The Houston Texans have a plan when it comes to the running back room.
The Houston Texans upgraded their receiver room tremendously this past offseason, but the running game shouldn't be forgotten either.
The Texans traded for Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon and added veteran Cam Akers in free agency at the start of training camp. The two of them coupled with Dameon Pierce should form a strong backfield in Houston, and head coach DeMeco Ryans has a plan on how to utilize them. "I think it will be week by week depending on who has the hot hand," Ryans said. "If the defense that week dictates that we throw the ball more, then we'll rely on throwing the football because we feel like we have a good core group there at receivers and tight end to be able to throw the ball around. When we need to run it, whenever it calls for that, I feel like Joe can do a great job of running the ball for us as well.
