The Houston Texans Hype Train Needs To Slow Down 

How many games do you think the Texans will win in 2024? 🤔

Idk why but the “RIDICULOUS” in the thumbnail has me rolling 😂😂😂

There is no Texans… only the strouds 👁️

THE STROUDS WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!

Don't forget that the Texans were missing Tank Dell down the final stretch of the season including, of course, the playoffs. He adds a different dynamic to their offense so keeping him and other key players healthy could be a key

If it was the Texans organization putting out all the hype, I would say you have a point. I'm sure everyone at the Texans offices knows how hard it is to win in the NFL, especially the players. It's just that the team did alot better than expected, the post season awards for CJ and Wil, the big trade, and finally the new uniform reveal all happened one after the other. This hardly ever happens.

I am a Texans fan and have been through a lot. I’m enjoying the hype but I definitely agree that we need to control our expectations here. This is a “prove it” year for us and I’m excited to see if we actually will become one of the elite teams in the AFC because there is absolutely potential here.

You anointed the bears already and the players you expect to preform the most havent played a single snap, atleast the Texans players who People expect to preform have played actual games in the NFL.

i think a key point you forgot to mention is the texans last year had the record for the most amount of o-line injuries which dramatically reduced the effectiveness of the run game. with that being even just average, and with the addition of mixon, that will improve a lot. you also mention slowik leaving, but he isnt leaving this year so thats not really a consideration going into next year. every team around the texans got worse, while the texans got better, and also went through an injury bug. so its not like the only way is down

while you make good points and winning a super bowl is very tough, CJ Stroud just lead that Texans team that was supposed to be terrible to a playoff win in his rookie year. I think all the hype is warranted and especially adding great weapons in the offseason I think they're gonna go far this year

As a Texans fan I do believe the hype needs to die down a bit. This is the real test year. To see if we are truly ready to compete. I am personally hyped though.

Thank you for making this, I expect them to be good, but everyone is acting like this is the avengers assembling, and I think it’s the same with the bears, both are getting overrated so fast

As a Texans fan, we know. We don't need a 15 min video. It's the nfl commentators

careful the strouds will blow up your car (and maybe a planet?)

You delusional, trend chasers, need to open your eyes and realize why he’s calling out the ridiculous levels of hype, that the Texans are receiving. He’s not saying they’re going to suck, but merely, they’re not championship contenders until they prove otherwise, because one year wonders are a thing, and in spite of how good on paper, the Texans look right now; nothing is ever guaranteed!

QB sophomore slump. It’s a real thing…

Sleeping on Lassiter….didn’t allow a TD in 2023 and let up single digit first downs all year. He also was lights out in the screen games and anything underneath on film also had the fastest 3cone drill in the draft he’s insanely physical and is lock down in coverage his film is actually very good..

Die hard Texans and agree that the meat riding has been crazy this year. Most of us want more but are excited the rebuild didn’t take 10yrs after what BoB did

Love ur channel man i look forward to all your videos and i wanna go into doing the same thing you do someday with sports talk. You are one of my inspirations man! Keep up the great work!

As a Texans fan I think the team will be better this year, but our schedule will also be much more difficult so I wouldn’t be surprised if the record isn’t as good.

In a new regime, Olave goes for over 1500 yards

I'd say Texans are a playoff level team, but not at the same level as the Chiefs or the Ravens yet. But I do know they're gonna be fun to watch

Great point about how people always assume the best case scenario for every young player's development and production. This is also why every team thinks they won the draft the day after picks were made.

Did you get a new camera? Either way I love seeing you investing into your set up. Keep posting everyday and you’ll blow up truss

They easily a top 3 or 4 team in the afc, dont trip gng

I call BS on this video 😂

0:50 got Pat McAfee so mad

If anything, Texans had a great off season, LETS GO HOUSTON 🚂🚂, #bullsonparade 🤘🏽

That's why the Texans let Diggs out of his contract after this year. They won't allow him to be a headache.

Diggs will either bring himself back this year and be amazing for CJ. Or… he’ll do the same thing as the last 2 years and let the wheels fall off. The rest of the team is seemingly getting better at every position for the last 2 offseason. I see them staying at least where they were last year but more comfortably. The real work begins next season. Stroud should be absolutely primed to take the on league by then

Thank you for this.

Wrong video bro you need to make a video about the bears hype train people think they are gonna make a playoff run bro🤦🏾

As I've heard in college football, "it's a lot harder to go from 9 to 12 wins than 3 to 6, or even 6 to 9 wins.

They scored 3 offensive points In Baltimore….

Keyshawn is definitely blowing this a bit. If next year they look like they did all last season then I’d say they’re one of the top contenders. However right now the book is out on the Texans and other teams like the chiefs and bengals will be better. They’re division has also gotten better

We never had a hype train before. Can you tell me where I can get tickets??

When you pointed out that the Texans only beat teams they should have beaten in the last half of last season, that's just hindsight speaking. They were only supposed to win 6, maybe 7 games last year. So a bunch of those wins were unexpected given their roster/experience, even though they weren't against elite teams.

i don’t pay no mind to what Keyshawn says. he ranks quite low in my talking head analyst list. a lot of projects that he participates in crumble with his fair share of blame. hate to say it but critical thinking wise he’s just not there

Texans gonna prove all you goofies wrong.

