About this episode
Did Houston Texans fans move past the David Montgomery trade a little too fast? 👀
On today’s Locked On Texans Podcast, we take a real look at what the expectations should actually be for Montgomery in the Texans offense in 2026 — and why comparing him to Joe Mixon’s production might be the wrong approach.
Montgomery can still be a major piece for Houston, but the impact might show up in a different way than fans expect. We break down what that role could look like and where Marks fits into the offensive plans moving forward.
Plus, there’s a major development Texans fans should be excited about:Tank Dell is steadily getting healthier and working his way back.
When Dell is on the field, C.J. Stroud is a better quarterback. It’s that simple. We discuss why Dell could become Houston’s slot weapon and intermediate security blanket, and how his presence could change the entire offense.
And finally, we answer the question Texans fans keep asking:
What does C.J. Stroud need to do to get back to the level of belief he had from the fanbase in 2023?
The answer might be simpler than you think.
