Let's take a look at some of the highlights.
00:06
Start with the Texans.
00:07
Maybe the most optimistic team
00:10
there is right now in the AFC.
00:13
In your estimation, Casey, as we get ready for 2024,
00:16
what does success look like this season for Houston?
00:21
I've got a lot riding on Houston.
00:22
Like I mentioned, they were a massive surprise last year
00:25
to get all the way to the Divisional
00:26
and fall short to the Ravens should speak volumes.
00:29
You know, their rookie QB and CJ Stroud.
00:32
I mean, he's one of the few rookies
00:33
to break over 4,000 yards in his opening season.
00:36
His demeanor, his composure,
00:38
he was able to come in command and conduct the team.
00:40
And so just imagine the build off from that.
00:43
Not to mention is that this was an aggressive off season
00:46
for the Texans.
00:47
You don't get a guy like Stefan Diggs
00:49
to buy into your roster, to buy into being a Texan
00:52
if he doesn't see success in the near future.
00:55
And I think that that speaks volumes.
00:57
Also, you got Joe Mixon.
00:59
Texans didn't have much of a consistent run game last year.
01:01
So there's going to be a lot on Mixon
01:02
to kind of get that going and be successful in that asset.
01:06
So they found the right keys.
01:08
They found the right plugs
01:09
and they shaped their roster beautifully.
01:11
I mean, this is a team that could really sneak
01:13
into maybe a Super Bowl conversation.
01:15
No one bite my head off for that,
01:17
but it's a great looking roster.
01:19
Their defense showed up tremendously last year.
01:21
And then you get Hunter and you get these edge rushers
01:24
that are just going to add that much more pressure.
01:25
You've got guys that are going to protect Stroud
01:28
and you've got so much versatility
01:29
in that pass hedge group
01:31
that this is going to be one of the most exciting teams
01:33
to watch in my personal opinion.
01:36
If we take a look at that quarterback matchup
01:38
and also there is a lot of talent,
01:40
no doubt about it, C.J. Stroud and Caleb Williams.
01:43
You saw last year, C.J. Stroud, 4,100 yards passing,
01:46
23 touchdown passes, only five interceptions.
01:49
Peyton Manning, I think through close
01:50
to 30 interceptions his rookie year.
01:52
Are we going to have unfair expectations
01:54
on Caleb Williams compared to what C.J. Stroud
01:57
did last year?
01:58
And is that fair?
02:00
I think that there's already some unfair conversations
02:02
taking place, but you cannot compare the two.
02:04
C.J. Stroud is coming out of a system
02:06
that prepared him for pro style and more NFL pace.
02:09
Caleb Williams is going to have some adjustments.
02:11
He's not going to be able to run as high tempo,
02:13
even though the system's going to try to compliment him.
02:15
But I think this is kind of an apple and oranges thing.
02:18
What you want to look for out of Caleb Williams
02:20
is his leadership and his ability to adapt to the playbook
02:22
and let him take this one game at a time.
02:24
The buy-in is there.
02:26
Veteran players are backing him, loving him,
02:29
supporting him, and listening to him.
02:31
So I think that's a big start.
