HOUSTON -- Despite success for the Houston Texans defense under coach DeMeco Ryans, the third-year coach says the unit is back to square one -- stating that last season was just that, last season.
"To me, every year I start over," Ryans said. "So the previous two years, whatever that looks like, it doesn't matter to me, because every year we have to reinvent ourselves. We have to create and mold and grow to see what the 2025 Texans will look like. Just because the defense has been successful in the past -- they've done a good job -- that doesn't just guarantee success today."
