Can Blake Fisher play well at any OL position? It sucks that Nick used a 2nd round pick on him. I'd like to move him but considering they haven't moved him indicates to me that he can only be used as a 6th lineman. So it seems that we need to re-sign Trent Brown (who played well!) and probably draft another OT. RT Blake Miller out of Clemson might be ideal and available in the 2nd or even 3rd round.
Nice non-hysterical take on the OL from someone who studies OL play and doesn’t bring any agenda to the table. LZ is one of the only people I pay attention to for Texans takes. Thanks for sharing.
FWIW, PFF had Texans OL ranked #31 after the 24' season. A year later PFF ranks our OL at #27. 27. Houston Texans Best lineup: LT Aireontae Ersery LG Tytus Howard C Jake Andrews RG Ed Ingram RT Trent Brown The Texans surprised many, after gutting their offensive line this offseason, by fielding one of the most efficient pass-blocking units in the league. Houston’s offensive line gave up 156 pressures, including 17 sacks, on 644 pass plays. As a result, the group posted an 86.6 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating, which ranked fifth in the NFL this season. Tytus Howard played probably the best football of his career in 2025. The former first-round pick started games at left guard, right guard and right tackle while posting a career-high 77.1 PFF pass-blocking grade. Best player: Ed Ingram Ingram had a career year in Houston, earning a 75.6 PFF run-blocking grade that ranked eighth among all guards.
