Episode Details

This one hits different.

Locked On Texans goes 1-on-1 with former Houston Texans offensive lineman Wade Smith for an exclusive conversation you won’t hear anywhere else. With the biggest game in franchise history looming, Wade breaks down why the 2025 Texans season has been the perfect setup for this moment.

We dive into:

How this Texans team has been battle-tested all season

The massive impact the offensive line can have on this game

Why the run game MUST continue to be the foundation

Who steps up as the X-factors without Nico Collins (👀 hint: they all come from the Cyclones)

Is Wade worried at all… or is his confidence in HIS Texans unshakable?

From the trenches to the big picture, Wade Smith delivers insight, confidence, and belief in a Texans team that’s ready to make history.

If you’re a die-hard fan, a new fan, or someone trying to understand why this moment matters, this is a must-watch episode.
