David Montgomery, along with a revamped offensive line, can give Houston that much more effective ground attack. That would open up play-action, keep defenses honest, and allow Stroud the time and security to make those big pass plays he is capable of delivering.

STACKED’s take

Montgomery's revamped run game could unlock Stroud's passing game and playoff success.

Montgomery is expected to anchor a revamped Texans ground attack alongside an improved offensive line. The source argues that an effective run game will reduce defensive time on field, keep defenses fresher, open up play-action, and give C.J. Stroud better time and security for big pass plays. A stronger running game also helps in adverse weather conditions later in the season, when conditions limit QBs like Stroud. The source states Houston spent significantly to get this going, framing it as central to the team's offensive success.
