All Buffalo Rumblings insights about David Montgomery

Newly acquired running back David Montgomery should add much-needed juice to Houston's rushing attack. If the Texans' offensive line can open holes for him and Trent Brown holds up in pass protection, Buffalo could face a long day; conversely, if Buffalo wins early-down battles against the poor protection unit, they could force Houston into a pass-happy game script.PositiveRoleSep 11, 2026
Montgomery is identified as the Texans' most important offensive addition for 2026; Scott Barzilla expects him to be more effective in the red zone than predecessor Woody Marks and to drive more first downs and time of possession, fitting Houston's ball-control offensive philosophy.NegativeRoleSep 1, 2026
Texans signed Montgomery in free agency as part of offseason run-game bolstering efforts alongside offensive line investments (Braden Smith, Keylan Rutledge). Montgomery joins a backfield that struggled significantly in 2025 (30th in rush EPA, 32nd in Success Rate, rookie Woody Marks at 3.6 YPC); his role is contingent on improved blocking, which is now compromised by Smith's IR placement.
