Can you guess which AFCS team Jeremy Chua thinks is the top threat to dethrone the Texans in 2020? Read or view the full article. Hint: It ain’t the Jaguars!
Excerpt from the article: The AFC South turned out to be one of the most competitive divisions during the 2019 season. Even though the top seed Houston Texans only notched a 10-win record, the fourth-place Jacksonville Jaguars were not too far behind and grabbed six wins of their own. The margins between the teams were rather slim and every squad can eventually overtake their division rivals after a single offseason.
Studying Bruce Arians’ Impact Over Houston Texans Personnel

Excerpt from the article: The Houston Texans have put together an interesting core of players in the last two offseasons that have an interesting common denominator, Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals.
There must be something that Houston likes from Arians and his coaching staff since Houston have several former players that have ties to Arians’ coaching staff. O’Brien has taken a total of four running backs that came from Bruce Arians’ coaching tree.
So acquiring Hyde and Johnson wasn’t a surprise after Houston had shown interest in Arians and Kitchens’ running backs in the past when they brought in Andre Ellington towards the end of the 2017 season. Ellington wasn’t put in the best position to succeed with a short amount of time to learn the offense and Deshaun Watson already lost for the remainder of his rookie season due to an ACL injury.
