What will a Texans offense without Deshaun Watson look like?
At this point, not even the Infinity Gauntlet could undo the mess surrounding quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans. Even if Watson werent adamant with his trade request, the sexual assault allegations from 22 women rolled into one lawsuit clouds his fifth NFL season. The first-team quarterback for the Houston Texans during their organized team activities has been former 2015 Pro Bowler Tyrod Taylor. The 31-year-old spoke to Houston reporters on a Zoom call on June 3 about what the Texans offense will look like in 2021 given the new components. This offense allows for sure the quarterback, myself, to get the ball out of hands fast, Taylor said. Were the general. We run the show. Everything runs through us, but more importantly, we have playmakers at the receiver position, tight end position and as well at the running back position. Its my job to get the ball to those guys.  Just by shear numbers the Texans should be able to find a running back or two who can carry the load. Among the seven running backs on the roster, the Texans have Pro Bowlers David Johnson, Mark Ingram, and Phillip Lindsay. At receiver, the Texans have Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, and third-round pick Nico Collins. Tight end features pass-catchers and yards-after-catch specialists in Pharaoh Brown and Jordan Akins. Although the Texans are on their fourth full-time coach in team history with David Culley, Tim Kelly remains as the offensive coordinator for the third consecutive season, providing some continuity in philosophy. I think we have a lot of great concepts that allow those guys to play free and to get open and to get the ball, said Taylor. The more efficiently we do that, the better off we are on offense and as far as putting up points.  The Texans finished with 384 points scored last season, the 18th-most in the NFL. That was with Watson, and only resulted in four wins.
