Texans' Screen Game Is FINALLY Fixed! + Three Players to Keep an Eye on!

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 21:09:16 GMT

The biggest takeaway from Day 3 of Houston Texans Training Camp isn't just a highlight play—it's a major offensive shift that could change everything in 2026.

After ranking 30th in screen attempts and 34th in screen yards during the 2025 season, the Texans are making a clear emphasis on fixing one of their biggest offensive weaknesses. Under offensive coordinator Nick Caley, Houston is aggressively ironing out the screen game, and it already looks far more organized than what fans saw a year ago.

With David Montgomery, rookie Woody Marks, and an upgraded wide receiver room, the Texans finally have the personnel to make the screen game a legitimate weapon again. Could this be the missing piece that unlocks C.J. Stroudand elevates the offense to another level?

We also discuss:

Why the Texans offense looks ahead of schedule in camp.
Trent Brown making a serious push for a starting job.
Tank Dell returning to practice and why Nick Caley believes he can run the entire route tree as Houston's true Z receiver.
Three under-the-radar players turning heads:
- Marlin Klein
- Marte Mapu
- Dominic Bailey

If you're looking for the latest Houston Texans news, Texans training camp analysis, C.J. Stroud updates, and daily coverage you won't find anywhere else, you've come to the right place.

10 Texans Training Camp Themes That Could Define the Season

Bleav — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 22:34:00 GMT

After two days of Houston Texans training camp, several themes are already beginning to emerge. Seth breaks down 10 early developments that could shape the season, including the offense’s increased physicality, cleaner pre-snap operation, greater emphasis on precision and a renewed commitment to the outside-zone running game.

Plus, why the running backs and tight ends could become major parts of the passing attack, how Will Anderson Jr. is setting the standard for the entire roster, what Kayden McDonald is showing as a rookie, and why the offensive line already appears to have a different personality. It’s still early—and the pads haven’t come on yet—but the environment around C.J. Stroud looks considerably more promising than it did a year ago.

Texans' New-Look Run Game Is Already Standing Out at Training Camp + Higgins to DOMINATE in Year 2?!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 22:04:17 GMT

The Houston Texans are only one practice into training camp, but one thing already stands out—the running back room looks significantly better than it did at the end of the 2025 season.

On today's Locked On Texans, John Hickman and Big Sarge break down why rookie Woody Marks looks faster, leaner, and ready to make an immediate impact alongside David Montgomery. Could the Texans have one of the NFL's top 15 running back tandems in 2026?

But don't overlook Jawhar Jordan. After an impressive first day of camp, there's growing reason to believe he'll carve out a real role in Houston's offense. Could the Texans deploy a 50/30/20 snap split in the backfield this season?

Plus:

DeMeco Ryans makes it clear the Texans' rushing attack must improve.
Why the tight end room could be Houston's most versatile group since Ryans became head coach.
C.J. Stroud believes Jayden Higgins is poised to dominate in Year 1—and reveals he's communicating differently with the rookie. Was communication part of the issue for Higgins' predecessors?
The latest on Tank Dell's recovery and why Texans fans shouldn't expect to see him on the field often during camp as the organization prioritizes his long-term health.

If you're looking for the latest Houston Texans news, Texans training camp updates, C.J. Stroud analysis, Woody Marks highlights, David Montgomery, Jawhar Jordan, DeMeco Ryans, Tank Dell injury updates, and NFL training camp coverage, you've come to the right place.

Joe Mixon's Retirement EXPOSES the Texans Biggest Mistake of the Last Decade + Battles on the Field!

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 12:59:11 GMT

Joe Mixon's retirement marks the end of his NFL career, but it also shines a spotlight on a problem the Houston Texans have been unable to solve for nearly a decade.

