HOUSTON -- Inside the Houston Texans' meeting room last week, a debate broke out as the offense was preparing for the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik was discussing a pass play and how he wanted the receivers to run routes against the Colts' Cover 3 look. Receiver Stefon Diggs spoke up, saying he thought the routes should be shorter.
After a few minutes of back-and-forth between coaches and players, everyone turned around and looked at quarterback C.J. Stroud for the final say. When Slowik asked him, he sided with the receivers.
