Texans HC DeMeco Ryans<\/a> on QB C.J. Stroud<\/a>: \u201cOur support has never changed for C.J. (Stroud). I support him. \u201cHe\u2019s part of the reason why we\u2019ve had the success we\u2019ve had with the Texans over the past three years, and he\u2019ll continue to lead us in that regard. He\u2019s the guy.\u201d (Jeremy Bergman<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Titans HC Robert Saleh said that switching from an odd to an even front could help DE Femi Oladejo flourish and reach his potential after being selected in the second round of the 2025 draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cA guy like Femi, you evaluate him two different ways,\u201d Saleh said, via the team\u2019s website. \u201cIn a 3-4 scheme, you evaluate him as a dropper, as a linebacker, as a pass rusher, all encompassing. When we were in San Francisco, we evaluated him as a guy with his hand (in the) ground, rushing the passer, which is what he\u2019ll do for us. He\u2019s got length, he\u2019s got violence, he plays fast. There will be a learning curve with the way we teach it, but we are going to get him moving forward every single snap and I do believe he has the talent and the drive to be able to maximize who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saleh added that Oladejo has all the physical talent needed to become successful and wants to see him work this off-season to reach his potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has all the talent in the world,\u201d Saleh said of Oladejo. \u201cHe has length, he has speed, he has pass rush ability, he plays with violence. He\u2019s a good football player, and for him it is just going to be transferring, getting your hand in the ground and going vertical every snap rather than having to think about coverages and all that. Obviously there is going to be a learning curve for him, even in that role, and there is going to be a lot of coaching and a lot of work on his part to get himself better every single day and I think he has the mindset and the physical ability to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texans HC DeMeco Ryans on QB C.J.
