With the heat of their schedule on the horizon, the Texans are set take on Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers. Following the previous weeks and recalling the teams already seen, HC Demeco Ryans' believes the Packers may be the toughest team they've faced yet this season.

I should have warned if Sewan only cares about cold
hard Back to the Sean Salisbury Show on Sports Talk
seven ninety.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Big matchup this weekend for the Texans Packers playing really
good football. Jordan Love, he lit it up this past weekend.
Demico Ryans spoke about Jordan Love and this is what
he had to say about the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Going against Jordan Love this week will be the best
quarterback we've seen this year, so it'll be a really,
really tough matchup a really good team. Green Bay has
done a great job this year. It's just you know,
they're explosive on offense and they posed a lot of
challenges not only with Love but the guys he's getting
the ball to Dayda Reed has done a great job
(00:55):
of they've been They do a great job move him
all around where he's getting the ball in the backfield
or in the passing game. It's just an explosive offense
and run the ball well with Jacob's just well coached team.
So we have our hands full just as all week.
But it'll be a really big time match up fours
and I know our guys are excited about him.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Jordan Love will be the best quarterback they faced all year.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I love jamakeo hyperbolic. Okay, they faced Josh Allen three
years from now, he may be the best quarterback they faced,
aside from his own guy on the practice field in
the building and Josh Allen. But let's make no mistake
about Jordan Loves, not Josh Allen yet. No, Jordan Love
is on a path to be really, really special, and
he's a really good player. But now, if you say
(01:40):
he's going to go better than nine to thirty in
the game, I probably believe that he'll probably play better.
He's a little more he'll he'll probably have a little
bit better game statistically. You hope he goes nine for thirty. Yeah,
but I would imagine in Green Bay he's going to
be fine and probably complete more than nine passes. I
would think Josh Allen had one of the worst games
of his career, but he's not a better player Josh
Allen in that order. You're saying, okay, for three years,
(02:02):
so you want I'm going to Allen first and Love
second of those two, but it's another it's another guy
that is a dangerous, dangerous, damn.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Good football player. Probably fits in second day you've played.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Let's see, they've gone against Anthony Richardson, Caleb Williams, Sam Darnold,
who's playing really good football. The Vikings are five and
oh you know we were talking about some of those
teams yesterday about who's really good in the league.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
We didn't even mention the Vikings. Now I did.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I came back and I said, of the five teams,
I said, but can we miss when the first time
I said, I said the Vikings at five and the
reason why they had a bye week last week they
kind of were out of side, out.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Of them and didn't talk about right and yet yet
before five and but before the bye week, see think look,
think about optics.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
They went in and played Green, I mean the Jets
in London and beat and beat him down. Donald didn't
have his best G fourteen to thirty, under fifty percent
for the first time. Yeah, they still won against the
Jets team that's talented, but they still want in The
defense is lighting it up, buddy, they're pressuring. Grenard is
having like a he's having a course for all pro.
Of course, they were playing really good foot Van Gagkle.
(03:04):
They're playing great football, But what's Brian Flores, Right, Brian Floyd,
he and Steve Spagnola right now are calling defense is
about as good as anyblaying in the league. So that
they went and had an average game and still won.
Their defense did have an average game. That's why they
won the game. And then all of a sudden and
then they have a bye week. So it was kind
of like, the Vikings aren't that good. Well, they're undefeated still,
(03:25):
and Sam Donald going into that game, you could have
said made the car argument he was the MVP in
the league. That one down game. Also we forget about Yeah,
let's not forget about that. We talked about Green Bay.
The Vikings are still in first place. Yeah, they're still
pretty good, right, and that it is a good team
that you know is instead of finding ways to lose,
final ways to win in an active defense. So and
they've played Donald, who did the MVP. Josh Allen may
(03:47):
very well be the MVP in the league right now
the way he's playing, and notwithstanding his game against the Texans,
which is a tribute to the Texans defense. And now
you're facing Jordan Love, you faced Anthony Richardson and who
was the other game they won?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, no, but Anthony Richardson for the Colts. They beat
they beat Caleb Williams and the Bears. Then they lost
to Sam darn On the Vikings, and they took down
Trevor Lawrence, Josh Allen, and Drake may Well.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Those are the quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And Trevor Lawrence is a fifty plus million dollar quarterback
playing like a five million dollar quarterback. And Caleb Williams
seems to get better every friggin his last two performances.
And Caleb Williams, they get players around him and they
utilize him. Right, Caleb Williams is figuring it out quickly. Yeah,
Jaydon Daniels is getting all the love, and rightfully so,
but he's on a better team.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Right now, guess who's second in the Rookie the Year
voting because we speak so they've played some pretty damn
good quarterbacks and this one's uh in that on that
list too, and a little closer to the top than
the bottom.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Jonathan Gernard's got four sacks in five games.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Jonathan Gernard's playing really good football. He made his way
last week into the play Defensive Player of the Year
odds I saw that, and now it's a wide open
race that Hutchinson's no longer playing because of his injury.
But yeah, it's they They got a challenge this week. Man,
the Packers oppose a major challenge, and they they utilize
(05:09):
the entire field. And guess what, we don't talk about
their defense. Their defense playing pretty good, pretty good football
as well. Yeah, this is gonna be a I'm thinking
about the test overall with all their players Minnesota offensively,
this is this may be a bigger test with all
the players you have to defend than Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Matter of fact, I know it is.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
They got more, They got more, more, uh more talent
on the field than Buffalo's offense. Notwithstanding Josh Allen, they do,
they're they're they're better all the way around. And they
got Josh Jacobs. Remember you know who you know they got.
They got a guy the same kind of guy we got.
They got it. They got a thumper man in Josh Jacobs.
Because if they get the lead and there start running
(05:51):
the football, that dude, that dude will punish you running
the football. So they've got one of those cats too.
I don't think he's hurt, right, I don't think he
got hurt last week. So Jacobs can, he can. He
gives you a little Joe Mixon when it comes to
downhill running after he makes that zone cut. But just
the fact that when they get north and south they
can run by, but also will run right.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Through your ass.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, it's uh Derrick Henry and the only one who
punishes people in the league.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
We got one and does Green Bay. Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Green It's crazy to think about how the running back
market shifted this past offseason. Aaron Jones up and removed
from there because Josh Jacobs comes in. It's just that,
and then he's running wild.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well, and think about it. Subtraction and addition, the subtraction
of McCaffrey and Joe Mixon. Look what's happened to the
forty nine ers and and what happened to the Texans production.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
You add Joe Mixon back, look what happens?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Add the subtraction back when you get I assure you,
the first time McCaffrey gets back in the lineup, people
are gonna say, oh, here here goes with the forty
nine ers. And then you add Jacobs raider to the Packers,
Look what happens. They're better. Aaron Jones goes, he gives
the Vikings a threat. Look around the league. When we've
Dee Derek Henry has immediately made them as big a
(07:03):
threat as there is in the AFC right now. And
so you look at we devalue the running back right now,
we may be at the this may be the year
of the running back. The way that they're producing and
what you're doing, what you're not doing without them.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And look at the passing numbers throughout all the league
for quarterbacks, they're down tremendously.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
People are leaning on the running backs.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
So all that devalue and we're not going to pay
running backs people are starting. You see what happens when
you don't have that guy, yeah, and then you see
what happens when you do.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Let's let's look at that because I think that's an
interesting point, and especially how concerns the Texans with their
running back. Obviously, we saw the the ability of Joe
Mixon last week coming back off of injury and what
he does with this offense for the Texans. So let's
look at the running back yardage compared to the throwing
numbers in the NFL. That's next right here on Sports
Talk seven ninety
