Rookie Mini Camp Notes: Day 2
Day two is in the books for the Houston Texans rookie mini camp. Only one day remains on the start of the Texans 2013 football season, and there has been plenty of bright spots during this two-day stretch. Head Coach Gary Kubiak was absent from the first practice to attend his son’s graduation from Rice University, but was there for the second practice. Players looked fatigued during the first practice and the humidity was taking a toll on some players on the field. The second practice was short and crisp and the players looked more in tune with the practice. Day one…

Texans Reportedly Interested in Dansby
The Houston Texans are reportedly interested in free agent inside linebacker, Karlos Dansby. Dansby had one of his most productive seasons in 2012 for the Miami Dolphins when he posted 134 total tackles, which was 15 over his previous high in 2008 with the Arizona Cardinals. Dansby is one of the more attractive free agents on the market and will sign with a NFL team before training camp opens across the league. The 10 year veteran (Auburn) is 31 and is 6-4 and 250 lbs. and would look to be a viable compliment to starter Brian Cushing for the 2013 season. This…
Digging Deep: Sam Montgomery
In this 4th part of our Digging Deep series, we look at the Houston Texans’ fourth pick inside the top 100 players of the draft in outside linebacker Sam Montgomery. Montgomery was taken with the supplemental draft pick that was awarded to the Texans from losing Mario Williams to the Buffalo Bills. Montgomery was a defensive end at Louisiana State University but it looks like he will be switched to a strong side outside linebacker. We talked to Billy Gomila from and The Valley Shook, an LSU blog covering the Tigers. Digging Deep What do you think about Montgomery falling to the…
Digging Deep: Brennan Williams
In this third part of the Digging Deep series, we look at the Houston Texans’ first pick of the third round, offensive tackle Brennan Williams. Williams was considered a top tackle in the draft before a shoulder injury ended his season with the Tar Heels late in the 2012 season. Williams is everything you want in an offensive tackle, a nasty player that knows how to finish off blocks. We talked to our good friend Doc Heelfire from the Tar Heel Blog and he gave us more insight into the big right tackle. Digging Deep What did Brennan Williams mean…
Digging Deep: D.J. Swearinger
If there is one player that seems to be drawing more interest, it has to be the second round pick of the Houston Texans, D.J. Swearinger from South Carolina. Swearinger is a player that plays with alot of confidence and looks to be the Texans’ future at the safety position. We talked to Gamecock Man from the Garnett and Black Attack to talk more about Swearinger and what he brings to the table for the Texans. Digging Deep What type of player did the Texans get with Swearinger? Swearinger’s greatest strength is his hard-hitting style. He’s definitely a player in the classic…
Digging Deep: DeAndre Hopkins
It is always good to go and look for more information on the newest Houston Texans and we asked for help from Brian Lewis who covers the Clemson Tigers football team on Shakin’ The Southland. We wanted to find out more about DeAndre Hopkins and how he performed at Clemson and get Brian’s thoughts on how Hopkins could project moving forward as a Houston Texan. Digging Deep What can you tell us about DeAndre Hopkins and his time at Clemson? Ever since Hopkins stepped on campus most fans knew he would be special. He is a local guy (graduating…
Ed Reed Has Hip Surgery
According to Head Coach Gary Kubiak, Houston Texans safety Ed Reed had a procedure done on his hip to address a labral tear suffered during the 2012 season. The recovery will keep him out until the start of training camp and he is expected to make a full recovery. This is already is the first medical issue for Reed, and hopefully the last for some time. Reed played with the labral tear the entire 2012 season and playoffs for the Baltimore Ravens and he has not missed a start the past two seasons. Reed was the Texans biggest off-season acquisition after he signed a three-year…
