Former Raiders Pro Bowl linebacker joined Texans this offseason, back to full health after labrum surgery for shoulder injury: ‘Body-wise, I feel amazing, actually’
Perryman qualifies as a true run-and-hit defender with a nasty streak. He could inject toughness into the Texans’ porous defense.The Texans struggled to stop the run last season and finished 3-13-1.“Hopefully, he’s not hitting anybody right now,” Ryans said. “It’s good to see him back out there. Knowing his track record and seeing him make a ton of plays in this league, being an All-Pro player, a Pro-Bowl player. I’m fired up to work with him. He’s been a pleasure to have, great energy.
And playing for a former Pro Bowl linebacker in Ryans, a former NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year with the Texans, brings a smile to Perryman’s face. “Having a linebacker as a head coach, you can tell by his energy and everything, like I told him I feel like he still wants to play, low-key,” Perryman said. “But just having that mindset, I mean it’s a defensive mindset and he’s a players’ coach, I can say that. And he’s been in the same seats that we’ve been in. Literally in the same seats we’ve been in. Just having a players’ coach in general, I feel like that’s great for the locker room and for the team itself.
For a defense that lacked pop last season, Perryman represents a potential cornerstone with his aggressive mentality “Yes, he’s proven that throughout hiscareer,” Texans linebackers coach Chris Kiffin said. “He’s a guy who can play at a high level and be an enforcer and run and hit. With him, it’s just durability and being healthy. When he’s healthy, he’s a really good football player.”
