Houston Texans’ Bobby Slowik ‘makes things easier’ ahead of second season

Bobby Slowik’s first season as the Houston Texans’ offensive coordinator has made him a highly sought after candidate for a head coaching job this offseason. He was at the top of almost every franchise’s list of targets. However, Slowik and the Texans reached a new deal that kept him for one more season.

A second year on the Texans sideline would not only give Slowik a chance to continue honing his skills as the leader of the offense, but it would also give each player some consistency when it comes to taking advantage of success of last season.

Tight end Dalton Schultz is excited to continue working with Slowik. During the first week of OTAs, Schultz noted that playing under Slowik would be easy, given that players better understand his verbiage and the logic of his training.

“The biggest change was making things easier for us,” Schultz said. “Removing some verbiage and creating new terms to make calls less wordy. For us, there are just a few things to remember and learn. But ultimately, it will help us get in and out faster . “This will be very useful to us. Bobby has already worked hard to identify where we can improve. “

In his first season as the Texans’ offensive tackle, Slowik significantly improved Houston’s offense. They finished the regular season ranked 12th in yards, averaging 342.4 and scoring 22.2 points.

However, what made Slowik a top coaching candidate was his work with rookie quarterback CJ Stroud. The 36-year-old offensive coordinator helped Stroud had one of the best seasons for a freshman quarterback.
