As the Houston Texans prepare to host the Cleveland Browns in a wild card clash at NRG this Saturday, reports are beginning to surface about the Commanders and Panthers having interest in Texans OC Bobby Slowik.

If Slowik were to accept one of these head coaching positions, how would that impact CJ Stroud and the continuity of the offense overall? There's no way around it, if Slowik leaves, it's a big concern.

It's also fair to believe Stroud and the offense could show some signs of regression, even with Slowik still in the fold. Teams will have all offseason to watch tape of Stroud, and put together schemes in an attempt to slow him down. Not to mention how the other members of the AFC South could approach free agency and the draft with the idea of loading up on defense to stop Stroud.

The Mario Williams draft pick comes to mind. At the time, Gary Kubiak said they had to find a way to get some pressure on Peyton Manning to give themselves a chance against Indy twice a year.

On the other hand, where would Slowik be without CJ Stroud pulling the trigger in his offense? In the two games without Stroud, the Texans struggled on offense against the Browns and Titans. So that's something to keep in mind.

By comparison, the Browns are on their fourth QB this year in Joe Flacco, and they seemingly haven't missed a beat. Kevin Stefanski's offense has found a way to generate points with two of their best players on IR (Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb).

Flacco has thrown for over 300 yards in 4 of his 5 games, with multiple TD passes in every contest. There's a reason Kevin Stefanski is getting serious consideration for coach of the year.

But will he win the award over DeMeco Ryans?
