This is huge: Rep. Senfronia Thompson says she has secured enough support to become the next Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives!
Presumptive-Speaker Thompson will be Texas' first Black Speaker, first female Speaker, and the first Democrat to lead the House since 2003.

Some don’t understand that not all “Spread” systems are meant to be crazy pass happy, they actually want to run the ball.
Think prime Tom Herman, Urban Meyer, Chip Kelly, etc etc.

Nick Caley, Cole Popovich and the Texans' rushing unit now has demonstrated on at least three separate occasions—Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants—that Houston legitimately can't run the football even if given massive advantages against vulnerable opponents.
It doesn't matter how heavily the hand favors Houston, they just can't do it.
▪️ In week 3 against the Colts, the Texans faced an Indy rush defense that just allowed a combined 354 total rushing yards (177 YPG) across weeks 1-2 (Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens).
▫️The Texans managed only 70 total yards on 3.3 YPC.
▪️ In week 4 against the Cowboys, the Texans faced a Dallas rush defense that allowed at least 160 yards in each of their first three games. (combined 539 yards, 179.7 YPG).
▫️ The Texans managed only 62 total yards on 3.3 YPC.
▪️ And now, yesterday against the Giants, the Texans faced a New York rush defense that allowed a combined 377 rushing yards (188.5 YPG) in the two games prior (New Orleans Saints, Washington Commanders)
▫️ The Texans managed only 84 total yards on 3.4 YPC.
Besides the chronic offensive line issues that have plagued Houston for the last 6 seasons under GM Nick Caserio, a lack of a consistent run game is the other indictment on the resource management of Caserio and co.
This entire offseason was built around physicality at the line of scrimmage and adding a legitimate second dimension on the ground. Instead, they've produced more of the same, and really worse when you consider the pomp and circumstance that went into propping up Caserio's moves in the offseason.
Truly an avoidable disaster, and one that could cost Caserio his job if the McNairs really got urgent enough about it.

#Texans offense not in sync today at all: C.J. Stroud 13 for 20, 121 yards, one touchdown.
Team has 174 yards of total offense today and 1 for 8 on third dow.

Interesting context to Giants DC Dennard Wilson’s comments about C.J. Stroud reading defenses better and being more decisive.
Wilson was Tennessee’s DC in 2024 and 2025, facing Stroud three times.
Stroud’s combined numbers in those matchups:
48/66 (72.7%)
530 yards
5 TD, 2 INT
108.8 passer rating
Worth noting Stroud played only briefly in one of those games.
Giants DC Dennard Wilson on C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense, particularly their improvement in recent weeks:
“When you look at Stroud, he’s very decisive right now on where he’s going. He’s reading the defense way better than he has in the past when, you know, I have a track record of going against him. Right now he knows where he’s going.”
“He’s playing with confidence.”
Interesting assessment from Wilson, who has firsthand experience facing Stroud from his time as the Titans’ DC in 2024 & 2025.
Wilson also praised Houston’s receiving corps, their YAC ability and how Stroud is putting them in position to make plays.
