The Houston Texans have been hard at work in organized team activities. Tuesday was their second open workout in front of the media.

Here are 11 observations from the workout.

  1. The defense won the day. This secondary is filthy. They lock down wide receivers at all levels. They make it tough to complete passes. When there is room, there usually isn’t much. The offense had constant wins in 7-on-7 last week. Tuesday, they fought for their infrequent successes. I can’t even imagine how difficult it is to try to drop back and make a downfield throw on this secondary. The offense had success with some shorter throws.

  2. C.J. Stroud didn’t look particularly good. The quarterback was off target on too
