Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said he was pleased to see his players “come back refreshed” Monday.
“It was good to see and feel the energy from the guys and also feel the sense of urgency from all of us,” Ryans said. “That is what is needed at this time. Everybody is excited to be back on the grass practicing. We got our much-needed rest, and now it is time to get back to work, which we are excited about.”
With his players having practiced since training camp opened July 18, Ryans urged them to rest during their time off. Now he believes they're primed for a postseason push.
“Just mentally and physically to come back and make sure your heart is right, your mind is right, your body is right,” Ryans said of his message to the team. “We are ready to go finish out the season in a strong manner.”
“The biggest things for us, as I went back and watched, it’s us getting back to the basics and fundamentals of ball. And it’s us just executing on those simple things of football. It doesn’t change. At this time of the year, it’s not so much about the scheme. Everybody knows what everybody is doing. It’s about how do you execute it, and are you executing better than your opponent? Are you protecting the football? Are you taking the football away, putting yourself in favorable positions, playing complementary football? So as I go back and dissect it all, it’s just about us getting back to the basics and playing our brand of football and executing the right way.”

Please. They are going to get cratered and limp into the playoffs. They are NOT a good team.
Maybe after next year’s draft.
I’ve always felt like year 3 after a new QB is the time.
If they can’t beat the dolphins the rest probably doesn’t matter anyways
Things about to get *super toxic around here. At least for the next month.
Just win and nothing else matters.
