How Houston Texans training camp is providing big clues into plans at QB
DROPPING CLUES
03 August 2023
Houston Texans training camp is in full swing and we're getting our first look at the QB battle taking place.
Most reports have Davis Mills playing better than CJ Stroud at this early stage of camp, which shouldn't come as a surprise. Mills has so much more experience than Stroud. And what about Case Keenum? If the team wants to go with experience, he has more than all the QBs.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans has said the team is done with the rebuild and looking to win games this year. If we take DeMeco at his word and Mills out plays Stroud throughout the preseason, could Mills be the starter Week 1 against the Ravens?
Plus, the defense is way ahead of the offense right now, which is to be expected this time of year. But should we expect the offense to close the gap as the season gets under way, or will the Texans have to count on the defense to carry the team in 2023?
Be sure to watch the video above as the guys break it all down.

Houston Texans add critical piece to protect Stroud, stabilize offensive line

According to multiple reports, the Houston Texans are signing offensive tackle Cam Robinson to a 1-year contract.

KPRC2's Aaron Wilson is reporting that the 1-year deal has a max value of $14.5 million.
With Laremy Tunsil now a member of the Commanders, clearly the Texans wanted to add some more talent at the tackle position.
Rookie right tackle Blake Fisher showed some promise last season, but he also had his share of struggles, as one would expect from a first-year player.
This move provides the Texans with flexibility if they choose to play Tytus Howard at guard again, while also giving GM Nick Caserio additional options in the draft.
Many believed the Texans would be locked in on drafting an offensive lineman with their first pick, which they may still do. But now, they can focus on taking the best player available, which could very well be a receiver at No. 25 overall.
Plus, this addition will make the Texans less predictable on draft day when rival teams are trying to predict who Caserio will draft based on Houston's needs.
Robinson started all 17 games last season, splitting time between the Jaguars and the Vikings. The Vikings traded for Robinson after their starting tackle Christian Darrisaw was lost for the season to injury. With Robinson in the last year of his deal and the Jags' season setting up to be another failure, Jacksonville decided to trade their left tackle away. Robinson (age 29) was drafted by the Jaguars in the 2nd round out of Alabama in 2017.
Make no mistake about it, this is a solid pickup by the Texans!
