Texans OTAs: Day Eight Recap
It was a hot day for the Houston Texans and probably one of the more fast paced practices of the OTAs. The Texans concentrated on red zone offense and defense which upped the intensity on the field. It was a normal off day for some veterans but the team was running full speed during the last official week of OTAs. Day Eight – Once again, Head Coach Gary Kubiak is taking care of his veteran core players. Duane Brown, Owen Daniels, Wade Smith, Antonio Smith, Johnathan Joseph, Greg Jones and Andre Johnson were all healthy spectators for today’s session. One thing…

Offensive Line: Once a Weakness, Now a Strength?
By bringing back offensive tackle Ryan Harris, the Houston Texans are showing some of their hand heading into the NFL draft. Throw in the fact they also signed their only restricted free agent in Andrew Gardner, the Texans’ offensive line already looks intact for the 2013 season. The only difference in the offensive line is current free agent Antoine Caldwell, who started the 2012 season as the right guard but was soon passed over by then rookie Ben Jones, will not be back with the team. Entering the 2013 season, the starting offensive line for the Divisional round of the playoffs will be on…
Houston Texans “Super Draft” 2002-2012
It’s not often when you get a chance to do something that takes vision and time to put together, which turns into one of the more interesting posts we have done in some time. We enlisted the help of TX Cleaver, Big Ron and Jake Langerkamp, who have been fans with the team since it’s inception in 2002. We asked all three to join us in a mock draft using, as players to draft from, only the Houston Texans’ players who have ever suited up for the team since 2002. All three were intrigued by the idea and immediately accepted the offer. Of course, we only used four…
The Texans Need More Edge
If you think about it, there are now only a handful of Texans’ players that could possibly fit the mold we are talking about, that bad guy, but in a good way. The player that plays with the reckless abandon and doesn’t care what the other team or his teammates think. The guy that might seem a little bit crazy on the football field, the one that gives an identity to a football team. Take a look at the Texans we think are the heels of the team. Current Texans That Fit the Mold Kareem Jackson Kareem brought his A game in…

Mid Season Report Card: Offensive Line
This is the start of our SOTT Mid Season Report card and we will run through every position group for the Houston Texans. We focus on the offensive line in this post and give our thoughts on the position group. The Offensive Line Grades Duane Brown: He gave up his first sack of the season against the Buffalo Bills but he has been as good you can ask an NFL left tackle to be. He provides what the offensive line needs, a force in the run and pass blocking game. His athletic ability really shows when the Texans let him…
