HOUSTON TEXANS

Playoffs: No Reason: Rookie quarterback

The Texans are still in the final stages (they hope) of a rebuild following their massive trade of Deshaun Watson last year. They have since turned that trade capital into quarterback C.J. Stroud and pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. in the 2023 NFL Draft, whom they hope to be their offensive and defensive cornerstones. But they just don’t have the total team talent yet. While their offense features promising young players, there will likely be a big adjustment period for Stroud, who goes from being surrounded by five-star skill position players and offensive linemen at Ohio State to a Texans team that is still finding its offensive identity beyond Dameon Pierce being a wrecking ball out of the backfield.

So reason is quarterback, but description is his weapons…….

A better reason would of been

Playoffs : No Reason : Rookie head coach with rookie offensive coordinator and quarterback.

The Texans are rebuilding the team in its new head coaches likeness, and while they have made some significant improvement in some personnel areas, the offense will be a work in progress until some of the weapons at stroud’s disposal prove themselves.
