Marc Vandermeer and John Harris react to the biggest Texans news day of the offseason so far as two trades are reported by the media before lunchtime on the Monday before legal tampering.

First, there are reports that Tytus Howard has been dealt to the Cleveland Browns for a fifth-round pick, followed by his signing of a three-year, $63 million extension with Cleveland. The guys acknowledge that Tytus, despite his versatility, never settled into a true position.

Then the guys break down the reports that Houston will land RB David Montgomery in a trade with the Lions.

The back half features John's Combine interview with Fran Duffy of All City Philly, who provides an expert-level draft deep dive tailored to Houston's needs. Duffy sells Garrett Nussmeier as the best non-Mendoza quarterback in the class despite knee concerns, identifies pass rush as the draft's deepest position (Keldric Falk, Arvell Reese, David Bailey, Ruben Bain Jr. as four of the top six players), and breaks down offensive line targets including Monroe Freeling, Caleb Lomu, and a Nigerian-born Arizona State tackle who didn't play high school football and learned to put on pads at junior college. Duffy and Harris geek out over center prospects Connor Liu (Auburn, torn ACL) and Logan Jones (Iowa, handpicked by Tyler Linderbaum as his successor), and Duffy offers a Felix Jones comparison for Jadarian Price while warning that Price won't last to the second round. The show closes with news of the Chiefs releasing Juwan Taylor and the Cowboys working to extend kicker Brandon Aubrey.

Greg Cosell breaks down C.J. Stroud, Cam Ward, Drake Maye and Fernando Mendoza from the Combine. Plus JP Shadrick on the Jags rivalry and AFC South outlook.

John Harris goes solo from Radio Row in Indianapolis for Combine Day 2, delivering two must-hear interviews. NFL Films' Greg Cosell provides his signature film-room analysis on C.J. Stroud, calling him a potential top-five ball thrower in the NFL but noting that "everything seems to be fast" mentally and he appears to be "inventing pressure" in the pocket over the last two seasons. Cosell raves about the Texans defense — declaring Calen Bullock the best post safety in the NFL and comparing his impact to what Earl Thomas meant to the Legion of Boom — while emphasizing that the interior defensive tackles (Tommy Togiai, Sheldon Rankins, Mario Edwards) were "overlooked all season long" despite dominating on film every week. He also breaks down Cam Ward's mechanical issues in Tennessee, Trevor Lawrence's rhythmic transformation under Liam Coen in Jacksonville, Drake Maye's playoff regression in New England, Fernando Mendoza's Jared Goff comparison as the projected number one pick, and why the Clint Kubiak system is the perfect marriage for Mendoza's skill set.

The second half features JP Shadrick, the voice of the Jacksonville Jaguars' media universe, who provides an insider's account of how the Jaguars' season turned after the 19-point collapse in Houston — specifically Tony Boselli's weekly refrain that "this is the most important game in the history of the franchise," which became both a meme and a genuine rallying cry. Shadrick details why Jacksonville was confident they could reach the Super Bowl before the Buffalo playoff loss, the impact of losing corners Jordan Lewis and Travis Hunter in the postseason, Travis Etienne's likely departure as a free agent, and the Jaguars' stadium renovation timeline (38,000-seat lower-bowl-only setup in 2026, relocation to Orlando in 2027, full reopening in 2028). The show closes with Combine workout previews, the announcement that Jacksonville will play two London games (Tottenham and Wembley), and Kirk Cousins' impending release from Atlanta.

Marc and John go live from Indianapolis with an extended Nick Caserio sit-down and Andrew Siciliano interview on Combine Day 1. CJ Stroud, free agency and more.

Marc Vandermeer and John Harris open Combine Week live from Radio Row in Indianapolis with two marquee interviews. First, an extended sit-down with Texans GM Nick Caserio that goes well beyond his earlier podium session — covering everything from the vest-vs-hoodie debate to his free agency preparation process, his mentorship philosophy with coveted staffers like James Lipford and Dino Vasso, and the non-negotiable traits for a Houston Texan ("If you're a defensive player especially, physicality and violence are non-negotiable"). Caserio reaffirms his confidence in C.J. Stroud, reveals the team improved dramatically at quarterback from 2024 to 2025 across nearly every statistical category, details how his pro scouting department — DJ, Steve Cargile, Nate Lipford, and Chris Blanco — has already built the free agent board by position, and explains the rapid-fire reality of legal tampering where "players are going to come off the board" the instant the window opens. In a lighter moment, Caserio reveals he'd choose the gauntlet drill if GMs had to compete at the Combine, and admits his Indianapolis dinner was Panera soup and salad.

The second guest is Andrew Siciliano, voice of the Cleveland Browns and the original NFL Network Red Zone host, who provides an entertaining AFC North breakdown. Siciliano shares the challenge of calling Myles Garrett's record-breaking sack in real time, reveals the Browns may go tackle-tackle with picks 6 and 24 to rebuild an offensive line where nearly every starter is a free agent, and discusses the Shedeur Sanders quarterback situation. He and the hosts debate training camp length, the inevitability of 18-game seasons with a 9:30 AM Eastern kickoff window for international games, and the UFL's new four-point rule for 60-plus yard field goals. The show closes with John's Combine workout predictions — Dylan Thedeman (Oregon safety) testing through the roof, Brandon Thompson (Mississippi State WR) as a speed demon, Jeremiah Love solidifying his top-8 status, and Arvell Reese (Ohio State LB) showcasing his freakish athleticism.

John Harris reveals 7 underrated Texans offseason priorities beyond O-line and RB, plus a Combine preview and Henry To'oTo'o joins Jonathan Joseph on No Audibles.

Marc Vandermeer counts down the top 5 Texans plays of 2025 with John Harris before the NFL Combine. From Mills' TD scramble to Rankins' scoop and score and more.

With the NFL Combine starting next week, Marc Vandermeer and John Harris put the 2025 season to rest once and for all by counting down Marc's Top 5 Plays and Moments of the year — complete with original radio calls, behind-the-scenes reactions, and details fans may have forgotten.

The show opens with raw, honest "post-seasonitis" therapy as both hosts admit this was the hardest Texans season to get over, even harder than 2012. Marc reveals that Bills reporter Sal Capaccio shared the same gut feeling at the Senior Bowl: "We should have been in Houston playing you guys." The countdown begins with an honorable mention (Davis Mills' clutch third-and-16 completion to Nico Collins at Tennessee that saved the winning streak), then moves through the Azeez Al-Shaair "hot potato pick" off Travis Kelce at Kansas City (#5), C.J. Stroud's 75-yard bomb to Jayden Higgins to open the Chargers game in LA (#4), Calen Bullock's fourth-down interception to seal the Buffalo win on Thursday Night Football (#3), Sheldon Rankins' scoop-and-score strip sack against the Steelers in the playoff opener (#2), and the number one moment — Davis Mills' 14-yard scrambling touchdown against Jacksonville that completed the 19-point comeback and ignited the 10-game winning streak.

Marc Vandermeer unveils his first complete mock draft for the Houston Texans with all eight selections (nine picks consolidated to eight via a seventh-round trade), and John Harris provides real-time scouting analysis and grade reactions on every pick. This is a pre-Combine, pre-free agency mock, with updates promised in the weeks ahead.

Marc and John rank the top Texans offseason stories, reveal C.J. Stroud's improved stats across the board, and react to Bill Barnwell's NFL trade proposals.
