Sure seems like Colin Cowherd is walking back his Houston Texans comments
WHAT CHANGED?
22 March 2023
We only have to look back a few weeks to remember Colin Cowherd's comments about the Texans' dysfunction being apparent through a Zoom meeting. We have to assume this was his reaction based on Sean Payton's description of the organization when he interviewed for the head coach position with Houston.
Fast-forward a few weeks, and now Cowherd is impressed with how the Texans have navigated the offseason.
He loves ALL the Texans signings in free agency, the Shaq Mason trade, and is a big fan of the Laremy Tunsil extension.
And this is a guy who admits he hasn't given the Texans any love on the show in recent memory. Until now.
With Cowherd's 180 on the Texans in mind, would any of this be possible without DeMeco Ryans returning to the organization as head coach and giving the team credibility?
Plus, is there a position you would like the Texans to avoid in the draft now that a lot of the holes have been addressed in free agency?
Find out why the team should proceed with caution when it comes to drafting tight end and running back in the first two rounds of the draft.

Stephen A. Smith presses Stroud on Texans' o-line concerns, Mixon loss
Aug 26, 2025, 1:25 pm
Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud joins First Take on Tuesday and shares his outlook for the season with Molly Qerim and Stephen A. Smith.
One of the biggest factors that could swing the Texans season has to be the rebuilt offensive line. Stroud was the second-most sacked quarterback last season, and Houston knew that had to change.
Smith asked Stroud about the revamped unit, and CJ had really good things to say about the tackle play with rookie Aireontae Ersery and Tytus Howard.
Stroud also credits the new scheme, believing the changes they're making will prevent some of the issues from last year from happening again. Specially, they're looking to get the ball out quicker and move the pocket to give the linemen more help.
Finally, Stroud discussed the new-look receiving corps, and how the Texans will replace Joe Mixon early in the season.
