DeMeco Ryans praises RB David Montgomery, Texans OL in season opener
Following the Houston Texans' season opening loss against the Buffalo Bills, head coach DeMeco Ryans praised David Montgomery and the offensive line.
Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans praised both running back David Montgomery and offensive line in their season opener loss to the Buffalo Bills. Montgomery's standout performance included 60 rushing yards and three touchdowns, showing significant improvement after the team's poor rushing offense last season. Ryans commended the offensive line, particularly in short-yardage situations, for effectively controlling the line of scrimmage and keeping the offense on the field.
He highlighted the strong partnership between Montgomery and Woody Marks at the running back position. Despite quarterback C.J. Stroud being sacked three times, including during the final drive, he still connected with Montgomery and Nico Collins for two touchdowns. Ryans expressed enthusiasm for Montgomery's ability to find the end zone and his physicality when needed.
The article concluded with the mention of Houston's upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals and the challenges the team may face, especially with Cincinnati's strong defense.
