When I think back on all the years of Houston Texans fandom, lots of exciting moments come to mind. J.J. Watt’s playoff pick 6, Matt Schaub’s Bulls On Parade bootleg bombs to Andre Johnson. Arian Foster faking defenders out of their cleats again and again.
In that jumble of joy is one solid memory of DeMeco Ryans. I don’t recall what game it was, not 100% sure who it was against, although I seem to think it was the Indianapolis Colts. What I do remember is Ryans decleating an opponent, getting right back up and directing the rest of the defense to prepare for the hurry up offense, saying something to Brian Cushing, then crushing the running back on the very next play.
