[@michaelschrieber6461]

Love listening to Demeco. You can tell why his players love him. He is always even keel he never gets to far up or down. What you saw in the interview is the calming presence he exudes on the sideline for his team. Great leader.

[@champabay4746]

You can tell Coach Ryans is going to be great in this league. The vibes must be incredible down in Houston

[@King_BeeF]

The vibes been great. People coming in work on Mondays still buzzing from the wins. Oh and the Rockets look good too so yea great time to be a sports fan down here man

Simply put…the Texans now control their playoff destiny and could clinch the AFC South if they run the table…very very possible Demeco Ryans for NFL Coach of the Year…and CJ for MVP

[@Bnguyen276]

Beat Arizona this Sunday at home and the jaguars again next week or Texans win and jags lose this Sunday and the Texans are in control of the afc south.

[@johnnyirons222]

Idk about MVP but it’s possible but for sure Demeco will be up their for COTY

[@johnychrist2559]

​@@johnnyirons222if he even gets one vote his rookie season, he'll make history

[@txinterceptor8428]

I remember when DeMeco Ryans was drafted by the Texans at linebacker. He was an immediate impact and quickly became the Mike linebacker, and went on to have a great career. So glad Kyle Shanahan (who was the OC in Houston) mentored DeMeco and got him into coaching. Now it's 2023, and the Texans have something they've not had a long time: Hope.

[@SoulKingKurosaki]

It's been said but it bears repeating... Texans got a good future on their hands. Great coach, impressive QB, GM in Nick Caeserio (I miss him so much as a Pats fan)... They're trending up for the first time in a while. It's great to see cuz their fans needs this

[@daveruss9972]

@@jacobquintanilla4492 - He didn't want Stroud. That was forced on him by ownership. Demeco came here because of his history with the team and McNair. He's terrible at drafting and evaluating talent (see 21/22 drafts and moves). Often overpays in trades and drafts. He's lucked into a lot of this. He owes his career to Demeco and CJ for saving him.

[@widovv_296]

So happy for demeco man! Miss him as our DC but couldnt be happier to see his first year already seeing success as the head man

[@ericparker163]

Its been a phenomenal year. The coaching staff he put together has been amazing.

[@TahitianTreatSkeetJuiceJr]

Texans have had a nice bounce back after previous years of drama. The Texans defense should be talked about as well. They do what's needed to make it easier for the offense.

[@ChinoTejas]

the thing is we finally have a good QB but having a good QB and offense won’t matter when our defense at times can get cold. When our offense is cold our defense is hot and when our defense is cold our offense is hot but nevertheless the pieces are getting put together slowly after years of disappointment now its our time to actually build something special in houston and im very excited!

[@mikewallace9292]

Bs that denzel got suspended

if Houston makes the playoffs then DeMeco Ryans deserves COTY no questions asked.

Every single guest that comes on, is always relaxed. They don’t behave like a PR team is standing by and watching the guest is saying. This is what makes this show special. The realness from these guests is what people want

[@user-ti2me2br8g]

CJ Stroud is making Demeco Ryans' job easier than he has a right to. This only happens once in a blue moon. Noah Brown is like the Josh Dobbs of wide receivers.

[@sully6810]

🤡

[@ericparker163]

A franchise qb does have that impact but I can't take nothing away from DeMeco, he's got his guys playing hard every week. The timing of them both being rookies and being this good together really is a rare thing. McVey and Goff is maybe the only other time I can think of where it might have lined up the same kind of way.

[@gwakamoley]

Demeco has the defense outperforming expectations. They fly around the field and it’s clear that there’s been a culture shift on that side of the ball.

[@namesbeum3117]

@@gwakamoleyI mean we seen that with the 49ers defense when Ryan’s was there how they swarm around the ball so definitely Ryan’s impact on defense

[@tie_breaker]

When I saw interviews with Demeco and Nick Caserio, I'm thinking these guys know how to talk the talk and if half of what they're saying comes to fruition then it's going to be good in 3 years or so and definitely light at the end of the tunnel. Now you get Demeco to rub off on CJ and Will Anderson, then that aggressive offense and swarming defense is all about making plays, now all of sudden we have playmakers, all elevating their level of play. I haven't seen anything like this since Harbaugh took over the 49ers with his "Whose got it better than us...nobody". Demeco has taken that to the next level, as you can tell he wants to be on the field. This don't happen very often Texan fans, so sit back and enjoy!!!

[@cristianmunoz2480]

I'm not even a 9ers fan but I thought that was so cool what Harbaugh used to do with that chant

Here’s a conspiracy: The Texans floated the narrative to reporters covering the draft other league executives that Bryce was a better choice so they could have CJ slide to the #2 pick

[@danesterns11]

@@chetsenior7253 anybody named Chet must believe the fans & media don’t influence some teams.

[@mikelliteras397]

After watching the pro days, I’m surprised Carolina didn’t take CJ. Huard wanted him I believe. CJ was just so smooth and calm, never mind making the throws. Sometimes picking 2nd is better.

[@gwakamoley]

I’m a Texans fan, but I think Bryce will be fine. He’s shown flashes, but he’s playing with easily the worst O-line in the league, almost historically bad, and bottom of the league reciever talent. He’s going through a more “normal” rookie QB season.

[@Trutxfan]

The last segment needs more air time Pat. The NFL is stealing over a quarter of a million dollars from this guy for doing his job. Yes, he screwed up, but in what other job do you lose a fifth of your years salary for making a mistake.

[@rome_sports]

After 6 seasons as the 49ers LB coach and DC, I hated to see DeMeco leave. When Robert Saleh left to be the HC of the NYJ, the defence didn't miss a beat - in fact, and with adjustments, he took the defence to another level - which isn't an easy task. I was glad when he declined further interviews, withdrew his name as a possible HC candidate, and stayed on for the 2022 season … because not all opportunities in the NFL, are created equal. Call it fate or whatever you may, but that choice opened the door for the Texans to come calling, and bring DeMeco home to H-Town, where his pro career began. Life in the NFL offers no guarantees … however, I truly felt that given the chance -- and with patience from the GM/Owner -- he would turn the fortunes of the franchise around within 2.5 to 3 seasons. Seemingly, the Texans are a little ahead of the curve, due to hitting on their franchise QB in the draft. Lots of harsh words were spoken when the Texans won what appeared [at the time] to be a meaningless game - but right about now, the reality is this, that #2 pick is looking really really good. As of this post, the Texans sit in 2nd place in the AFCS, and hold the 7th-seed Playoff Berth - who would have thought it possible, including die-hard fans !? Their 8 remaining games will be interesting. No matter the outcome if I had a vote, it would go to DeMeco for the COTY Award 🤔

[@ryankester9387]

Demeco is my coach right.. I’m a huge fan right.. I’ve been a Texans fan since they’ve been a team… right… but goddamn he say right so many times right. But it’s ok.. it’s all right 👍
