We always talk about the Houston Texans roster needing to improve — but let’s be real… sometimes the coaching has to be better too.
In today’s Locked On Texans Podcast, we’re breaking down what DeMeco Ryans and his coaching staff HAVE to leave behind in 2025 if Houston wants to take the next step from playoff hopeful to true contender.
🔥 On today’s show:
Clock management & two-minute drills — Why execution late in halves and games has to improve
Playing not to lose — Why Houston goes conservative with a lead (especially in the 4th quarter) and how it could be slowing CJ Stroud’s growth and offensive progression
Foot on the gas or foot on the brake? The biggest philosophical question facing this coaching staff
But it’s not all criticism — because this offseason actually comes with clarity.
For the first time, Houston knows the answers to the test. What needs fixing is obvious, and it doesn’t require a complicated rebuild.
✅ Another huge positive?
The Texans defense is intact. Every key contributor is locked in for another season, giving DeMeco Ryans a foundation he can trust heading into 2025.
And finally… CJ Stroud turning down the Pro Bowl wasn’t just a decision — it was a statement.
Why saying “no” was the right move, what it says about his mindset, and why Texans fans should love it.
This episode is fun, honest, and drama-filled, with real conversations Texans fans are already having.
