Is C.J. Stroud now the presumptive starter for the Texans? SeanTPendergast thinks so.
The Texans finished up a weekend of padded practices in front of fans on Saturday night.Over the last few years, the Houston Texans have unfortunately conditioned their fan base to expect the worst. Things are getting better, but there is certainly some PTSD still left over from the 2020 through 2022 seasons.
There was the perpetual fear that the eventual long term had coach would be a Patriots tree guy. There was concern that the team wouldn't draft a quarterback in April, and once they did, the next concern was that C.J. Stroud would be on the bench for Week 1 in Baltimore. Well, after the two padded practices this past weekend, it appears that Texan fans can cross one mroe fear off the list.
C.J. Stroud was front and center, and appearing to be on the fast track to be the next face of the franchise this past weekend, with both practices occurring in front of suddenly rabid Texan fans, so there are plenty of witnesses to by four big Texans observations from over the weekend. Here we go:For the first half dozen or so practices, the split on reps with the first team offense was practically even, as was the verdict on who one each day at practice.
If there is a young Texans player who has double the support, it's Dell, the diminutive third round pick, who led the nation in receiving last season at the University of Houston. Dell has gotten plenty of work on special teams in the return game, and as a wide receiver, he's been getting rotated in with the first time. On Saturday, he was on the receiving end of multiple chunk plays in 11-on-11 drills, catching balls from both Stroud and Mills.
