A visit to the London Circus brings new hope for a young girl.
On their way to the NFC Championship Game, the San Francisco 49ers have surprised everyone. They started out with a road win against the Dallas Cowboys, then left Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in shambles with a victory at Lambeau Field.
The 49ers are in fantastic shape as they prepare for the NFC championship game against the Los Angeles Rams. San Francisco defensive end Omenihu Charles, who was acquired in a trade from the Houston Texans, took a jab at his previous club while complementing his new locker room before to the Packers’ win.
49ers Defensive End The Texans get ripped apart by Omenihu Charles.
Omenihu was questioned about the differences between the Texans and the 49ers after being acquired in a trade.
He spoke about organization, the coaches’ connection, and other things, but one element jumped out.
Omenihu Charles on differences going from Texans to #49ers: “…It’s not a circus show here ..”
He was acquired in a midseason trade by the 49ers, and he’s made a significant contribution to the D-wide-9 line’s alignment.

He referred to the Texans organization as a “circus show,” and no one could blame him.
Omenihu praises the shift, particularly because the 49ers are in the midst of a fantastic postseason run (h/t NBC Sports’ Jennifer Lee Chan).
“It’s been a hard year for me personally this year. Coming off of my second year, my third year did not go as well as I had anticipated. It was a mix of what I was going through over there and what I was going through here. As a result, arriving here was a breath of fresh air. I like it because the organization is well-structured and not ego-driven, nor is there a power struggle. It’s fantastic to be able to do so.”

Omenihu isn’t entirely incorrect in his remarks, though. The Texans have been a catastrophe for the last several seasons, and things don’t seem to be improving now that the summer has begun.
After a problematic 2021 season, the Texans’ organizational failure continues.
The #Texans went 4-12 last season with Deshaun Watson leading the NFL in passing. In David Culley’s first and only season as HC, they went 4-13 without Deshaun Watson taking a single snap this season.

The Texans made a dubious decision? This isn’t a new phenomenon, at least not in the last few years.
Without Deshaun Watson playing a single snap, David Culley only lasted one season as the head coach and ended with the same number of victories as the year before.
Nonetheless, he was dismissed, and the Texans have been on the lookout for a new head coach. After moving on from Culley, they interviewed Josh McCown and Hines Ward for the vacancy.
Things aren’t looking good in Houston, and Omenihu’s remarks are consistent with everything that has happened there in recent years.
There are considerably more questions than answers, and this doesn’t seem to be a very appealing free-agent destination.
After being moved away, Omenihu is embracing life, particularly now that the 49ers are one game away from the Super Bowl.

In the NFL, midseason transactions are uncommon, but Omenihu is delighted he was moved when he was. The Texans were and still are a disaster, but the 49ers are one win away from a Super Bowl berth after earning the NFC’s sixth seed.
Omenihu has been a strong performer for San Francisco throughout his time there. He has eight tackles in six games with Houston. The former fifth-round selection only recorded six tackles in nine games with the 49ers.
Omenihu Charles had SIX pressures against the Cowboys on Sunday.
His victory percentage of 24 percent was the highest on the squad (min 3 pass rush snaps). With a victory percentage of 26.8%, Max Crosby leads the NFL this season.
The Texans acquired a talented young pass rusher for pennies.

However, he was outstanding in the 49ers’ playoff victory against the Cowboys, with 1.5 sacks and six total pressures on the day, including his first sacks of the season.
Omenihu and the 49ers are now on the verge of a Super Bowl appearance, and things are looking good for the former Texans defensive end.

Hines Ward and Josh McCown are two ‘outside the box’ head coaching candidates for the Houston Texans.
