Got a question about the Texans?
Life in general?
Drew Dougherty’s your guy.
He’s been with the Texans since 2009 and is chock full of meaningful, as well as generally useless, information. Fire away by clicking HERE.
Monty Lombardozzi: Dear Drew, Will we actually play Diontae Johnson at wide receiver now that the playoffs are starting?
DD: Yes, Monty. The Texans threw to him four times on Sunday in Nashville, and he wound up with two receptions for a total of 12 yards. He’ll likely get some more targets this Saturday, and Head Coach DeMeco Ryans said Johnson “has been a pleasure to work with” and was encouraged by what he saw from the Pro Bowl pass-catcher.
“I thought he handled himself really well,” Ryans said. “We will start to continue to feed him more to see how he can help us. The skillset, the talent is there it is just a matter of him integrating into our offense and making sure we put him in positions to where we can accentuate his talents because he is a talented player.”
Homer Castillo: Dear Drew, Watching the way Dameon Pierce ran on Sunday, will we use the 1-2 running back system to wear down defenses?
DD: Pierce’s performance in the win over the Titans was a reminder of his capabilities. He was one of the few bright spots in 2022, when he gained over 900 yards through 13 games. On Sunday in Nashville, he showed his power and speed off, and did a great job finding holes and wiggling through for gains.
Integrating him more with 1,000-yard rusher Joe Mixon would give the Texans an intriguing dynamic, and another thing to concern opposing defenses.
***Homer, congratulations: your question won you Texas Lottery Scratchoffs. Someone from the organization will soon be in contact with you.***
