Ryans: Struggling Texans not making OC move
""We're pressing forward with everybody that we have," Ryans said a day after the Texans' 27-19 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. "We're collectively all in this together.""
"The Texans fired former offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik in January because of the struggles in 2024 when the unit averaged 21.9 points and averaged 320 yards per game. But this year the Texans' offense has gotten worse under new offensive coordinator Nick Caley."
"In 2025, Houston is averaging 21.2 points and 304 yards per game. If you remove the 44-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens when the Ravens were missing multiple All-Pro starters in linebacker Roquan Smith, defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, cornerback Marlon Humphrey and safety Kyle Hamilton, the offense is averaging 16 points per game."
"One big issue last season was pass protection as quarterback C.J. Stroud was sacked 52 times, second-most behind then-rookie Caleb Williams (68). Through seven weeks this season, Stroud is tied for ninth in sacks (15) and has been pressured the 13th most (74) even though he's only played in six games."
DeMeco Ryans has no plans to change the offensive coordinator despite offensive regression. The Texans' offense declined in 2025, averaging 21.2 points and 304 yards per game, dropping to 16 points per game when excluding a 44-10 win over a depleted Ravens team. The unit worsened under Nick Caley after the firing of Bobby Slowik following the 2024 season. Pass protection remains a major issue: C.J. Stroud has been sacked and pressured frequently, and his 2025 numbers (nine touchdowns, four interceptions, 91 passer rating) trail his 2023 rookie season.
