Jadeveon Clowney: I sure hope 2016 is the year he has a breakout season and stays healthy.
What a great lift he would be for what could become a very strong pass rush this season.
The Texans offense has plenty of speed to burn. Brock Osweiler will be able to showcase his arm.
We do have to temper expectations just a little though. Will Fuller and Braxton Miller are rookies.
But DeAndre Hopkins is primed for a monster season and Jaelen Strong finally has his head on straight.
Lamar Miller will hopefully rejuvenate our running game. Jonathan Grimes and Alfred Blue are decent depth.
Our offensive line will have its issues if Duane Brown can't stay healthy and our tight ends have to be more productive.
Between Ryan Griffin and C.J. Fiedorowicz, we need one of those guys to step up and become a viable threat in the passing game.
The Texans offense is going to be a work in progress but the potential is much better than what it was last year.
Our defense has a chance to become special. They'll keep us in a lot of games. J.J. Watt is still the best player on the planet.
Special teams: I'm pulling for the undrafted rookie kicker out of UCLA, Ka'imi Fairbairn, to beat out the veteran Nick Novak.
Ka'imi Fairbairn had won the Lou Groza Award as the nation's top kicker last year. I'm surprised he wasn't drafted. Ka'imi Fairbairn has a dynamic leg. He can make 60-yard field goals. If he's reliable from 30 to 55, that's all we really need. So far in mini camp and off-season workouts he's been impressing the Texans coaching staff.
I don't think it's going out on a limb to suggest that he'll win our starting kicker job as a rookie.
I'm ready for training camp and the preseason to start. The Texans play at San Francisco on August 14.
It's all about being ready for Week 1 of the regular season when the Texans host the Bears on September 11.
I don't want to make any predictions. We seem to have a pretty tough schedule and the AFC South is looking better.
