Caserio's Words Mean Little if His Results Change with 2025 Offensive Line
The Houston Texans must protect C.J. Stroud
The Houston Texans had one of the worst offensive lines in football last year. Plenty has changed since the season ended on the back of an eight-sack performance for the offensive line.
The offense is new. The offensive line coach was swapped out. The Pro Bowl left tackle was jettisoned for draft picks. Multiple disappointing guards have departed. Veteran options were added via free agency.
Did anything change in the process of building the offensive line?
“I don't think there is anything wholesale we feel like we have to do that much differently,” general manager Nick Caserio said in his pre-draft press conference when asked about changing their approach to constructing the offensive line.
It hasn’t been ignored. Caserio said they “look at everything” when assessing their past performances.
“If there is something we can improve and tweak and adjust, we'll look at it,” he said. “It's never one particular thing and factor. We are always open-minded and always trying to find ways to make things better.”
Seemingly little has been adjusted from a process that led to one of the worst offensive lines in football.
