John McClain: Texans need Davis Mills to produce for an entire game to have any chance in Denver

John McClain September 15, 2022

In Davis Mills’ evolution as an NFL starting quarterback, the next hurdle he must clear is playing consistently for an entire game and not for two quarters, as was the case in the Texans’ 20-20 tie with Indianapolis. The Texans are 10-point underdogs at Denver. If they’re going to beat the spread or pull the […]Read More

John McClain: It’s time to end the Rex Burkhead experience and get Pierce the ball

John McClain September 14, 2022

The Texans’ head-scratching fascination with running back Rex Burkhead has got to stop. And it has to stop Sunday when they play at Denver. One game into Lovie Smith’s first season as coach, the offense is experiencing déjà vu in the form of a pathetic running game that generated only 77 yards and 2.8 a […]Read More

John McClain September 8, 2022

When Lovie Smith was hired last year as the Texans’ associate head coach/defensive coordinator, he knew there was a good chance he wouldn’t get another opportunity to become a head coach in the NFL. Smith knew the odds were against him becoming the first Black coach to become a head coach with three NFL organizations. […]Read More

John McClain: With Pierce, Texans could be off and running

John McClain September 7, 2022

If rookie Dameon Pierce doesn’t produce on a consistent basis the way the coaches believe he’s capable, the Texans are destined to have one of the NFL’s worst running games for a third consecutive season.
