The Houston Texans OL Is Holding This Offense Back | CJ Stroud Is STILL Playing at a High Level

The Texans' offensive line continues to be one of the biggest problems on this football team — and the All-22 tells an even bigger story. It's not simply about bad players. There are too many examples of confusion, missed assignments, poor communication and questionable execution , especially in the run game. From tight end/H-back blocking to second-level assignments, Houston is consistently one block away from creating a successful run. So is this a talent problem, a coaching problem, a development problem — or all three? We'll break down what stood out from the All-22 and why the Texans' inability to establish a run game is putting even more pressure on the rest of the offense. But there's an important counterpoint: C.J. Stroud has been extremely good. Despite Houston's struggles running the football, Stroud continues to produce at a high level and has been one of the better quarterbacks in the league in play-action , finding ways to create offense even without consistent support from the running game. Plus, we're looking ahead to Battle of the Colors as the Texans prepare for their matchup with the Tennessee Titans.
