That's just a cover up so it's not too obvious who I am.

Between Sam Montgomery and Trevardo Williams, we need one of them, hopefully both, to step up as a rookie.
I think we'll get big seasons out of Brooks Reed, Brian Cushing and Whitney Mercilus. We have the makings of a good and young LB core.



Trevardo Williams is quick off the snap. Small size but built like a tank. He gets good lower leverage. Smaller, quicker pass rushers are hard to block off the edge. It's a smart idea that the Texans brought in Montgomery and Williams to compete at OLB. I think only Montgomery may see some time at DE as well.

Wade Phillips has a ton of young pass rushers. You would think the Texans have a chance to lead the league in team sacks if they stay healthy.
J.J. Watt by himself may get another 20.5 sacks or more. If these other young guys step up it's going to be a dominating defense.
Whitney Mercilus, in particular, it's time to shine. It's his second season and no more rookie jitters.

Even the secondary, at least talent wise, is the best the Texans have ever had in their 11-year history.
Johnathan Joseph, Kareem Jackson, Ed Reed, Danieal Manning, but the rookie D.J. Swearinger is a monster on the field.

I can't wait to see the Texans new look defense face a pretty good Chargers offense Week 1 on Monday Night Football.

Some random highlights over the past few seasons. Trying to pass the time until August 9 when the Texans play the Vikings.
Only one more month away from some pre-season football. I'll even settle for watching an NFL scrimmage at this point.

AT RAVENS
SEAHAWKS

RAMS
AT CHIEFS
BYE
COLTS
AT CARDINALS
RAIDERS
JAGUARS
PATRIOTS
AT JAGUARS

I think it will be 11-5 maybe 10-6
In conference i am curious about the Pats and Broncos games, and then Seahawks and 49ers will be a good test of the texans as well!!

Well, I'll tell you what. Looking at some of the recent Super Bowl champions they usually face a lot of adversity throughout the regular season. Some of them didn't even look like they were going to make the playoffs going into the final month of the season.

So I think it's best if we just go 11-5 or 10-6, stumble in some games, but when the playoffs start, we're healthy and motivated to play our best football.
What's the point of going 14-2, 13-3, clinching a high seed, only to choke in the playoffs?

But that being said, I think home field advantage in the playoffs would benefit the Texans more than any other team.

I do believe we are this year's Ravens.