In today's Locked On Texans Podcast, we break down why Mixon's departure is bigger than one player. Since Lamar Miller, Houston has cycled through seven different leading rushers while consistently undervaluing one of the NFL's most important offensive positions. From passing on Jonathan Taylor in the 2020 NFL Draft to relying on stopgap veterans like David Johnson and Rex Burkhead, the Texans' lack of investment at running back has become one of the franchise's longest-running issues.

We also dive into the most exciting matchups on the Texans' 2026 schedule, including:

Joe Burrow vs. DeMeco Ryans' defense in one of the season's biggest quarterback battles.
Texans CBs vs. the Dallas Cowboys' explosive receiving corps.
Why Calen Bullock, Tytus Howard and Azeez Al-Shaair could play pivotal roles in marquee games.
And why Houston should monitor Marvin Harrison Jr. if the Cardinals ever consider moving the former Ohio State star and C.J. Stroud teammate.

If you're a diehard Texans fan or just looking for honest NFL analysis, this episode covers the past, present and future of Houston football.

Bleav — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 20:40:00 GMT

You gave up on the Texans after that miserable playoff loss to New England. We understand. But training camp is here, so it’s time to reactivate your fandom.

Seth takes a chronological—and occasionally sarcastic—trip through everything that happened during Houston’s offseason: the David Montgomery trade, the departures of Tytus Howard, Juice Scruggs and Joe Mixon, the offensive-line overhaul, the Texans’ physicality-focused draft class, and the extensions for Will Anderson Jr. and Azeez Al-Shaair.

Plus, E.J. Speed’s devastating injury, C.J. Stroud’s comments about his contract situation, Tank Dell’s return to limited football activity and the biggest question entering camp: Did the Texans finally build an offense tough enough to complement their championship-caliber defense?

THE TEXANS' OFFENSE HAS NO MORE EXCUSES! Stroud & Houston's O-Line Must Deliver in Training Camp

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 01:52:37 GMT

Training camp is officially underway, and the expectations for the Houston Texans have never been higher. The spotlight is squarely on C.J. Stroud, Nick Caley's offense, and a completely revamped offensive line that could determine how far this team goes in 2026.

On today's Locked On Texans, we break down why Houston's offense—not the defense—needs to own training camp. We discuss why an improved run game is essential, how the offensive line must justify the organization's major investments, and why Texans fans should expect to see a more confident, commanding version of C.J. Stroud from Day 1.

Plus, defensive tackle Tommy Togiai joins the show to discuss giving back to the Houston community, his mindset entering training camp, and what Texans fans can expect from him this season.

Topics include:

Texans training camp expectations
C.J. Stroud's next step under Nick Caley
Why Houston's offensive line must deliver
The importance of the Texans' run game
Tommy Togiai exclusive interview
Houston Texans 2026 season outlook
Texans training camp analysis & news

Houston's Backfield Belongs to David Montgomery + Texans Top 25 Under 25! Give Caserio His Flowers

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 15:38:30 GMT

The Houston Texans aren't just built to compete in 2026—they're built to contend for a championship.

On today's Locked On Texans, we break down why the Texans' roster construction has created one of the NFL's best championship windows. Nick Caserio continues to cash in on second and third-day draft picks, DeMeco Ryans has assembled what could be the league's best defense, and Houston lands No. 2 on the NFL's Top 25 Under 25 rankingsthanks to stars like C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson Jr., Derek Stingley Jr., Kamari Lassiter, Calen Bullock, and more.

We also dive into the Texans' backfield after the arrival of David Montgomery. Why Montgomery still has a legitimate path to another 1,000-yard season, how Woody Marks factors into the offense, and why Houston's running backs could become major weapons in the passing game—not just between the tackles.

Plus, the fan-favorite Ear to the Street segment returns! Texans fans are split: Does C.J. Stroud simply need to be an efficient quarterback, or do the playmakers around him have to elevate their game for Houston to reach the Super Bowl? We react to your hottest takes and continue the conversation.

If you're a diehard Texans fan or just jumping on one of the NFL's fastest-rising teams, this is the episode you don't want to miss.
