The Houston Texans may be struggling to establish or define what their identity is, but if you watch enough Texans football and understand DeMeco Ryans' football upbringing, you can venture a guess as to what he wants his football team to do each and every week.
Ryans wants the Texans to play smash mouth football. He wants to dominate the time of possession, win in the trenches, establish themselves as the more physical of the two teams, and walk out of games with opponents feeling like they just lost a fist fight against a stronger and superior team.
