Revamped Offense

Stroud’s rookie experience, combined with his natural talent for pocket presence, decision-making, and accuracy, positions him for continued growth this season. Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik’s scheme, emphasizing timing and precision, is expected to benefit from Stroud’s development. The mentorship provided by Slowik, quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson, and veteran backup Case Keenum played a crucial role in Stroud’s successful first season. However, the team anticipates increased defensive scrutiny and will need to adjust accordingly.

To support Stroud’s progression, the Texans acquired wide receiver Stefon Diggs and running back Joe Mixon. Diggs, a six-time 100-catch receiver, is a weapon Stroud has yet to have. Just his addition makes Stroud’s passing yards and touchdowns projections shoot up.

Nico Collins emerged as a breakout star last season, recording 80 catches, 1,297 yards, and eight touchdowns. His ability to excel on slant routes and gain yards after the catch makes him a valuable asset. Rookie Tank Dell showcased explosive playmaking before an injury cut short his season. Tight end Dalton Schultz, re-signed by the team, provides a reliable target for Stroud, particularly on intermediate routes.

The acquisition of Joe Mixon aims to alleviate pressure on Stroud and complement the team’s zone-blocking scheme. Mixon’s combination of running and receiving abilities adds a dynamic element to the offense. He joins a backfield that includes Dameon Pierce and rookie Jawhar Jordan as the Texans strive to improve a rushing attack that has struggled to consistently surpass 100 yards per game. The Texans boosting their running game should open things up for Stroud in the air.
