Houston Texans coach David Culley is not afraid of bringing some energy and life to the practice field.
At Monday’s practice, Texans fans saw Culley give an energetic and enthusiastic speech to fan. Culley said the Texans “will be the kind of team you want us to be.”
It pumped onlookers and gave some fans some hope that this years team will be different from previous years and you should expect them to compete. Texans fans have never witnessed this kind of hype and energy from Bill O’Brien.
Culley’s energy is one of the things that attracted first-year general manager Nick Caserio.
“Every day you walk in the building, he’s the same guy regardless of what’s going on,” Caserio told reporters at the Texans’ charity golf classic on May 10. “That speaks to who he is. Honestly, it’s no different – we talked about this in the opening press conference – it’s no different now than however many years ago when I met him on the field at the combine, fast forward however many years later. So that consistency day-to-day has been a hallmark of his all his whole career and he’s done nothing to dissuade us from thinking otherwise.”
Culley is entering in his first season as coach and is really trying to make the best of an awkward situation in terms of the elephant in the room, Deshaun Watson. With all the allegations and reports of Watson requesting a trade, one has to really believe that the former Baltimore Ravens receivers coach is handling the entire situation the best he can and really is doing a decent job. When asked about Watson, Culley gives direct answers and is not shy about telling you the way it is.
The enthusiastic interviews are enjoyable to watch and it may make some current and former Texans fans start to think maybe Houston really did select the right guy for the job.
