How Houston Texans did at the NFL Honors Ceremony.
Andre Johnson is in the Texans' Ring of Honor, but when will the call come from Canton?The Houston Texans are still at least a couple years away from being involved in discussions about deep runs into the postseason, and thus, perhaps even further away from being involved in game previews on Super Bowl weekend.
Hopefully, THOSE days are over, too. DeMeco Ryans appears to be the first head coaching hire since Bill O'Brien in 2014 to be hired for the long haul, and not sacrificed after one season. For now, we take pleasure in two things — hiring DeMeco Ryans and the Texans carrying at least a sliver of relevance at the annual NFL Honors show, where awards for the most recent season are handed out.
In particular, there were three unveilings on Thursday night that mattered to Texans fans — would Andre Johnson make the Hall of Fame class for 2023, would new head coach DeMeco Ryans win Assistant Coach of the Year, and would Dameon Pierce win Angry run of the Year for murdering seven Jacksonville Jaguars on one play in Week 5 of this past season?
Well, two out of three ain't bad, I guess. The only problem is the one honor the Texans probably really were hoping for was the one that was missed. Let's look at all three and how they played out, starting with the two bits of good news:In his second year on the job as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, Ryans was the overseer of the best defense in all of the NFL for the second straight season.
