Backstory: I was late because I was in the locker room and
@CJ7STROUD
made sure I was able to ask a question. This means a lot to me because he could have left after the last question. Nothing but the upmost respect for C.J. Glad I have a front row seat to his success.

Stop playing with these people…He is definitely going to cheat…No man with a family says he is going somewhere for consecutive days and turning his phone off…What happens if there is an emergency? And even if he tells her what hotel he is in…He has two rooms…🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
The Tennessee Titans ownership made sure that they went all out with the Houston Oilers colors to taunt the Texans fans…But they couldn’t get the win and that was way more important to the Texans…Watch how excited Hannah McNair was after the 19-16 win.

“I kept looking at her,” Stroud said. “More times than not I don’t be finding her. She was so close I could hear her. She prays. Honestly, when I look up and I see her praying, it just gives me a sense of comfort, a sense of, like, my mama is praying for me. It’s got to go good.”
I asked Rockets head coach Stephen Silas about what it meant to see

“I could have sworn that those were ours,” said Texas DE Jonathan Greenard about the Titans were the Oilers throwback colors on Sunday. “They can wear them, they took an ‘L’ in them at the end of the day.”

Just one question…Could she do the same thing? If she can leave for two days without answering her phone then I would say ok…But ain’t no man who lives with his woman about to let her go two days without communication…Hell, the first hour we are thinking, “She with a dude”
What do you do after you lead your team to a comeback win and set the rookie record for most passing yards in a game…You make sure that the kid waiting in the hallway gets a picture with the game ball. Houston has a special player in Stroud.

“I really hope that next week when we play the Cardinals that y’all [home fans] pull up and we pack that thing [NRG Stadium] out,” said Texans QB C.J. Stroud after defeating the Bengals on Sunday.

This one-on-one battle between Wood and Sengun always stuck in the back of my mind. With the recent trade between the Rockets and Mavericks, I wonder if this day led to a changing of the guard.

Will Anderson Jr. was done with his interview and then came back and wanted to make sure the rest of the world knew how much he appreciated the Texans defensive lineman this season.

Just a question. Have you ever been in that position? I am truly asking because I have had to eulogize my late wife who passed away in my arms and I can have this conversation with you if you are truly seeking an answer.
“Thank you to the fans, we appreciate you all so much,” said Texans edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. about the home crowd on Sunday. “I think that is the loudest that it has been so far this year.”

“Me and C-Wood (Christian Wood) talk all the time off the court, that’s my big bro,” Rockets rookie guard Jalen Green said about the chemistry he has developed with Christian Wood.

Luka Doncic always credits Houston Rockets head coach Stephen Silas in his development…So does Steph…So does LeBron…I think the man knows a little about developing talent and he has a lot to work with in the upcoming season.

Say what you want about them in the past…But these two are doing everything they can to put a winning product on the field for Houston Texans fans this year…

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun on being back in Houston to get some work in at the Rockets practice facility:
“We are working with John Lucas, you know he’s crazy and his practices are crazy too.”

“Not at all,” said Clippers forward Paul George when I asked was he surprised by the triple-double performance of Rockets center Alperen Şengün. “I have been the biggest supporter of Alperen, so it doesn’t surprise me at all,”

“Let’s just go show love,” said Texans DE Will Anderson Jr. when I asked him how the rookies have changed the culture of the Texans off the field. “Whoever we walk by. The nutritionist, custodian...How can we make them feel loved by coming and working for the Texans?”
#Sarge
Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker and Houston Texans head coach Lovie Smith had a chance to catch up before the game. Both coached in Chicago at the same time and became good friends.

“Seeing a guy like 7 (C.J. Stroud), I would play for him any day,” said Texans DE Jonathan Greenard after the Texans lost their season opener to the Baltimore Ravens. “If he is my quarterback, I am playing for him any day because I have the utmost confidence in him.”
#Sarge
“What matters to our fans matters to us and to get that win, it mattered,” said Vice President of the Texans Foundation Hannah McNair about the victory over the Tennessee Titans who wore the Houston Oilers throwbacks.

