Head Coach DeMeco Ryans joins Texans All Access after the bye to break down the Week 7 trip to Seattle.

The buildup against the Houston Texans has been nothing but love and respect from the San Francisco 49ers. That is because of DeMeco Ryans. He got his coaching

DeMeco Ryans had instant success as an NFL rookie in Houston. 49ers coaches Kyle Shanahan, Robert Saleh and Johnny Holland got a first-hand look.

"Our O-line did an outstanding job, again, for us to stay upright the entire game," Head Coach DeMeco Ryans said. "When it wasn't there, C.J. made great decisions of stepping up in the pocket, taking what was given,

The Houston Texans, after spending their past two games on the road against the Baltimore Ravens and the Seattle Seahawks, will finally be returning back home at NRG Stadium to kick off a three-game home stand in Week 8 vs. the San Francisco 49ers.

The Houston Texans have scored 20 points or fewer in four of six games. However, coach DeMeco Ryans said he has no plans to relieve offensive coordinator Nick Caley of his duties.

As the Texans host the 49ers Sunday, DeMeco Ryans credits mentor Kyle Shanahan and reflects on coaching lessons, communication and contrasts.

So why didn’t Texans coach DeMeco Ryans tell kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn to kick off out of bounds? Ryans said after the game that he did, but Fairbairn didn’t do it.

"The plan at the end of the game was kicking the ball out of bounds so we could utilize the two minute and then had a timeout," coach DeMeco Ryans said. "And we did not execute that. Again, just goes to the entire game. Frustrating that we're not executing the things that we're coached to do."

With every misfire and misstep on offense, the pressure is undoubtedly now seriously mounting on Texans embattled first-year offensive coordinator, Nick Caley. Of course, head coach DeMeco Ryans has shifted the blame upon his own shoulders. But that’s about as sound a long-term plan as the Texans have when they’re first and goal.
