Some people are predicting the Houston Texans will be as bad or worse than they were in 2021.
Not Greg Cosell from NFL Films. Albeit the analyst, who joined 3HL on 104.5 “The Zone” [WGFX-FM] in Nashville, would not lay out a prediction for the Texans’ record, he did offer some optimism regarding the team.
“I actually think the Texans are going to be a better football team,” Cossel said. “First of all, Davis Mills really improved as the year went on, and I think he can be a solid NFL quarterback. And I think they made some meaningful draft picks, and I think they have some good players now. Again, like I said, I’m not going to speak about record, but I think Kenyon Green, who they drafted in the first round, will start and improve their O-line. I love John Metchie.”
Mills was the large reason for the optimism, particularly his ability to stand tall in the pocket while also having necessary ability. Cossel also praised Brandin Cooks.
Said Cossel: “He’s an efficient player who can make all of the throws, and I think he’s aggressive without being reckless. So, I’m looking for him to be a better player this year. And, believe it or not, Brandin Cooks, he has six 1,000-yard seasons in his eight years in the league. And I bet a lot of people don’t know that.”
