DEAL-BREAKER
Texans head coach Lovie Smith joined the Rich Eisen Show and shared his thoughts on how things should operate on game day with his staff. Last season, Texans GM Nick Caserio was on the headsets with David Culley and the coaching staff, sharing his input during games. When asked if that would be the case this season, Smith told Eisen that he never experienced a GM being involved on game day, and he doesn't "plan on it."
Be sure to check out the video below as Vanessa and Gallant react to Smith's comments.
David Culley didn't seem to mind Nick Caserio wearing a headset/contributing during games.
When asked on @RichEisenShow, Lovie Smith had a different tone.
I think Lovie is a vet & needs minimal input from Caserio. @GallantSays disagrees.

Jason Alexander, claimed off waivers from the Athletics last month, pitched six shutout innings for Houston before tiring in the seventh. Mauricio Dubón, Christian Walker and Cooper Hummel also homered for the Astros.
Smith and Dubón went back-to-back in the fourth.

Smith connected for leadoff shots in the second and fourth. He drove in three runs and scored three times. The 22-year-old rookie has five major league homers — and two multihomer games.
Dubón followed Smith's second home run with his second this season for a 5-0 lead against A's starter JP Sears, who walked the bases loaded in the first before giving up a two-run single to Jake Meyers.
Smith finished off his first four-hit game with an RBI double in the eighth.
Alexander (1-0) threw a season-high 95 pitches in his 12th career start and first since Sept. 18, 2022, with Milwaukee. He allowed three runs — two earned — and three hits.
