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.
Rita Ravenell: Dear Drew, With Nick Caley as Offensive Coordinator, will the Texans be able to better protect the quarterback next season??
DD: Improving pass protection is a big priority for 2025, and really, for always.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud was sacked 52 times in 2024, which was tied for the 3rd-worst mark in the entire NFL last year. Only the Bears and Browns allowed more sacks, and the Texans were tied with the Seahawks with 54 sacks allowed as a team.
In the season-ending playoff loss at Kansas City, Stroud was sacked eight times, and hit a total of 14 times. In seven of the eight losses in the regular and postseason combined, Stroud was sacked at least four times. In the regular season loss at Kansas City, the Chiefs managed just two sacks in that game. But they hit him 11 times.
***Thanks for the question, Rita. It just won you Texas Lottery Scratchoff tickets. Someone from the organization will soon be in contact with you.***
Jim Holton: Dear Drew, What are the chances we re-sign Stefon Diggs for next year?
DD: We’ll see. His quarterback, though, would like to throw to Diggs next season.
“That’s my boy, I would love to have Stef back,” C.J. Stroud said on January 20. “I think we were just getting started. Like you see he was having so much fun and me and him were starting to build a rapport.”
Diggs injured his leg in a late October win over the Colts. Before the injury, he caught 47 passes for 496 yards and three touchdowns, and also ran for a 6-yard score. In the regular season, the Texans were 6-2 with Diggs in the lineup, and 4-5 without him.
He’s a free agent this offseason.
