Smith: Nick Caserio investing in Dameon Pierce
Brett Coomer/Staff photographer, who was supposed to be their Week 1 starter when training camp began.
So what’s that tell you as September begins and Houston’s NFL team prepares for the start of another long season?Did Caserio admit that Wednesday inside NRG Stadium?The fast-talking, tight-lipped GM used a ton of words to let everyone know that rookies are rookies — even when the rebuilding Texans possess a promising 2022 class — the preseason is the preseason, and Indianapolis kicked his team’s butt when it mattered last year.
Only Pierce has been elevated, then elevated again by a Texans team badly in need of new, recognizable names and young stars whom fans can buy into. But Caserio went out of his way to play it straight while discussing Pierce, and the no-fluff GM still praised the rookie RB who could be the offensive key to the Texans’ season.
