About this episode

DJ Bien-Aimé discusses the Houston Texans' season, C.J. Stroud's potential, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson's tenure with the team.

ESPN Texans reporter DJ Bien-Aimé joined the show to look back on Houston's 2025 season, including why he believes the Texans were capable of winning the Super Bowl had they gotten past the Patriots in the Divisional Round. We also discussed his expectations for the offense entering 2026, why he believes C.J. Stroud is poised for a bounce-back season, and why he still views the Texans as a legitimate Super Bowl contender despite the changes made this offseason. DJ also revisited C.J. Gardner-Johnson's brief tenure in Houston following the safety's recent comments disputing previous reports surrounding his release. We discussed his perspective on Gardner-Johnson's time with the Texans, how the situation unfolded, and the context behind the reports that surfaced during and after his release. Plus, DJ shared what he'll be watching most as training camp approaches, the biggest position battles to follow, and talked about spending part of his offseason working with high school football players, helping train athletes in speed and performance.
