HR 1 – Have The Texans Done Everything For CJ? & Woody Marks’ Role

from In The Loop

ITL reacts to comments from Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke regarding whether the defense should ever ease up on players like Will Anderson Jr. during practice. The guys debate whether the Houston Texans have done everything possible to help C. J. Stroud succeed or if there's still one thing missing. Is Houston's dominant defense actually making life harder on Stroud and the offense during practice? In what world does Will Anderson create bad habits? ITL discusses whether the answer is simply for the offense to get better, or if there is a point where an elite defense can make practice reps counterproductive. The guys also debate whether ones-versus-ones work is truly the best way to develop the offense heading into a critical season. Later, the focus shifts to special teams after Texans special teams coordinator Frank Ross discussed the possibility of rookie running back Woody Marks contributing on special teams and what that could mean for his path to playing time. The hour wraps with today's QOTD: What are you "professional" at?
