell - TE Brevin Jordan - WR Justin Watson - LB Jamal Hill - TE Foster Moreau

Texans WR Justin Watson said on Texans All Access w/ @TexansVoice & @jharrisfootball that during the 6 week break until training camp, C.J. Stroud & the WRs/TEs are planning to get together and work out.

QB Coach Jerry Schuplinski on how this offensive system is the right fit for CJ Stroud: “I think the biggest thing we’ve tried to do is how can we protect him, that’s not just with the guys up front and their blocking it’s also us getting the ball out of our hands but more importantly us defining our rules on how we’re going to handle things and I do think it showed last year.”
