Dalton Schultz just said what a lot of Texans fans were thinking… and it explains A LOT about the Houston Texans’ offensive struggles in 2025.
Schultz admitted he was already used to the offensive philosophy — while others weren’t. That detail opens the door to a bigger conversation:
Why did the Texans offense look disjointed and out of sync?
Why were young WRs struggling to get on the same page with CJ Stroud?
Why did Houston consistently lean on veterans like Dalton Schultz and Nico Collins?
And most importantly… is this on the quarterback or the play caller?
I’m saying it plainly: in 2026, CJ Stroud has to be more demanding. Franchise QBs set the standard. If Schultz and Nico had clarity, every skill player should have that same luxury. Miscommunication, timing issues, and a lack of cohesion defined stretches of the 2025 season — and that can’t happen again.
Plus:
Why does it feel like Nick Caserio has been more publicly committed to Tank Dell in 2026 than Joe Mixon? One word: transparency. We break down what that means for the Texans roster and the direction of this offense.
And there’s more — Houston is retaining another key coach this offseason. That’s twice now. This isn’t random. This is about culture, continuity, and belief that DeMeco Ryans has this team on a real Super Bowl path.
If you’re a diehard Texans fan, a CJ Stroud believer, or someone questioning the direction of this offense — this episode is for you.