Texans making all the right moves but their div gonna be a lot tougher then last year and the afc in general should be even stronger expecting the Bengal Jets and Chargers to be contending for the playoffs as well

No. We do this every year with the Cowboys and Bills. There is a reason for it. Every yesr those same teams have high expectations. Now its the Texans turn.

Even a slightly mildly healthier team will see the Texans do better than last season. I don't think people realize they went into the season heavily injured and then each and every week was a shuffle of who was injured and who wasn't. Demeco deserves a heck of a lot more credit than he gets for navigating that.

saying the texans are better than the ravens is crazy ravens have top 3 defense and a lethal offense with the reining mvp and it has only gotten better

my thing is this, as a texans fan i agree the hype train needs to take a bit of a break, but for the “how many games did they win that they shouldn’t have” … good teams find ways to win games, period. bad teams find ways to lose games & they found ways to win whether it was ugly or by double digits, so dealing in hypotheticals make no sense to me because we can do it for any team in the NFL including Kansas City. i also think you’re sleeping on Kamari Lassiter, at some point you have to look past the measurables. Lassiter had the lowest EPA when targeted of any CB in the 2024 draft, dude didn’t give up many passes whenever the ball was thrown his way. Diggs is only there for one season, fully guaranteed money. he’s fully incentivized to give the Texans the best version of himself so he can get an even better deal on the open market in 2025. Bobby Slowik may leave in 2025, he may not but even if he does, Jerrod Johnson is waiting to assume the OC job. i’m not as high on Trevor Lawrence and the Jags or Will Levis and the Titans, i think they’re only real competition in the division is indianapolis. overall, i agree asking the texans to win the AFC in this loaded a conference is a tall ask, but that goes for literally any team EXCEPT the Chiefs … Baltimore couldn’t do it, Buffalo couldn’t do it, Cincy only did it once & Miami have also failed … so why not Houston? great video though man keep up the great work !!

as a jags fan i appreciate you making this video 😂 duuuvvvvaaaal

Diggs will not act like this in Houston. If he does, the team will not allow it. He is not the superstar anymore and the team will rally around CJ and not let any players disrespect him

I think the Texans will more than rise to the occasion. This team is just different with a special QB, special playmakers, and special coaches, brother.

The Texans got better at nearly every aspect of their roster, not only that Cj stroud did that as a rookie

Yes, settle down the irrational Texans hype. The Bears are going to win the next 12 Super Bowls.

Does it? Somewhat of a reactionary video, I'm sorry to say

Considering the schedule. As a Texans fans I feel they’ve put themselves in the best position to succeed. And that’s all you can ask for in the 4th year of a rebuild.

Fun Fact: C.J. Stroud didn’t score a single touchdown against Baltimore the 2 times they faced. And he has yet to meet Spags.

The reason I’m hyped on the Texans is because they were able to do what they did with a record amount of injuries to starters on the O-line and had the most injuries to starters in the NFL last year. They were on their last legs going up against the ravens. For reference the last team to have even close to the amount of injuries to the O-line as the Texans did was the 22/23 Rams who went 5-12 the season after winning the Super Bowl. They also had a huge amount of injuries to the starting CBs as well. So yeah there’s reason to be on the hype train for me unless you think they are always going to have that many injuries.

100-0 Texans win versus Vikings soon

Lmao. “A nickel” he barely played nickel at all at Georgia.

It really comes down to staying healthy and how they handle expectations. They're legit SB contenders (not favorites) but I could also see them missing the playoffs in a stacked AFC.

Nico Collins & Tank Dell torched NFL cornerbacks last year.Stefon Diggs will be matched on some team's 3rd best CB.Picking up future Hall-of-famer Danielle Hunter will help take the pressure off of Will Anderson Jr. C.J Stroud just completed one of the finest rookie seasons ever.Joe Mixon will contribute along with Azeez Al-Shaair. Let the hype 🚆train begin

One other thing the Texans have to worry about: Road games for dome teams are pretty bad record wise, especially once you adjust for Drew Brees. If they're not getting the best record in the AFC, dome teams historically *suck* if under 50F. That's the Bills, Ravens, Bengals, Chiefs, Jets, Steelers, Browns in the playoffs.

Marshon Lattimore liked a post linking him to the Texans. Just saw it

As a Texans fan this is the most excited I can remember being for the upcoming season, but I do feel uneasy about a few aspects of the team. The O-Line in particular. Also having to play a first place schedule. Still hyped nonetheless!

Diggs was just done with the cold 😂😂😂

How many teams in the AFC got significantly better in the offseason?

This dude is TRYING to cover The 2024 Houston Texans in 14 minutes. Don't lie, you had the Texans winning 4 games in 2023 ha ha

Offseason not over yet. I don’t think the Texans are done

I am a Texans fan and I couldn’t agree more.. Love hearing the hype though it’s a good change of pace

This is the most excited I've ever been during an off-season. Let me have this one. Please.

