With the offseason rolling on until we reach August following the start of preseason, the Texans are still and have been very active in the offseason looking to acquire as much depth as possible in order to give them the best shot at furthering their appearances in the postseason. Following some major off season extensions like Derek Stingley and Danielle Hunter, the organization continues to further their depth on the defensive side of things now extending Safety Jalen Pitre to an 3-year $39M contract extension. Sean and Dan break the news live on air and share their thoughts on what this means looking ahead of a pretty far but highly anticipated season set to come.

Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:00):
By the way to UH you know, mentioned the Astros
playing the night starting up a weekend series with the
Angels Rockets out on the West coast. Some breaking news
coming down a couple of minutes ago. Uh, the Texans
and Jalen Petrie agreeing to a contract extension.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I Uh, I love him as a football player. I
don't know him as here, but I do. I think
his I think that this is the best young secondary
in the in the NFL, and they haven't even learned
how to play yet. Stingley is getting paid like it
and he's best football still in front of him. Lassiter
proved already. It was almost as if, you know, as
(00:35):
a high pick, Lastitter comes in says, I want to
I got to keep up with the dude on the
other side.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Look what happens. Bullock is a steal in mid rounds.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Then you go out and get my guy, uh from
UH played New Orleans in Philadelphia last year, the safety
oh Gardner Gardner Johnson. And then you you also have Petrie,
who is going to be healthy and ready to go,
I'm telling you, And you've got to have six of
a minimum, right, You've got to have guys that can
cover in the slot, whether they're corners or safeties, but
(01:06):
hybrid where you can do both, where you don't have
to leave the field. Petrie gives you a guy who
can come down and play a box safety but also
can run around and and cover, but also hits everything
that moves. And I think he's gotten more disciplined about
you know, Johnny on the spot around the football, but
disciplined on you don't have to hit the knockout tackle
every time, right, just make the tackle. I think this
(01:28):
secondary is the best young secondary in the NFL. And
the fact of matter is, aside from Carter Johnson, just
go with those four I mentioned.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Dude, the KG veteran is a third year guy, a
third year guy, and you hadn't even mentioned Jimmy Ward.
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Oh, that's he's just an added bonus is one's been
in the league and who's familiar with with with Domico's doing.
But you think about it, two rookies, a third year
guy and a third year guy, You're you're your aging
veteran is a third year player. Both of those guys
got their extensions in Petrion Stingley as third year players,
(02:09):
and now you got these rookies who don't know even
how to play yet and they're damn good at it.
Wait till they actually learn it and then around the
league and stay healthy. Yeah, this is hints why with
that your edge rushers, what you're doing at linebacker, and
they're active and they're cut down on some penalties and
be smarter. That's why this draft needs to be focused
on the offensive side of the ball, at least at
the top to the offense. I would have thought a
(02:32):
year ago the offense was going to continue to stay
ahead of the defense. I mean, they were close, but
the explosiveness of the offense right and the truth the
matter is the defense is well ahead of the offense
right now because you're trying to make shift this new
offensive line. If they can get that fixed and add
another body and get tanked Dell down the road healthy
and Nico continues to do his thing.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I'm just telling you, if.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
The offense ever gets close to catching up like they
were as rookie as a Stroud's rookie year with the defense,
you have a team that we'll get by the divisional.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Round of the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And it's also I mean, you know, you look at
a team like the Chiefs, they seem like they're on
the back end of this thing, really keeping rolling the Bills.
I mean, I think the burden of proof is more
on the Bills than it is the Texans to be
able to prove that they can get over the hump.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It seems like Baltimore is the same way, right, Absolutely
it is.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
But I mean to your points, I mean, we just
saw it in the Super Bowl of what a just
absolutely suffocate you defense looks like then that's what the
Eagles were is they said, hey, mahomes, all that running
around stuff you do, you ain't doing it today because
we've got it come from the middle, and we got
it come from.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
The edge, and yeah, you want to try to escape
East and West. We got two edge rushers that are
good players in discipline. And you think about that. You
mentioned the Super Bowl and defense for Philadelphia. Now look
at Philadelphia's offense, the quarterbacks playing at a high level
and especially in big games, they and think, what one
or two players does you bring Barkley and who some
people that, well, is he ever going to make the
(03:56):
Giants even though he's good?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Is he going to make the Giants the Super Bowl? Well?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You bring him to a team that's that's loaded, and
he was the difference to home run hitting wide receivers.
With Davante and aj Brown good tight end, they're loaded.
And now that offense and defense, quite frankly, they can
both win you games on a regular basis. When the
Texans defense and offense come closer together as far as
(04:19):
the offense and aggressiveness and doing it right matches the defense,
this will be a legitimate, not a threat, a legitimate
February late January February threat as opposed to be in
an early January threat.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And hopefully that next round it's at NRG Stadium. You
heard Will Anderson Junior say that last year. So Texans
hoping to take that next step in twenty twenty five.
All right, coming up next a little bit of college football.
One of your good buddies, Steve Sarkisian. He's got some
really good advice that I hope that people will listen to.
That's next right here, Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2 (04:52):

your bucket list? Played the three million dollar cash scratch
