Five Good Texans Questions with Stampede Blue

Scott Barzilla of Battle Red Blog spoke with Chris Sheperd of Stampede Blue to preview the upcoming Week 3 matchup between the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts. Both division rivals enter the contest with 0-2 records after starting their seasons against challenging opponents. Sheperd discussed the Colts' defensive turnover following the departures of veteran leaders Zaire Franklin and Kenny Moore.

Sheperd noted that Indianapolis has integrated young players alongside free agents on defense, which has taken time to gel. Regarding player health, receiver Alec Pierce suffered an injury on Sunday night, while cornerback Sauce Gardner played through evident pain in the second half. Additionally, rookie safety AJ Halucy and rookie linebackers Bryce Boettcher and CJ Allen have taken on prominent defensive roles.
