Texans vs. Saints Preseason Finale: How to Watch, Betting Odds
The New Orleans Saints will host the Houston Texans on Sunday night at the Superdome in the final preseason tilt for both squads and the last chance for players to show their stuff before roster cuts are due on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans indicated he still hasn't made a decision on a starting quarterback for the regular season. When asked if rookie C.J. Stroud had earned the job, Ryans was non-committal.
“In everybody’s case, we’ll see who earns what, and you’ll see our starters in Baltimore,” Ryans said of the team’s season opener Sept. 10 against the Ravens.
Stroud has started both preseason games and worked almost exclusively with the first team in training camp this offseason, so it appears he'll be the guy over Davis Mills. On Wednesday, Ryans said that Stroud and the rest of the starters will probably play about two series on Sunday night against the Saints.
Ryans was also specific about what he's looking for in the final preseason tilt this year. “Just consistent in everything, my approach, the way it spins out of my hand, the way I call plays,” he said. “I have a lot of things I want to hit, but that’s probably the main focus is being consistent. I definitely know that I can be a really good player in this league. I think I’ve shown flashes of that. It doesn’t matter until you do things consistently.”