I asked Rockets head coach Stephen Silas about guard Kevin Porter Jr. learning from the situation:
“If you really love somebody, you don’t take one instance and say that’s it…You love them and when stuff like this happens, you love them even more.”
#Rockets
@Kevinporterjr
Me: “Man you look good in that seat, pretty sure they can find a way for you to have it permanently if you give the Texans a hometown discount.”
Bucs WR Mike Evans (laughing): “I am going to weigh my options in free agency, but you never know.”
#Sarge
Here is what Texans QB C.J. Stroud said to DE Jonathan Greenard before the game winning drive:
“They had scored, gave us 46 seconds left, and he was walking off the field. I made him stop, made him look me in my eyes, and I said, ‘Hey, bro, I've got you.’”

One NFL executive at the Combine said that they don’t expect Houston to stay at 23 in this year’s NFL Draft, especially with how aggressive GM Nick Caserio was in the last draft:
“Caserio has something up his sleeve again.”

Houston Rockets SG Jalen Green:
“I feel like I am a lot more confident. I feel like no one can stop me or hold me and my teammates get me the ball.”

The Houston Rockets are all in on the progress of rookie Alperen Sengun. Last week he was working with Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon. This week he is getting low post defense advice from Chuck Hayes who was a strong defender in the post.

Astros first baseman Jon Singleton was asked by the media after the game if he knew both his swings were home runs when he hit them in consecutive at-bats.

“First and foremost, the free agents that Nick has signed, he’s cooking right now,” said Texans OL Laremy Tunsil about GM Nick Caserio. “He’s really cooking. He’s got some great players coming into the locker room to also contribute to the team and help them win.”

Hey everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to be concerned about me. I caught Covid (yes I am vaccinated) and it has really taken a toll on me. Hard to eat, barely can taste or smell and my breathing is off. Please be safe out there. Thank you for your prayers.

“That’s not my job, my job is to go out there and play,” said Texans rookie QB C.J. Stroud when I asked him about Houston being the only team in the league who has not named a Week 1 starter at QB.

“He is tall, but he isn’t that strong yet,”said Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun about playing against Spurs center Victor Wembanyama. “I was in his chest and put him under the rim.”

Talked to a former player who played for Lovie Smith…
“I would run through a brick wall for that man right now, but I would never play on a team he was the HC or DC.”
#Sarge
Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks issued a statement to opposing teams before the beginning of the season that is holding true during this four-game home winning streak:
“It’s not just a walk in the park anymore. It’s a challenge every time you come to Houston.”

“This is probably the hardest one I have ever been through with all the negative vibes from around the world, but all our fans here were great and it was great to do it at home,” said Astros manager Dusty Baker about winning the AL West this year.

Many believed it would be Jacksonville that would be upset by the success of the Texans last season, but actually it was the Tennessee Titans who were:
“Nothing upset the Titans management more than to watch Houston succeed,” said a league source at the combine.

#HearMeOut
David Culley and Lovie Smith knew what they signed up for and got paid very well for it…I ain’t about to use the narrative of “That’s how they do black coaches” in this situation. Both knew they were not long term and took the job anyway.

“I respect his game a lot,” said University of Texas RB Bijan Robinson about Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce. “If that is the case (drafted by the Texans) I am going to go in there and learn as much as I can behind him.”

The Rockets were down by 16 points (90-74) when this happened. They outscored the Hawks 54-32 afterwards. I guess the Hawks learned that life comes at you fast.

I will say it out loud…The Texans wanted Will Anderson Jr. just as bad as he wanted to be in Houston…He was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year…TWICE…The best conference in college football…The Texans did what they had to do to acquire that type of talent…

At the NFL Draft Combine I get to mix and mingle with other beat reporters…I was talking to one from N.Y. about the Barkley situation:
“He really likes the direction Houston is heading and may be willing to take less money to come there with the new structure.”
#Sarge
At the 2023 NFL Combine, I asked former University of Houston and current Houston Texans WR Tank Dell what it would mean to him to get drafted by the Texans:
“If they come get me it will be a blessing.”
They went and got him and the rest is history.
