It's Never Been More Clear

It's never been more clear as following yesterday's shocking loss to the Giants, multiple members of Houston's organization have made bold statements regarding this team. What does this mean for Houston and how do they rebuild following the rough start? What's up, ladies and gentlemen? Welcome back to Texans Digest. I'm your host, as always, Isaac Estrada. Man, we got a lot we need to talk about today. When talking to the media, both Nick Casario and D'Amico Ryans had some bold statements to say. We're going to dive into all that, man, and also dissect the game just a little bit more because Houston Texans took a very rough loss this past Sunday. But man, right before we dive into all that, right before we dive into all that, about 90% of you guys still not subscribed. So if you're not already subscribed, do your boy a favor and hit that subscribe button. You're going to be getting daily updates here on Texans Digest. But regardless, I appreciate you for tuning into this video. So yesterday, man, yesterday we did take the L to the Giants, 27 to 21. It was a rough outing, man. It was a rough outing defensively, especially against the run, man. We couldn't stop a gust of wind. Against the run, we could not stop a gust of wind. Camp Scataboo went from having zero carries in last week's game to this game having 17 carries for 124 yards and a touchdown. And of course, that 42-yard carry in overtime that set Devin Singletary up for his carry that sealed the game. Rush defense has been absolutely abysmal this season. I was one of the defenders of the Houston Texans saying, hey, this defense isn't as bad as people are making it seem. This defense can still be top 10. I'm starting to really sway the other way now. And I apologize if I made it seem like Houston Texans defense were right there because I genuinely thought they were, but they're not. However, that is not what we're here to talk about today. We're here to talk about the bold statements made by D'Amico, Ryans, and Nick Casario. So, let's dive into all that, starting off with Nick Casario. Casario calls the Texans the worst tackling team in the NFL. GM puts defensive fundamentals on blast. So, let's dive right into it, man, because when talking to the media today, this is what Nick Casario had to say. Nick Casario called the Texans the worst tackling team in the NFL and says they give up way too many explosive plays. He's absolutely right. Immediately, we can see it in overtime. We can see it right off the bat. Example A, overtime. Cam Scadaboo, 42-yard carry, nothing around him. You see a bunch of red highlighters chasing him and Cam Scadaboo's off for the distance, man. I'm not sure why this defense has fallen flat on its face. We've made the excuses for them in the past. Obviously, D'Amico the Ryans recently took over for defensive play calling over the past few weeks. It obviously has not made that big of a difference. I don't know what's quite going on with this defense. I'm going to be completely honest with you. I don't understand what's going on. Will Anderson Jr. has gone two weeks without a sack. And of course, that's not anything insane to make an argument for. But at the same time, it's like, what's really going on? Obviously, Danielle Hunter got himself one. But I don't know what's going on with this defense. And because of that, I've been seeing a lot of people tell me the same thing. they don't know what's going on with the defense and the blame's been put on D'Amico Ryans the blame has been put on D'Amico Ryans and that's what we're going to dive into next so let's dive right into it D'Amico Ryans Texans morals are not great amid skid or morale excuse me so D'Amico Ryans again when talking to the media today had this to say D'Amico Ryans said he hopes that the team has the mindset to get back on track and that the team's morale is not great of course it's not great you start off two and five to the season on a season that was supposed to we had the number one ranked defense coming into the NFL this season. That, on top of the fact that we had Super Bowl aspirations, C.J. Stroud came into a year where he's saying, hey, I'm going to prove myself, and I'm going to prove that I'm worth $60-$70 million a year. This season, 2-5 start. D'Amico Ryans took over defensive play calling because the defense was that bad. C.J. Stroud has had a lot of criticism despite his hot start. This is the first game where we kind of saw C.J. Stroud really look a little bit rough. He really looked a little bit rough in this game. You can make the argument against Indianapolis I understand that one too but a lot of people are criticizing CJ as well I don't think that's his fault obviously Nick Haley deserves a handful of the blame as well we've seen that offensive playbook when he closes up CJ Stroud struggles so it is no issue to me I don't understand why that's shocking to some people that hey why are the why are the Houston Texans faltering so much it's or no excuse me I can understand why it's so shocking for people to understand that because we were expected to be one of the best teams man and now falling flat on our faces, something I'm going to ask you guys right now. What is the biggest issue for the Houston Texans right now? I got to leave it up to you guys. You guys know. I got to leave it up to you. Offense, or is it defense, or is it the coaching? Because which one of these three are the three biggest problems? Because a lot of what I'm seeing is the coaching. A lot of what I'm seeing is the coaching staff. I don't think D'Amico Ryans is going to get fired after this season. I know a lot of people are saying, time to get rid of D'Amico. I don't think he should get fired. After all that he's done for this team, bringing this team out of the dumps, I think that one bad season you let it slide flame me all you want in my opinion and I still think this team can do something great this season is starting to more and more not look like it JJ McCarthy came into his first game and I was one of the ones you guys can take a look back at my videos you can see the receipts I said hey this defense is gonna feast on JJ McCarthy they're gonna decimate JJ we didn't see any of that the guy on the right of your screen right here couldn't get a sack obviously Daniel Hunter got one but outside of that man defense defensive run game Caden McDonald didn't look that great as well. That's why we have him is to go against the run. He didn't look hot as