  "account": "Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud addressed harsh comments made by former wide receiver Andre Johnson on the LGND TLK podcast on Wednesday. Johnson criticized Stroud's body language, stating that it was poor and could negatively impact the team. Despite the criticism following a tough home loss to the Buffalo Bills, Stroud remained unfazed. He told reporters that he respected Johnson as a person and appreciated his critiques, but he was focused on the upcoming game against the Bengals. Stroud is aware that to quell Johnson and other critics, he needs to prove his skills on the field, as he is still working on establishing his legacy with the team.",
