How did ESPN view the Houston Texans' offseason moves that included fixing the run game and offensive line? Overall, underwhelming. Fresh off a 12-win season, the Texans should be the favorites to win the AFC South. Houston added several key pieces to the offensive line, including All-Pro Wyatt Teller from Cleveland and Georgia Tech's Keylan Ruteldge. It also bolstered its ground game with the addition of Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery. It shored up the interior of the defensive line with the addition of Kayden McDonald from Ohio State in the second round. So, what grade did Seth Walder give Houston's offense? A B-. The reasoning? The Montgomery trade. "I was much less enthused by the Montgomery trade, in which the Texans gave up fourth- and seventh-round picks (plus OL Juice Scruggs as a throw-in)," Walder wrote. "The team needed a running back to pair with Woody Marks, but considering Montgomery's age -- 29 is ancient in running back years -- this was an inefficient use of resources."In a sense, there are reasons to say the Texans might have overpaid for an aging running back who has been the lead back for three seasons with the Lions. When projecting how much time Montgomery has for truly impactful production in the backfield, one season might be the cap. But the Texans needed an upgrade with Joe Mixon's injury lingering. Last season, Houston averaged less than 4.0 yards per play for the fourth time in five years and struggled to find consistency in the red zone. Enter Montgomery, who averaged 4.3 yards per play last season and has been known for being a physical workhorse inside the 20. While an A seems far-fetched, espcially with the offensive inconsistencies, a B+ would have sufficed.To read the full list and Walder's thoughts on the Texans, click here.This article originally appeared on Texans Wire: Texans given underwhelming grade by ESPN for offseason moves

Folarin Balogun received a shocking red card in the 64th minute of the USA's round-of-32 matchup against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday night. Balogun was competing for the ball with center back Tarik Muharemovic, and Balogun stepped on the Bosnian defender's ankle while he was falling toward the ground. Brazilian referee Raphael Claus was sent to the screen next to the field after a VAR review, and he deemed the action by Balogun to be worthy of a red card. Because of the red card, Balogun will miss the United States' next match if it hangs on and beats Bosnia and Herzegovina. "I don't believe it's a good use of VAR," FOX referee analyst Mark Clattenburg said on the broadcast. "When you watch it in real time, you don't see the ankle twist and it's just that accident, as Balogun puts his foot down, he catches underneath his opponent's foot. "This is just an accident. It happens. You can see he's upset by it. This doesn't meet, for me, the criteria of a red card, and it certainly is going to change the course of the game." Balogun's red card was the 12th of this year's World Cup. All of them have been straight red cards. "This is not consistent with what I've seen from the rest of the tournament," Clattenburg said. "When this type of challenge comes, it's more of a step and action. And when it's step and action, it lacks force and intensity. "But the problem you've then got as Balogun puts his foot down, he catches the foot of the Bosnia and Herzegovina player, and that's what creates that movement down. "That means his ankle twists, and therefore, does he endanger the safety of his opponent? You could argue it does, but I think it's slightly unfair because it's more of a step and action, and it lacks force and intensity to create that red card." FOX's Jenny Taft noted on the broadcast that she was near Balogun's family close to the field. She said, "They were shocked and disappointed. His players were consoling him. He wasn't showing a lot of emotion." The USA responded very well after the red card, defending very well before midfielder Malik Tillman stepped up and buried a free kick from just outside the Bosnian 18-yard box to make it a 2-0 game. Balogun has been a breakout player at this World Cup for the United States, and he scored his third goal of the tournament in the first half. He also had one ruled out in the first half because he was offside. Balogun was born in New York but raised in London. He has scored 12 goals in 30 international appearances for the USA since making his debut in 2023. He plays his club soccer for AS Monaco in France's Ligue 1.
