12 SEP 2026 · Marc Vandermeer and John Harris open the 25th season with a full Week 1 game preview, the Mattress Firm Sleeper of the Game, the Modelo Moment and the status report. Head coach DeMeco Ryans sits down twice — once for a game preview with Marc, and again for Feel Good Friday, where he breaks down the four captains, the offensive line's new continuity, and why he tells his staff not to chase ghosts in the opener. Defensive line coach Rod Wright joins the show in studio to explain the origin of "the engine," what he's seen from Jadeveon Clowney since he signed, how Will Anderson Jr. has changed entering year four, and why he expects a 12-round fight with Buffalo. Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Doug Vosik takes fans inside the Rivalries uniform launch — the white helmet, the H-Town blue, the fan research behind it, and the numbers that made it the top launch in the league. Plus Azeez Al-Shaair on trust and communication, and John's rapid-fire picks for the full Week 1 slate.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

11 SEP 2026 · Marc Vandermeer and John Harris count down the final hours to the Texans' Week 1 opener against the Buffalo Bills at Reliant Stadium on this Thursday edition of Texans All-Access on 95.7 The Fan. The guys open with the NFL Kickoff Game, where Drew Lock came off the bench for Seattle and Drake Maye's three fourth-quarter interceptions swung the Super Bowl rematch, then dig into Maye's track record against winning teams and why so few young quarterbacks get real coaching continuity. Pro Football Hall of Fame sportswriter John McClain joins the program on the line on his way to a Gridiron Legends event. The General explains why he believes the Texans' defense could be even better than it was last season, what one early DE Will Anderson Jr. hit on QB Josh Allen could mean, and why the offensive line is the key to the run game with RB David Montgomery and RB Woody Marks in the backfield against new Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard's 3-4. He shares what he expects from QB C.J. Stroud and offensive coordinator Nick Caley, goes around the league on Browns-Jaguars, Ravens-Colts and Buccaneers-Bengals, names the Cowboys and Bengals as his turnaround teams, and weighs in on where Arch Manning could land. Rookie LB Aiden Fisher then sits down in studio. The seventh-round pick and two-time All-American from national champion Indiana talks about managing the long rookie year, what LB Azeez Al-Shaair and LB Henry To'oTo'o have taught him, and why his superpower is the stuff that doesn't show up on a stopwatch. He compares DeMeco Ryans with Curt Cignetti, explains what it's like wearing Ryans' No. 59 and hearing the defensive call through the green dot, and describes playing special teams for Frank Ross, following Cignetti from James Madison to Indiana, and why preparing for Josh Allen is the part of football he loves most. The show closes with Thursday's injury report and a Houston Methodist Minutes segment with Dr. Robert Flannery on hydration and electrolytes.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

9 SEP 2026 · Game week is here. John Harris opens the Wednesday edition of Texans All-Access from the Texans Radio Studio with the Texans four days out from hosting the Buffalo Bills at Reliant Stadium in the 2026 regular season opener. Executive Vice President and General Manager Nick Caserio joins Marc Vandermeer and John Harris in studio for his weekly visit, covering the state of the program coming out of training camp, how this roster differs from the three that came before it, the reshaped offensive line, T Blake Fisher's jump in year three, WR Kayshon Boutte's arrival, RB Woody Marks' second-year leap, and a tight end room he calls deep and complementary. Caserio also runs through his Week 1 scouting report on Buffalo — Brandon Beane's roster building, the transition from Sean McDermott to Joe Brady, Jim Leonhard's new defensive scheme, and the challenge of preparing for QB Josh Allen. He closes with thoughts on artificial intelligence in football operations, the evolving kicking-game rules, P Kai Kroeger winning the punting job, and the Rivalries uniforms. Then it's Men Behind the Mics. Marc Vandermeer sits down with Chris Brown, the play-by-play voice of the Buffalo Bills, for the view from the other sideline: what DJ Moore has meant to the Bills' passing game, the new three-four front under Leonhard, how Joe Brady's leadership is landing in the locker room, the AFC East and AFC contender picture, and what Buffalo has to do to move the ball on a Texans defense Brown says will eat one-dimensional offenses alive. John Harris then walks through the first injury report of the season — a notably clean one for Houston — before rookie LB Aiden Fisher closes the show. The Indiana product and national champion talks about the grind of a rookie year, learning from LB Azeez Al-Shaair and LB Henry To'oTo'o, wearing the green dot, playing for special teams coordinator Frank Ross, and swinging from preparing for a national championship game to preparing for Josh Allen.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

