The Houston Texans' defense has taken charge during training camp, clearly outpacing the offense in recent practices. Quarterback C.J. Stroud has faced challenges, leading to multiple interceptions and a significant number of sacks during team drills. Defensive players have reveled in their dominance, with safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson celebrating a pick-six and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair confronting Stroud after an interception.

The Texans' offense, newly coordinated by Nick Caley, is still finding its rhythm against a tough defensive unit, raising concerns about their effectiveness. Stroud emphasizes the need for patience, acknowledging that the offense may struggle against such formidable defensive play as they adapt to the new scheme.
