    Yeah, I know - Sometimes Castor doesn't worry with preseason games and I know many here want to talk about the game. He'll step in if he wants to. Don't get your panties in a wad.

    That really is the primary goal. Can't afford more injuries.

    No more injuries, and improved offensive line play. That's what I want to see.

    Would like to see a really good outing by Osweiler not just average or ok.

    I hope BOB opens up the playbook so we can get an idea of what to expect from Brock. I also want to see Covington make life hard for Palmer.

    Pretty much this. Improved oline play should theoretically improve the QB play also.

    Gonna be tough against ARI's very good defense.

    I wanna see them get Hopkins involved. He's been nonexistent the first 2 games almost as if Brock's not even looking in his direction.

    I don't. Put Hopkins in a hypobaric chamber and crack it open on opening night.

    I'd like to see improved line play and improved QB play. Honestly not seeing a whole lot from Osweiler that makes me think he is or will be a top 10 type QB which is basically what you need to do something in this league.

    Texans don't need him to be a top 10 QB to win games. He needs to just manage the games and maintain possessions and rely on Lamar and the stout Defense.

    Honestly, I'm more interested in seeing some consistency from XSF, moreso than Mancz even.

    Look we know Mancz will be a concern, but he's at least had a year in the system with knowledge of the playbook. Martin, who's loss is still huge, is still just a rookie who we were going to accept the growing pains with anyway. I almost look at it like the extra year experience helps offset the talent difference from Martin to Mancz and we'll still take the rookie lumps either way.

    Now XSF on the other hand is suddenly our most experienced starter on this line group. Time for him to step up and officially either officially become what we expected and be an actual strength of the OL, and stop being the weak link.
