Monday Photo Fun Texans Style
New feature on State of the Texans beginning this week to increase the off-season fun.

Is Ochocinco the Answer for the Texans?
If you have listened to any of our Luv Ya Steel Blue podcasts, you have heard me bang the table more than once for the Houston Texans to possibly look into Chad Ochocinco as a potential wide receiver before he ended up in New England.

Excitement Brewing: Texans OTAs
Here are some final notes on the Texans last OTA of 2012. – Gary Kubiak was impressed with Case Keenum today.

The veterans will be with strength and conditioning Coach Cedric Smith while the younger group will be going through mini camp. – Kubiak called OTAs a success because the team got out of the sessions without any major injuries. – A scary moment…

Got That Fire: Texans OTAs
