Christian Kirk OUT: The Texans’ Slot Problem? Caley’s Adjustment + The “What If They WIN?”Plot Twist

from Locked On Texans - Daily Podcast On The Houston Texans · host Locked On Podcast Network

The Houston Texans just took a MAJOR hit — Christian Kirk is OUT, and now this offense enters Monday night with its most reliable slot weapon on the shelf. So the question is simple… 👉 Can the Texans survive without their true slot WR? In today’s episode of Locked On Texans, we break down exactly what Houston is missing without Kirk: 💥 A high-IQ receiver who understands the nuances and spacing of the offense 💥 The team’s third most dependable target behind Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz 💥 A true slot presence who opens up big-play opportunities and keeps coverages honest With Kirk leading the team in slot snaps (even after missing two games!), Houston now has a decision to make: Braxton Berrios in a full-time slot role? Dalton Schultz inside more? Or is this the week rookie Jaylin Noel finally gets his breakout moment? 👀 PLUS — don’t overlook special teams. Frank Ross has Houston winning the field-position battle all year long, and that could be a hidden weapon Monday night. We close with final predictions… and yes, I don’t think Houston will win — BUT what if they DO?