8 SEP 2026 · Texans All-Access opens the 2026 regular season with Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills ahead at Reliant Stadium. Head Coach DeMeco Ryans joins Marc Vandermeer and John Harris to explain how the staff avoids "chasing ghosts" against a Buffalo team with a new head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator. Ryans breaks down the four team captains — C.J. Stroud, Jalen Pitre, Will Anderson Jr. and Azeez Al-Shaair — details how undrafted rookies Collin Wright and Sabastian Harsh forced their way onto the initial 53, and explains why the offensive line's continuity changes what this offense can do in Week 1. Plus, what makes Josh Allen so hard to handle. Rookie cornerback Collin Wright then joins in studio. The Manvel native and Stanford captain talks about learning from Derek Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lassiter, going completely off social media for training camp, the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Andrew Luck's impact at Stanford, and rookie snack duty. Marc and John close with What's On Our Mind.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

4 SEP 2026 · Marc Vandermeer and John Harris put the 2026 season on the record. On this Friday edition of Texans All-Access, the guys go division by division across the NFL — recusing themselves from the AFC South — and lock in a winner and a surprise team for all seven of the rest. The AFC West gives them the most trouble. The NFC North is a coin flip. The NFC East gets sorted top to bottom, and both hosts land in the same place. Before the picks, Marc takes you inside Season Premiere presented by Amegy Bank, the Houston Texans Foundation night that celebrated 25 years of impact. He shares the backstage moment he loved most — introducing Texans Legend Glover Quin to Kamari Lassiter and Calen Bullock, two eras of Houston defensive backs meeting for the first time. Andre Johnson and Travis Johnson brought the energy for the Legends against the current locker room, and the night raised significant money for the Foundation. John Harris then pulls the best of Executive Vice President/General Manager Nick Caserio's appearance with Sean Pendergast and Seth Payne on 95.7 The Fan. Caserio breaks down what rookie Keylan Rutledge has shown across five weeks of camp, how the offensive line group has taken shape with Aireontae Ersery, Evan Brown, Trent Brown and Blake Fisher, and how veteran Wyatt Teller has handled a new scheme. Caserio also offers an encouraging progress report on Tank Dell. John closes by walking through the NFL.com writers' Super Bowl LXI forecasts, where the Houston Texans drew votes from Kevin Patra and Gregg Rosenthal — both built on the same premise: this is the elite defense in the National Football League. Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills at Reliant Stadium is September 13.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

4 SEP 2026 · Marc Vandermeer and John Harris open Week 1 preparation on Texans All-Access, with Pro Football Hall of Fame sportswriter John McClain joining the program from the Hyundai Texans Radio Studio. The General walks through a busy stretch of roster gyrations: the addition of T Max Pircher, the 6'7", 320-pound international tackle who joins the practice squad under the International Player Pathway exemption; T Braden Smith moving to injured reserve; and the trade that brought T Nate Thomas to Houston. McClain makes a bold call on C/G Keylan Rutledge — that the rookie belongs on the all-rookie team — and explains why Nick Caserio's public praise of Rutledge carries so much weight. He also digs into the tight end room, where TE Marlin Klein graded out as Pro Football Focus's top rookie tight end this preseason, and makes the case that Houston's personnel department deserves far more national credit than it gets. McClain and Marc then look at the opening four-game stretch, go around the league, and take on two of the week's biggest media stories: the Titans' decision to pull a credential in Nashville, and Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley's revelation about how fan-shot training camp video traveled between opponents. In segment two, Marc and John Harris play "Let's Make a Football Deal" — a run of hypotheticals covering guaranteed win totals, divisional records, who Johnny would keep healthy for 17 games, and what a 1,100-yard season from RB David Montgomery would unlock for the passing game. The show closes with Nick Caserio on how he and DeMeco Ryans have built this roster, why depth on and off the 53 is one conversation and not two, and where the focus sits heading into the opener. Texans All-Access airs on 95.7 The Fan and is available wherever you get your podcasts.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
