Texans Safety Calen Bullock Offers Candid Insights on Training Camp Progress
After four days of training camp, Houston Texans Pro Bowl safety Calen Bullock shared his thoughts on the team's progress, highlighting the strong performances of safety Reed Blankenship and cornerback Kamari Lassiter.
Calen Bullock praises safety Reed Blankenship, saying he's a "smart guy" who quickly picked up the team's defense. "He's been to the Super Bowl, he knows what it takes," Bullock noted. "He's seen how a Super Bowl team looks like from offense, defense, special teams." Bullock credits Blankenship's knowledge and work ethic for helping him adjust to the team's defense.
Bullock also spoke about the importance of having a strong defense, saying that consistency is key. "We know the playbook, we know what we're out there doing," he said. "It helps you go out there and make plays and play with some confidence." The safety acknowledged that the team's dominant season last year set a high bar for this year's team, but he's confident that they can improve.
Cornerback Kamari Lassiter has been making a strong impression in training camp, according to Bullock. "He comes in every single day, he's the same person, very consistent," the safety said. "He's a smart football player, you're going to see him in a building, he's walking around watching film all day." Bullock credits Lassiter's off-season work and his ability to learn from his mistakes for his improved performance.
The safety also spoke about the team's quarterback, C.J. Stroud, saying he's more comfortable in the offense this year. "He's making better reads, making better decisions with the ball," Bullock said. "He's our leader, we talk to him, what we see on the defense, if we see something, we talk about it in the locker room and he tells us, too."
Bullock emphasized the importance of teamwork and communication on the field. "We're playing around each other, we're communicating with each other," he said. "We got each other's back, it's not about one person fitting in or disrupting the defense." The safety expressed confidence in the team's ability to improve and make a strong run this year.
The Texans are looking to build on last year's success, and Bullock believes that consistency and teamwork will be key to their success. "We know what we're out there doing, we know the playbook," he said. "It helps you go out there and make plays and play with some confidence." With a strong defense and a confident quarterback, the Texans are looking to make a strong impression in the upcoming season.
The team will continue to work on their skills and strategies as they head into the next phase of training camp. With Bullock's insights and the team's strong performances, the Texans are looking to make a strong run this year.
