How Nick Caley Has Adapted: The Texans’ Offense Finds Its Groove After a Rough Start

Been really encouraged by the strides Nick Caley has made as OC over the past few games.

It’s not just about playing weaker defenses, we started seeing some of these adjustments late in the Jacksonville game, and now they’re showing up more consistently: • More tempo after 1st downs • Real RPO structure giving Stroud options • Use of 6 OL (Blake Fisher) as a response to TE injuries • Heavy personnel & motion creating misdirection • Running on 2nd & long to stay on schedule • Creative 3rd down designs that aren’t just check-down screens • OL finally has continuity, and it’s showing in run efficiency and protection

Caley was brought in to adapt and adjust — and lately, that’s exactly what he’s doing.

I broke it all down with film clips and examples here if you want the deeper dive.

Seattle will be a big test but I’m encouraged. Where are you at with the offense?
