First you over dedicate then you notice that you’re great, and you’ve been the whole time, then it slaps you in the face. #Nipsey

@BearsShowYo Bcuz it’s more to it than being an elite athlete. In his defense, they tried to make him WR1. If he was used as WR3 to where you’re just using his athleticism, then he would’ve shined.

I truly don’t understand why Devin Hester didn’t pan out at receiver like he did as a returner

@TexansCommenter Nico def played slot, all of them can, not like their set position, but situationally, yes. And I agree, he can give pointers on adjusting certain route concepts, etc, but he’s not gonna be in there on the chalk board, teaching them the offense. That’s on coaches and reps.

Teaching the EP offense is certainly a thing. A veteran slot is a specific target. Nico isn’t a slot wr and hasn’t played slot on this system. Nico is still 27 and could’ve used a vet to help him on how to adjust routes in this O last year honestly. He struggled early on on sight adjustments. The texans themselves have specifically targeted veteran slot wrs and made it known publicly they were. It’s for a good reason.

Hunter Renfrow is a name that could be a fit for the Texans that I haven’t seen mentioned. Likely a vet minimum signing who’d provide backend slot WR depth, and he has experience in an EP offense under Josh McDaniels in LV in ’22 and ’23. Jaylin Noel is currently the only true slot with NFL reps on the roster, and Renfrow could at least help on the mental side of the scheme. Worst case, he’s a camp body who helps teach the offense and adds layer of competition on bottom or depth chart. This would be a move that makes sense if the staff is committed to giving Noel the lion’s share of slot snaps in ’26.

@TexansCommenter He can give vet tricks and some route running pointers, but “teaching the scheme” is just not how it goes. Nico is our vet, why does everyone think we need all of these old guys? He’s going into year 2, he knows the plays. He needs reps.

@BobbyRayJr This scenario Renfrow isn’t taking from any of them. If anything he’s a major benefit to teaching the scheme to Noel like I said above.

@LastBornSons @Texans_Thoughts k

@BobbyRayJr @Texans_Thoughts You can’t develop effort and motor. It’s either you got it or you don’t. Guys like Lee Hunter, Kaden McDonald, Gracen Halton, Zane Durant, and Chris Miller play to the whistle. They all have their flaws when it comes to technique and areas they need to work at and “develop”

This Texans mock is all about physical smash mouth football I need it

@LastBornSons @Texans_Thoughts So he needs to be developed and isn’t a finished product, like all other college players? Got it.

@Texans_Thoughts The film shows he takes plays off. He will be really dominate, but he doesn’t sustain it. He needs more consistent effort snap to snap. There were reports that he was doing this as well at the senior bowl!

@TylerJReidy lol chill out

Prairie View A&M starts 5/7 from 3 and this is all I can think of.

Florida just big af.

If PV can hit those shots outside and get some scrappy rebounds, that’s the best bet.

@MrGoodLyyfe @CryLawson lol I’m not, I would’ve benched nephew.

@BobbyRayJr @CryLawson Nows not the time to be facetious bish 🤣

Demeco Ryan’s made the right choice not benching CJ in that patriots game .

@TexansJacob Exactly. Him, Higgins and Hutch showed they can handle more, time to let them develop, Nico is Nico and if Tank can be near himself, along with Dalton, you can build with that.

I really cannot understand why would you see how Jaylin Noel play at a high level as a rookie in limited reps because he was blocked by Christian Kirk then Kirk leaves and want to sign another vet WR with very little juice in the pass game. You don’t draft a player in the top 80 who shows really explosiveness then continue to load up the room to stop him from getting a real role.

@CryLawson Nah, folks just soft.

@BobbyRayJr It’s a different world now

I swear I’m the only football fan that doesn’t give a shxt about benching a struggling QB. That’s the 90s Steve spurrier mentality in me tho, that boy will start you, pull you, then put you back in if the backup bs’ing.🤣 2nd half, really late 2nd quarter would’ve been Mills.

@MLFootball BoB ruined my guy, idc.

UNDERRATED: Wide receiver Keke Coutee as a rookie for the Houston #Texans looked like a budding star. Receptions: 85 Receiving yards: 966 Total touchdowns: 5 Coutee had a solid first season in the league, but never put it together after that:

@mijoliciouss @MrOptimisticHou Bcuz you gotta let the young guys actually develop, and allow the OC to grow into his role to play call for them?

@MrOptimisticHou Nobody thinks it’s the old Hop But remember, Nico wouldn’t be Nico if it wasn’t for hop Also we sucked in the redzone last year Why not grab one of the best hands in the league

Can we stop the madness? You do not need DeAndre Hopkins back.

@FearedBuck Not even gonna lie to ya…. Throwing a chair that close to my daughter would’ve been a “no go” for me….

ABC has canceled The Bachelorette after their lead was seen in a leaked footage physically attacking her ex-boyfriend and throwing metal chairs at him while her child was present and reportedly the child was struck during the altercation.

Imagine a healthy Tank Dell(🤞🏾) running routes w/Nico and a true burner on the field… So you can’t double or bracket Tank AND Nico, and also worry about someone running a 4.32 down your sideline on a go route. Then you still got Schultz underneath and Woody in the flats.

Well, if Tank doesn’t work out Higgins can have 1 next season. 81 is as a tho. Nah, or he can get 9 back if Brevin doesn’t work out

I forgot all about foster moreau signing… I’m good at TE this season, more concerned with another stud back, burner at wr and OL depth to develop behind the vets.

I’m legit actually good with Schultz, Brevin(please stay healthy) and Stover. If OL is improved, like it should be, it allows Dalton to be more of hisself, just chip and get into your routes my boy. He’s NOT a “dominant” blocker, but for me, you don’t need it from a TE in 2026.
