Something I had talked about throughout camp was that I didn’t get the Ed Ingram being over Juice Scruggs depth chart wise.
I do understand now why that is the case, I still think there is a path for Scruggs to be a good lineman but he struggles with power and has throughout his career so that is likely not going to play in this new offensive scheme under Caley.
Scruggs might be one of those guys who gets flipped at cutdown day to a more west coast style team that can do what he excels at.

The Texans offense will have a very different type of matchup than maybe we have seen in the past in LA.
- Chargers blitz on just 20.1% of dropbacks (fewest in the NFL)
- Chargers use zone coverage on 81.4% of their coverage dropbacks (4th highest)
Good test for Houston’s offense against a really good defense.
ITS TEXANS GAMEDAY 🤘🏻
The last time the Texans played the Chargers, but it’s just the SpongeBob-cast
Texans QB C.J. Stroud is having his best season in Total EPA (Passing + Rushing EPA) added by a wide margin in 2025.
2025 Total EPA Added: 51.5
2024 Total EPA Added: -44.1
2023 Total EPA Added: 38.1
Stroud’s rushing EPA is at 15.9 which is 13.1 points higher than any season previously.
Between Stroud’s improvements in pocket management & rushing the year 3 bounceback has been huge.
