This weekend, C.J. Stroud became the second rookie quarterback in franchise history to start an opener and first since David Carr in Houston’s first game in 2002.
There was cause for concern entering this game after injuries decimated Houston’s line during training camp. The Texans had star Laremy Tunsil at left tackle, but the rest of the group was new on Sunday.
One of the sacks resulted in Houston’s only turnover Sunday when Stroud was leveled by David Ojabo and lost the ball in the fourth quarter. Stroud understands that his linemen are trying their best to protect him and delivered a message to them Sunday. “We are relentless,” rookie defensive end Will Anderson Jr. said. “We were causing pressure all game up front. We were rushing together. We were trying to get each guy to do his job. We kept talking about keep rushing, keep rushing no matter what.”As noted above, the offensive line was the team’s biggest problem in Week 1. After already dealing with multiple injuries to the group, the unit took another blow Sunday when right tackle George Fant sustained a shoulder injury late.
