Had a chance to catch up with @jonmalexander of the Houston Chronicle earlier today to discuss some of the outlook of the Texans heading into 2026.
Jon also shared insight from his exclusive conversations with Nick Caley and Keylan Rutledge.
Peyton Manning on CJ Stroud at @FanaticsFest:
“He went to the playoffs in his 2nd year. He was 22. Let’s be careful saying it was a down year. I didn’t win a playoff game ‘til my SIXTH year. He’s 2 for 2.”
Running back gets hit helmet to helmet.
Says two words to the defender after and gets a 15 yard penalty for “taunting”.
NFL rulebook focused on “player safety” is so ass backwards 😂
NICO COLLINS:
Most underrated player in entire NFL
6’4” 220 LBS & runs like a gazelle, great route runner, ELITE ball skills, ELITE run blocker, ELITE hands 🦄
TOP 5 WR IN THE NFL
Jon Gruden on Joe Mixon has me CRYING
“I love Joe Mixon. I don’t like him, I love him”
“There’s good burgers & GREAT burgers. There’s good hotels, great hotels. There’s good backs & GREAT backs” 🤣🤣
Update: he was not shook AT ALL in the second half. Dude is the MVP for a reason and Baltimore is a WAGON‼️
Built very much like the other Harbaugh’s team, MICHIGAN. ELITE Defense, ELITE run game and MVP QB.
Would like to add nearly EVERY #Ravens fan I interacted with on here
Azeez Al-Shaair showing respect to his opponents:
Tells CMC “good run boy, you run hard as hell, keep going.”
Tells Mac Jones “keep fighting boy, you a dog.”
Accidentally pokes George Kittle in the eye and immediately apologizes, the two joke and go back and forth all game.
Channing Crowder & Ryan Clark’s response to Derek Stingley Jr. nonchalant answer to when he realized he was an NFL level player has me rolling 🤣
Via @thepivot
Bo Nix when asked how they can make their offense more consistent:
“I think if we can find a way not to have to play the #1 defense in the league, that might help.” 😂
Nick Chubb is a perfect SWARM fit:
“I was questioning why they wanted me. Then I came here and saw a bunch of guys who like to work & not talk & I realized I’m a perfect fit.” 🗣️
Christian Kirk (@ckirk) shares how the @HoustonTexans would “help fly me back and forth every weekend” during OTAs so he could visit his pregnant wife.
First class organization 💯
