Thursday Night Preseason Games

You can feel the happy feet. Yeah it’s his first action but that team did him NO favors. Solid tackles and nothing in way of wr or interior line. Should’ve kept their 12 pick and taken JSN with Stroud. I love Anderson but that was such a mistake I feel like.

[NAS]

That processing stuff is important. NFL game seems way too fast for him right now

Stroud not playing with the O Line starters but yikes he doesn't look like he belongs like he did at OSU

I would hope coach isn't stupid enough to do this. play em all or none. just need 1-2 series.

Unreal people were praising the Texans for that. One of the dumbest trades I can remember… even if Will Anderson becomes a pro bowler you have to protect your rookie QB first

Stroud has always been seen as someone who would need a year or two to figure it out. I don’t expect him to be a stud this season. 

He has the arm talent, but I think you are right. The transition from the OSU offense to a below average Houston offense will take time…

[Jackie Lee]

He's getting a lotta practice rolling out of the pocket to avoid sacks, looks like that awareness he's worked on. Chemistry with receivers seems like a question mark

[Captain Morgan]

remember the Texans earned the secon pick in the draft...if Withers had coached from day one last year we probably would have won the division.

We're in a lot better shaped than Houston....particularly on OL

[CRA]

Not sure this means Stroud isn’t ready.  Cam Newton looked not ready for the NFL his first preseason game and then rewrote the rookie record book.   

it’s fast, new, and vanilla.  nonstarters around them compound it all.  Never the best setup for any rookie.  Gameplans matter for rookies.  And I won’t freak out if Bryce Young doesn’t look like Tom Brady on Saturday.

Bryce definitely came into a better situation.

Texans about to find out real soon why you need a Oline for a young QB.

 

Im so thankful we finally built an above average Oline. Bryce definitely has a better supporting cast than Stroud right now.

For some reason they aren’t playing all of their starting OL. Seems like an odd move when you are trying to develop your rookie QB…

The line was giving him no time prior to that pick, hope his nerves settle

 

 

Stop making excuses for him he’s played horribly its OK to say it

Texans just doing Texans things. Like seriously, why TF would you not only risk development, but injury throwing him out there with backups? That sounds like some Rhule type sh*t honestly.

Coach Demaco getting a steep learning curve at HC for the offense side of the ball. How's the Texans defense look?

Davis Mills looks 10X better than Stroud looked with the same group.
