Stroud certainly needs stronger protection, he has been pressured so much that he is focusing too much on avoiding pressure than looking down field and sometimes feeling "ghost" pressure, but your right they have been really unlucky with the injuries, Stroud lost his top 2 star recivers, one for the season and it's only his second season and they did bring help in for him. He has a high ceiling, but things haven't gone great the past few weeks.
If CJ had an O Line his potential is through the roof. Literally last night I saw it. I saw the lost trust of his o line. He was nervous every time he dropped back. You can’t play good qb when you’re running for your life. Cj is so good and that’s why they stay in these games. And Joe Mix carry’s a heavy load too. I’m skeptical on Bobby their offense coordinator. What are your thoughts on him? I do like him but I feel like he could be better.
CJ Stroud was the least factor in the loss against the jets. 2 missed field goals, bad ref calls, will anderson out in the second half, no diggs or collins, and new receivers and the horrrible horrible O line would make anyone nervous. He had to make 2 plays in less than 2 minutes and that's asking too much of any QB, I think CJ handled it much better than most other QBs but yes, if the O line is not fixed, it is definitely gonna affect CJ's play, so the texans better get something cooking asap
I disagree bro we was in the game because Joe Mixon and the defense, there was so questionable plays where at worst case he should have thrown the ball away, other times he ran into the sacks, it’s not all his fault but he gotta get some blame as well
Slowik is calling plays as if Texans have the best offensive line in the league. Every passing play Cj has to wait for plays to develop. Knowing there’s offensive line issues why isn’t there a quick passing game schemed up, a fast no huddle tempo to gas the defense and prevent them from substituting and keeping their pass rushers fresh.
I am really worried that CJ is going to fall out of rhythm even further, it’s a combination of O-Line & Bumpkin Bobby Slowik that are killing us… EVERY SINGLE WEEK ITS THE SAME SHIT, if your O-Line is such trash then Run more quick slants, screens, Misdirection Play action etc etc, Roll his ass out of the pocket… I mean HOW CAN HE KEEP CALLING THE SAME PLAYS expecting different results.. they are going to get CJ Hurt physically or maybe even worse, mentally..
Last year we had a patchwork O-Line, I think they were all injured at one point, how can you upgrade everything across the board & now have your QB Dropping back as if the O-line doesn’t exist? If it wasn’t EVERY SINGLE GAME this year it would be one thing, but to roll the same offensive line back out each week is playing Russian roulette with a Dream scenario of a Star QB on a rookie deal..
There is NO EXCUSE for the offensive line, there are absolutely no excuses for the play calling, with mixon out you saw Bobby saying “if we could only run the ball,” “we have to set up the run game to establish the pass “ Blah blah blah …. Then you get mixon back running wild & yet CJ Needs a 27 step drop To have a chance.. When you look at Bobby S, when you hear him speak, does anyone feel like that guy is sharp — He’s really playing 3D chess.. or Does it seem like he’s in WAY over his head & Floundering..??
Sorry for my 4 message rant here but football is supposed to be entertaining, Between baseball & football this year I feel like I should take up smoking cigarettes or something, it would probably be better for my health cuz this is becoming unbearable/unwatchable.. is JUST ONE Well-played game this season too much to ask? Just a glimpse of what we’re capable of so I can cling to the hope throughout this suffering..
Im really sick of people comparing a QB to Pat Mahomes…..Mahomes has had the luxury of Andy Reid and bogus biased questionable officiating….we just watch Josh Allen 3 weeks ago look atrocious vs Houston…and Lamar Jackson cant never win the big game……
0 interceptions with all that pressure. Even veteran quarterbacks would have 1 or 2. He probably took 2 extra sacks instead of forcing it and maybe interception. Give him an extra second or two and we win
This sounds like a Texan's based podcast so I get the bias but CJ Stroud had one good season and we're talking about him being an elite quarterback. Let's give it a few seasons before we crown him king. Of course he's affected by his poor line play and injuries. All QBs are reliant on these things. Even Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc. So I agree with you there. Mahomes is not playing good at all but he has equity built up.
Stroud gets so many excuses, bad o line performance or hurt wideouts but purdy doesn't, it's pretty pathetic if you ask me. Purdy has to play perfect to get an ounce of respect but other QBs get excuses, Colin has turned into a joke and shouldn't even have a platform.
Texans o line problems are due to o line coaches Chris and Yesser. They are coaching them wrong , not to the scheme and certainly not to what slowik wants or needs to do ,so aka results have been such . some students catch on faster than others kinda thing here. So it the teachers no the students.
I agree with Julian. To say any quarterback can overcome both WR injuries and a weak OL is asinine.

Injuries Brevin, Nico, Lassiter etc, etc
Have you noticed how Colin ignores Josh Allen Turnovers 😂
Bull sh** every body you bragging about got a o line that's not letting there qb get hit has soon as he snaps the ball

bad play calling and terrible o line play both ruined our offense.
Joe mixon was the reason … he’s carrying them. The o line is the problem. Texans need to address interior pass protection next to tonsil asap
Cj stroud sucks 😂
How about Brock Purdy if he doesn't have his weapons. Oh NO he's the worst QB .. lol.. stupid… really.

You say we needed Diggs, sorry don't agree.

CJ is a bust,watch!!! They already know how to shut him down,Texans will fail us again!!
Texans are not elite and now in mid season form with injuries I hardly doubt that this team will reach the ship.
I agree with that statement. Don’t do what you did with David Carr. He sucked. Everyone knew he sucked. He knew he sucked.
It’s the O Line Collin CowTURD

I mean no Collins or Diggs what do ppl expect? lol

Colin forgot what Tampa did to mahomes at the SB just a few years ago c’mon Colin

When did mahomes and lamar have a bad O line?
CJ had a patch worked o line all last season Colin just talks and doesn't know shit half the time.
Joe mixon is that guy without him sheesh
Stroud gets so many excuses, bad o line performance or hurt wideouts but purdy doesn't, it's pretty pathetic if you ask me. Purdy has to play perfect to get an ounce of respect but other QBs get excuses, Colin has turned into a joke and shouldn't even have a platform.
But the Texans just shut down Allen 3 weeks ago with a fully healthy O-line
It has nothing to do with CJ stroud