well. Something we're going to talk about right before we dive into the last quote by Nick Casario regarding team changes is Woody Marks. I've had some people in the last video talk about me and say, hey, you're absolutely wrong about Woody Marks. Woody Marks, it's the offensive line. That offensive line is terrible. I understand that. What sets great running backs away from this league, what sets away the Derrick Henrys, the Christian McCaffreys, those guys at the top top of the NFL. What sets those guys apart? Kenneth Walker, obviously excluding his last game this past night. What sets them apart is despite their offensive line, if they're playing good or great, they're still able to make plays. We did not see that with Woody Marks. If you guys remember, 19 carries for 66 yards. He had that 11 yard pop in the fourth quarter. Other than that, nothing much. Something I'm going to bring up to you guys. Woody Marks, he's a good running back. I want to preface that. Woody Marks is a good running back. I don't think he's a bad running back I just whenever people on this team say hey he's that starting running back he's the guy of the future he's the guy who we can depend on for the next three to five years I don't see that at all I'm not seeing that he's a good solid running back he's a good first and second down back but I don't think he's that RB1 that can be top 10 with a good offensive line I'm sorry I just I'm not I just don't see it with Woody Marks and again he's a great player I'm so glad to have Woody Marks on this team if he wasn't on this team running wise we'd be screwed but that being said a lot of people have been saying that, hey, Woody Marks is the guy. I don't see it, and if we're going to blame the offensive line, I think a little bit of blame also has to go on Woody Marks. Let's recall it. Third quarter, third and one, Woody Marks up the middle, couldn't get anything. Next play was fourth and one. We had to rely on C.J. Stroud on a run play, on a scramble to get one yard and get the fourth down conversion. That's what we're having to rely on because there's a lot of times where I'm looking at Woody Marks, and I see the gaps, and he's not taking them. That's just me personally, though. I know a lot of people are going to say, you clearly don't watch the games. that is just what I'm seeing from Woody Marks so I'm not going to beat up Woody Marks too much but when people say he's the general he's this next running back I think hey keep him around he's a great solid running back a young guy could definitely learn underneath him go draft a running back in the future in the next in the next in the next upcoming draft go draft him in the third fourth round David Montgomery we can all agree he's clearly outside of that week one performance with the three touchdowns he's clearly hasn't done much this season Jawan Jordan was great. However, immediately gets placed on IR. I wouldn't depend on him too much to be the generational running back. But either way, man, we're going to dive into the next thing because Nick Casario was not done. Casario signals no major roster moves until next season. So we talked a lot about what needs to change, what needs to happen. Casario saying nothing. And that's a little bit disappointing as Houston Texans fans. We'll bring it up right here. Nick Casario closes the door on an outside help until the offseason. You put together the team you feel makes the most sense. Once the season starts, you figure out who plays more than less. We're not going to see significant change with personnel until the offseason. I get it. I get it. This is the team headed into this year. This is the team that we're like, hey, this is our ride or die. This is the team we're going to stay with. C.J. Stroud under center. We beefed up that offensive line. Woody Marks looked like he was going to take that next step. David Montgomery was going to help him out. Defense was number one in the league. We weren't worried about them at all. Right now, they're looking at they're looking like a bottom 10 defense in the league all those things mixed together he's saying right now we're not going to expect any changes I think some changes need to be made and I'm not sure what it is I'm not sure if it's trading some people out if it's looking at some coaching adjustments I'm not sure what it is but something has to change man something has to change with this team headed into the bye week I'm not the kind of guy who likes to dog on it too much but I just don't see it when he says hey nothing's gonna change this is the team we want moving forward. I'm not seeing it, man. I'm not seeing it at all. So something big has to happen with the Houston Texans because having a game like this where your defense gets shut out by a J.J. McCarthy-led New York Giants, that is not at all what we need to be seeing. Offense started off rough in the first quarter. They slowly started to get it going. Couldn't get anything going in the fourth. The offensive line didn't look great at all. Cam Scadaboo with a 42-yard rush followed by the Devin Singletary rush for the end zone. That's game. And I've seen a lot of people say it. I've seen a lot of Houston Texans channels say it, and I'm going to agree with them. I'm going to say something, and I'm going to agree with them. I don't think the Houston Texans deserve to win this game with how bad the defense played. At the end of the game, it's not like you can blame anybody else except yourselves. You can't blame anybody else for having, what was it? It was over a dozen penalties in the game. Correct me if I'm wrong, Chad. I want to say 14 penalties in this game. Undisciplined. Completely undisciplined. That's what I'm talking about. so it's going to come down to some major changes needed to be made Caserio says hey no changes are going to be made for the rest of the season so we will see what the Houston Texans decide to do either way this team needs a major change next game you're going against the 0-6 Chargers you lose that game season's over I'm going to just say it right now you lose that game and the season's over but only time is going to tell as always let me know what you guys think in the comments let me know if you guys think Houston Texans can do anything this season I've been seeing some people say hey we're not going to make the playoffs but let's play a little bit of spoiler so let me know what you guys think in the comments have a great day have a blessed day i will see you guys tomorrow
