The Houston Texans handled business at home and took care of the Arizona Cardinals — but don’t let the final score fool you. For DeMeco Ryans and this Texans defense, the standard was NOT upheld. And the film makes it clear why.
Missed tackles.
Bad technique.
Too many clean windows.
The Cardinals completed 11 passing plays of 10+ yards, and that’s a real issue for a defense built on discipline and violence at the point of attack. Coach Ryans wants it cleaned up — fast.
Meanwhile… CJ Stroud gave you EXACTLY what you needed to see.
No turnovers.
No unnecessary sacks.
Quick decisions.
Taking what the defense gave him.
The flow of the game fit perfectly into Stroud’s hands, and he managed it like a vet. Houston put up 17 points in the first quarter and added 7 in the third — the two quarters where this team has struggled most. That’s growth. That’s execution.
