Texans coach DeMeco Ryans has no plans to change offensive coordinator, despite the unit’s problems under Nick Caley.
HOUSTON — Despite the team’s offensive difficulties, Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans does not plan to change offensive coordinator.
“We move forward with everyone we have,” he declared. The Ryans one day after the defeat of the Texans 27-19 against the Seattle Seahawks. “We are all in this together.”
Los Texans they fired the ex offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik in January due to struggles in 2024, when the unit averaged 21.9 points and 320 yards per game. But this year, the offensive of the Texans has gotten worse with the new offensive coordinator Nick Caley.
In 2025, Houston he averages 21.2 points and 304 yards per game. If you remove the 44-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens, when the Ravens were without several All-Pro starters such as linebacker Roquan Smith, defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, cornerback Marlon Humphrey and safety Kyle Hamilton, the offense is averaging 16 points per game.
A big issue last season was pass protection. Quarterback CJ Stroud was sacked 52 times, second most behind only then-rookie Caleb Williams (68). Seven weeks into this season, Stroud is tied for ninth in sacks (15) and has had the 13th most pressures (74), despite having played in only six games.
Stroud’s numbers this season have yet to reach the levels of his rookie year in 2023, when he threw for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns and four interceptions, leading the league in touchdown-to-interception ratio, with a passer rating of 100. This season, he has nine touchdowns and four interceptions, with a passer rating of 91.
The ground attack of Houston has also regressed from an average of 117 yards per game (13th) to 106 yards per game, although its star running back, Joe Mixon, has yet to play this season due to an ankle injury.
The offensive problems of the Texans They could continue as the team hosts the San Francisco 49ers, seventh in points allowed per game (19.7). There is also the possibility that the star receiver of HoustonNico Collins, do not play as he is in the concussion protocol after hitting his head on the grass against the Seahawks. In the face of adversity, The Ryans assume responsibility without losing optimism.
“Everything starts with me,” he said. The Ryans. “If you want to point fingers, blame me. That’s my job, and ultimately, it’s my job to fix it. That’s the way it will be, but we’re going with what we’ve got and we all have to get better. We’ve got to coach them better. We’ve got to play better. We’ve got to execute better on game day. And look, as bad as it may seem, I tell the guys that at the end of the day we’re still one possession away from winning the game.”