The Texans are the favorites in the AFC South, but Indy will be better if Richardson can stay healthy. The Jags were the 1 seed until TLaw got injured. They have a high ceiling, but talking about them as the Chiefs closest rivals rn is way too early.

Fill my cup, I’ve been thinking the same thing!

Let’s just hope Diggs doesn’t cry stroud into a sophomore slump.

I think it is safe to say that Houston Texans will win the next 5 Super Bowls.

I think it’s a little eerie how much of an analogue the 2024 Texans are for the 2023 Jags

bout the last vid I was expecting

Nah the train must keep going until it stops

Interesting how everyone forgot about the Texans-Ravens divisional round game

Honestly once Watson came over they started to play nice and fans hyped up then his court issues and leaving and getting CJ to throw and oddly enough they are the same if not better since he’s been playing their.

franchise qb, 3 star wr, franchise left tackle, good tight end and running back, developing secondary core, elite edge rusher. Hype imo is justified

As a hopelessly hopeful Bears fan, I agree, the Texans hype train is out of control.

Football Analysis tells me he loves me more than my dad

Diggs is a poison everywhere he goes, wait till something doesn’t go his way he’ll start being a baby

We can't say this about a team blown out by the ravens until we see them win

The Stroud boys will not be denied 🤘🤘

I love Stroud- I mean LOVE him (I'm going to marry him) but I'm so glad someone out there is finally being realistic about this team for the upcoming season.

Cj plays 1 or 2 more games is rookie mvp unanimously

Only thing that is important is Stroud. If he replicated his rookie season the team would be good no matter who they play or who is on Houston’s roster.

Everybody can have their opinions...at the end of the day.....we have to start the season 1st....and win games they are suppose (on paper) to win....and win the games people think they shouldnt win. We wait......and we see then and ONLY then hype them as they go through the season. No matter win or lose.....we have our franchise QB and for that alone im hyped....and refuse to slow that hypeness down! Its too many unkowns right now to predict how far will this current team go this season.

Only 1 team wins the Superbowl so if thats your measuring stick for success, then yes, you will be disappointed.

I usually agree and highly respect your analysis, but I also think you forget the revolving offensive line the Texans had last season while learning Slowiks zone blocking scheme. You also didn't mention that Stroud missed three games to the concussion protocol. In the Ravens playoff game, not only was Tank Dell missing, but also Noah Brown, their second and fourth leading receivers against the top defense in the league. Brown seems to have been forgotten even though he had big plays in many of their wins. The depth behind them was already not deep. All teams have injuries, but where those injuries are in correlation to the opponents can make a difference in the outcome. I just think if you are going to mention how they fared against those teams last season, while mentioning the pieces they have added, the returning players that were out should have also factored into your analysis. Mike MacDonald also was effective in his defensive scheme against Stroud in college and this is an area where Stroud needs to grow.

Yeah the hype train on this team is overblown the Ravens destroyed them flat out made them look like they didn't belong with the big boys and they don't a WR on the down hill slope of his career won't make a difference

Yeah I've enjoyed watching this Texans team, but I will agree that they need to prove that last season wasn't just a one time thing. After how people refused to buy into the Eagles when they didn't have as good a season, I'm not penciling these guys in for greatness just yet either. Eagles in 2023 were arguably in a worse spot after the SB than they are now. Texans could easily have things go wrong and then we'll start questioning them again. If that happens, it's just evidence of how hard it is to stay good in the NFL.

Ohhhh. The Texans fans are here... Im not saying super bowl.... But this will be amazing for years to come. #WeAreTexans

Idk what their win total is but after seeing that schedule im betting the under. That’s a gauntlet. And you know there will be regression + injuries.

No the reason the Texans came to the jungle and won last year was because Tyler Boyd mutely dropped the game winning TD pass. That’s why the Texans won. Well we stole one of their defensive linemen this year. I hope they play again this year. If not we will see yall in the playoffs.

I say it’s more of the media hyping us up more then anything. I think most fans know we have a brutal schedule but at the same time we know we have a possible Super Bowl caliber roster that can contend and beat anybody. So there are reasons to be excited. The Chiefs are the cream of the crop but honestly I want to beat Lamar we have not beaten this man while he the QB for the Ravens. We got them at home this year if we can beat them we can beat the Chiefs

It's overkill honestly. They already have two WRs that are at least as good at Diggs.

This man must hate the Texans he obviously doesn’t think we are capable of success

Texans vs Lions is the Superbowl we need 🙏

This ignores all the context of all the injurys in the final stretch when are wr2 was robert woods And are o line was torn to shreds

At 8 minutes... What is that? So much space abover your head.... Get your face in the top third of the image, my man. You're a good looking dood. Not only that, but you have conviction in your speach. Present yourself!

Ya know what I thought you were just gonna shit on us in this video but this was fair. Texans I think will be really damn good but we got a long way to prove we gotta prove we can beat teams like the Chiefs and Ravens to truly be SB contenders. I expect 10-12 wins and I think we get to the AFC Championship game I really think this tough schedule will have our guys battle hardened going into the playoffs.

Diggs won’t be a true #1 and will likely be pissed. Texans have three other solid weapons, starting with Nico. There will be issues.
