    He kind of got himself in the dog house by being out of shape, but he's worked hard since then and cut like 20 lbs, so he'll be fighting to get back in the mix at camp.

    That's huge news. I've been following Aaron Wilson since before he joined the Baltimore Sun. I like his work and glad he'll cover the Texans.

    He lists virtually all NFL transactions. From the big names all the way down to the third string long snapper. When a player signs a new deal he'll give the contract details of it.

    Congrats to the Chronicle for getting one of the best out there.

    His twitter handle @RavensInsider is no longer valid. You can follow him now @AaronWilson_NFL

    Not Texans material, he beat up a woman with a baseball bat....excited to hear Aaron Wilson on 790 on a regular basis. My downtime at work will be much more entertaining

    The feeling I have is Hoyer will start because he "impressed" O'B the most in camp but will eventually get replaced halfway to three quarterway through the season after costing us close games. I wish I could be more enthusiastic about the season but it's a little depressing at the moment. If Mallett can't beat out Hoyer then we don't need him, next man up. Seriously disappointed in him.

    Defense has a shot to be extremely special this year.

    If Cush is healthy then watchhhhh out.

    Completely agree. If Mallet isn't good enough by this point to unseat the poster child of mediocrity, he's not good enough period.

    This should make the week 1 matchup a little bit easier.
