Did Ryans hire the entire 49ers training staff? That team has a SB caliber roster every year but two of three years injuries end their season by week 3. Rather not bring that here.
With the Ravens interior defensive linemen, I don't think the Texans have a shot at running the ball against them. They better be able to take advantage of the Ravens secondary...not like its bad either. Texans not going to score much this game.

Texans safety Jimmie Ward remains out with a hip injury. DeMeco Ryans said safety is one of their deepest position groups this season. Jimmie Ward not practicing again today with his hip injury. DeMeco Ryans said he’s “day to day,” but it’s becoming more unlikely he’ll play the later in the week it gets. Texans wide receiver John Metchie and linebacker Blake Cashman are both not practicing again with hamstring injuries
Fan hope outcome: Texans 24 - Ravens 23 Realistic result: Ravens 27 - Texans 17 Keys for us... - Contain Lamar and force mistakes... put pressure on new offense and hold ground on running game/ - Sustained drives to eat up clock and put points on the board... running game and short passing game has to be on point. - Win +/- for turnovers... CJ has to take care of the ball and our defense needs some big plays--hoping Mr. Anderson shows us some stuff! - Can our special teams do something special to make a difference in the game? Calling on Tankster to do the deed.
Ravens forfeit due to engine problems on their plane. Texans line practiced against an absent defense.
I would be very happy with a one possession game. Especially if we win of course. The person I'm watching the most Sunday will not be CJ Stroud...but Will Anderson. Hoping he starts his career off with a sack.
My prediction is Ravens 24-10 Texans, this is still a process, and is the first game, for the rookie QB and for a rookie head coach, its going to be about a learning process, and with injuries in the O Line is not going to be good. Im going to be more focus on the defensive part how Stingley improves now that he is playing man to man, instead of zone coverage, and Will Anderson and the defensive front vs an elusive QB like Lamar Jackson.
I'm just going to watch the game to see development and enjoy it, having no winning expectations for this game. Whether the Texans decides to run the ball the majority of the game or pass. Either way, I get to see Pierce and/or Stroud working. I just hope the Oline holds up.
Agreed. For me it’s not about whether we lose, but how we lose. I just don’t want complete breakdowns on defense, dumb turnovers, etc. play clean football, let the wins come when they do.
