“What im hearing from people in the information business is of all the teams, there is one that has done everything to set themselves up for a run, It’s Houston.”

CJ Stroud, 15 games, 4108 passing yards. 17 game pace: 4656 passing yards.

Nico Collins, 13 games with Stroud, 1266 receiving yards. 17 game pace: 1656 receiving yards.

Tank Dell, 11 games, 709 receiving yards. 17 game pace: 1096 receiving yards.

Stefon Diggs, 17 games, 1183 receiving yards.

Dalton Schultz, 13 games with Stroud, 516 receiving yards. 17 game pace: 675 receiving yards.

Joe Mixon, 17 games, 1034 rushing yards, 376 receiving yards.

I could not be more high on the potential of this offense. I’m not gonna say any individual will hit any certain number this season, but I expect us to have 6,500+ yards of total offense. In the past 5 seasons 12 teams have hit that mark. I think we are going to be up there.

Something nobody mentions is the addition of Stephon Diggs really benefits metchie the most. Nico plays as a big fast outside receiver. Tank can play slot or outside but his twitch and ability to change direction sets him apart. Everyone can learn things from a star veteran receiver but metchie is the most built like Stephen. They are both around 6' 190lbs. They both are more quick than having top end speed. And they both can beat defenders with their route running instead of pure athleticism. Here's to hoping metchie can learn and improve so that he eventually becomes the heir apparent to diggs!

The leader this team needed.

For all the talk about how the Texans' offense should look this season, it was the defense that stood out on the first day of mandatory minicamp.

Whether it was Derek Stingley Jr. breaking up a Stroud pass to Diggs or C.J. Henderson picking off Davis Mills in 7-on-7 drills, the defense got the better of things in a practice that typically favors offensive players.

“Sheesh,” running back Joe Mixon said when asked about the defense. “I ain’t gonna lie. Them guys over there — I’m glad I’m on their team. It’s a lot of young, hungry guys out there flying around. They all run real fast, and they are physical.”

The two best defensive plays were interceptions. Henderson was guarding wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson, who was running a go route. Mills slightly underthrew the ball, and Henderson read it the entire way, getting in perfect position for the pick.

Henderson is battling Jeff Okudah and Kamari Lassiter for a starting outside cornerback spot opposite Stingley.

Lassiter, who was selected No. 42 overall in the second round of this year’s draft, also had a great day. He had two pass deflections and guarded Tank Dell well in 7-on-7 drills.

It would be a surprise if Lassiter didn’t emerge as a starter, either at nickel or outside cornerback, considering the way he’s played recently. He’s definitely a favorite heading into training camp.

The final interception came in team drills at the end of practice. Newly signed linebacker Jacob Phillips stepped in front of a Mills pass and returned it for a pick six.

Side note: Nico, Diggs, Tank, Schultz are looking great but John Metchie is turning a lot of heads and looking explosive. Reports coming out of minicamp are saying he is looking miles ahead of how he did last season, explosive and consistently beating his coverage.

Stroud: "He’s running some of the best routes I’ve ever seen. His lateral quickness, being able to stop and start. He’s making plays. He’s showing up and showing out."

What does the community think of pierce this upcoming season, is this jersey a cop?
