Texans defender offers huge praise for DeMeco Ryans: 'Somebody that you’ll go out and die for'

This past Sunday afternoon, not long after the Houston Texans overcame a 19-point 4th quarter deficit to stun the Jacksonville Jaguars, I wrote a rapid reaction piece in which I doled out credit to various Texans who deserved praise for their efforts in the 36-29 win. After recognizing the on-field contributions of guys like Danielle Hunter, Davis Mills, Derek Stingley Jr. and others, I had this to say about head coach DeMeco Ryans: And hey, let's give credit to the coaching staff too... a disconnected team would've rolled over and ended up losing this game by four touchdowns. The Texans wouldn't go away, and that should at least partially be attributed to DeMeco Ryans and his crew. It turns out, I may have actually undersold Ryans' contributions to keeping the morale of this team high enough to withstand both a 3-5 start and a three score 4th quarter deficit. Because listening to Texans linebacker Henry To'oTo'o speak about DeMeco Ryans during a mid-week appearance on NFL Network's Good Morning Football mad
