An Abridged History Of The Houston Texans

The Houston Texans are the NFL's youngest team, and as such have the least amount of history of the 32. But even if that's true, that doesn't make them any less fascinating to the avid researcher.
This is the abridged history of the Houston Texans, a team on the rise with a rich history of football.

Edit: I screwed up, Vince Young never won the Heisman. Though Reggie Bush said Young declined to win it retroactively after it was taken from Reggie, which he appreciated.

[@KG-vn4uj]

It’s all good. VY should have won the Heisman that year.

[@rhyscruz]

As a Texans fan, the rest of the NFL doesn’t realize the Butterfly Effect that 2013 season has on the Texans to this day. In retrospect, it led our abhorrently delusional, old owner Bob Warden McNair to take the HORRIBLE approach of trying to copy the Patriots. And there was always problems with the roster due to poor management by Rick Smith (Although his 1sts were always AMAZING except Kevin Johnson) and Buttchin having so much influence on draftees. We were always pretenders under Watson due to bad coaching, bad culture (lack of embracing identity), bad o-line, bad secondary, mediocre rb play. And in the most Houston fashion, Chiefs game… In retrospect, those few years of darkness after that made us fans numb to pain. But Hannah McNair, Nick Caserio, Demeco, and Cj and co. have saved us. This sudden turnaround feels like 2015 Astros season. So next time you make fun of a Texans fan, just know we’re pretty numb to insults on our team, but we will come in and surprise you by making you a laughingstock on any given sunday with or without CJ. I’m looking at you Jags and Titans fans 😂

[@Hothrax]

its especially awesome when we beat the titans. those pretenders will never be what the oilers were except in one respect: losing. and i know the texans are more than happy to oblige.

[@RipliWitani]

Nah Bob was an awesome owner. Hating on him is whack. Casserio is from New England and he didn't leave until the Robert Kraft message scandal. So wanting NE staff members wasn't a bad idea.

[@mobn979]

I've been there from the very beginning when the franchise was asking fans for logo ideas. And I've been representing The Texans every day since. I've been to numerous home games and to every playoff game. No previous Texans team can compare to the team they have today. It's nice to see a cohesive team in Houston. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel in the shape of a Lombardi trophy.. Go Texans!!!

[@CivilZoology]

Awesome video for the short Texans history. Had the stats, footage, moments. Good stuff

[@willhoward3178]

Few suggestions: - Introduce the players as they are drafted/ joined the team instead of 3-4 years into career - slow down when going over additions/ loses - maybe add some clips of players or play callers talking - 19:20, you talk about the Hail Mary but showed it 5 seconds before I like the thumbnail! Best one yet.

[@brickwallblitz]

I appreciate the suggestions! The player stuff is me trying to do non linear storytelling. No. 1 picks I normally talk about right away as it makes more sense to. Always looking to get better with each history vid so I appreciate those offering suggestions to try and help me with that goal. And thanks for the thumbnail shoutout!

Shouts out to making this vid and breaking down what happened to the franchise I love! I became a fan in 2015 and was somewhat aware of the negatives but didn’t know ALL of it.

[@jjgarza]

In 2010 Schaub led the Texans to a 4TD comeback to force OT vs the Ravens.. then threw a pick 6 in his first pass attempt of OT. That was before his pick 6 skid officially started. In 2013 coach Kubiak had a heart attack jogging to the locker room at halftime during a primetime game and was replaced by Wade Phillips. This was during that 2-0, 0-14 season. And somewhere in Foster’s career in Houston he had an absolutely SICK back juke against the Ravens.

[@trapsquadd4347]

[@lockecole3726]

11:48 They lost like 8 games by 1 score that year and had some of the most horridly bad luck imaginable in their games. Injuries didn't help either. I still say that this squad was the best 2-14 team of all time.

@@kevinlindgren95 Been thinking of doing a video on him for quite some time, his luck getting to the playoffs was horrific.

[@nwj03a]

David Carr was a pretty good QB, he got hit so much because the Texans never protected him, and it shattered him. They took a huge risk/high reward gamble in the expansion draft trying to get boselli (sp?) and it failed. After him they just ignored OL help, the NFL even made a draft commercial mocking the Texans for ignoring OL. Carr could’ve been good, but Hopkins was and they traded him for a payday loan.

I’ve retired it for the time being, the NFL’s play by play interface for all-22 was terrible in recent years and it stopped being fun for me. However, I’ve heard the new interface they’re planning on releasing is even better than classic Gamepass, so there could be a chance I revive it!

[@poundmycake]

You cannot give the history of the Texans without mentioning the Andre was given money by other receivers to pay his fighting fines because the db played hands on/dirty in a way that injured wideouts. I'm sure damn near every nfl player gives some to charity, which is both good, but no way to run a society

The most shameful thing about the Texans is how they get no link with the old Oilers and that the 8th Wonder of the World, the AstroDome has sat next to the new generic stadium and has rotted away. Also wanna point out that David Carr got sacked so much cuz he would tap dance right into pass rushers, his Brother does the same thing.

There is NO reason O'Brien should not have been fired after that KC playoff game after being up 24-0. That was a complete embarassment. I had forgotten about the 30-0 loss to the Chiefs, but that was more about bad QB play and dumb ass play calls with JJ Watt in the line up. I mean....really?! BoB had been doing that all year.....EVERY Chief knew what was coming. I thought, there is no way they pass it to Watt...he is just a decoy this time...NOPE......NOPE!!!.......anyway. the future of the team is extremely bright and either rain or shine, i am a Texans fan.

[@gradystanley5812]

Jj watt is is better in every statistical category then Aaron Donald and missed more games doing it. His 2014 season was also better than lewrance Taylor’s 1986 mvp season and didn’t need to be on coke and roids to do it like LT. Watt had the best prime of any defensive player ever if he didn’t have injury problems he woulda been the best ever in general

[@kevj1349]

Bill obrian butt chin and Davis mills neck, man you went for the jugular 😂 the 2011-12 seasons were great and the getting Watson and being great again was hopeful.

@@SchmidtyProductions27 truth is they’re probably the worst secondary in the league, gets no pressure up the middle of the line. They got older on defense with their signings, offensive line still shaky minus tunsil and we haven’t seen stroud without kiddy gloves. Not to mention killing your team’s chemistry adding a dude like Diggs, 9-8 season loading

[@SchmidtyProductions27]

@@austandinglosking I gotta say, I completely disagree. While I wish we could have kept Greenard, the addition of Hunter in his prime will only help a defense that is starting to come to form. Plus, the OL was injured all last year, with them back plus the additions we made, I think the OL will do pretty good. I have full faith in Stroud but yea, it won’t be proven what kind of QB he is until the season is over. Plus, I don’t think Diggs will ruin team chemistry. He has incentives to do good this year since he is practically on a one year with the options and will want to prove his worth for free agency. I don’t think we are headed for 9-8, I think we have the potential to hang with the best

[@austandinglosking]

@@SchmidtyProductions27 I’m not mad at the optimism, I wouldn’t say hunter is in his “prime” he’s more on the tail end of that. O line will hold up barring injury but they added more depth pieces than actual starting talent imo, we can’t ignore that the secondary is going to have to rely on an injury prone stingley, Jeff okudah and cj Henderson with Desmond king playing slot 🤦🏾‍♂️ the offense is the driving force especially if they can make mixon and pierce a one two punch but I think it’ll be idiotic to try and spread it out to keep receivers like diggs happy.
