PODCAST: Texans Land Marvin Harrison Jr. as C.J. Stroud, DeMeco Ryans Spark New Hope

The Houston Texans finally have life. Well, sort of. On this episode of the Texans Roundtable, Halk breaks down Houston’s dominant 26-3 win over the Tennessee Titans, C.J. Stroud’s continued resurgence and the immediate impact of DeMeco Ryans taking over defensive play-calling.

Stroud delivered another efficient performance, Will Anderson Jr. wrecked the Titans with three sacks and the Texans finally played the kind of complementary football fans expected entering the season.

Then came the blockbuster. Houston acquired Marvin Harrison Jr., reuniting the former Ohio State star with Stroud and adding another fascinating weapon alongside Nico Collins, Jaylin Noel and potentially Tank Dell. Halk explains why the move could be a steal, why the Texans are betting on Harrison’s upside and how quickly he could fit into the offense.

We also discuss Dell’s ongoing return, the Texans’ penalty problems and the biggest remaining concerns despite finally getting into the win column.

Finally, we preview Houston’s London matchup with the 4-1 Jacksonville Jaguars and explain why this game will tell us far more than the win over Tennessee did.

The Texans are only 1-4. But suddenly, they look like a team refusing to let the season die.
