Ugh.... Come on guys, please don't destroy my hope now, you're supposed to wait until the middle of the season to do that!
I expect to see a record number of injuries and muscle pulls this year with so many guys out of training shape from the lockout.
I understand the concernes, trust me, every year it seems like we will make a little noise. This year though, I think we may have actually made the moves to be very competitive throughout the games. I think things that hurt us in the past, won't necessarily hurt us this year. This is the year. We definitely go to playoffs barring any injuries/suspensions. What we do from there, is up in the air at this point.
A) It's Mcclain and his speculation. Remember, this guy is not the one from Die Hard, so he is not money. B) A pull, not that disconcerting to me. Now somebody limping or whatnot, that's cause for concern.
Yay, some good news: StephStradley Stephanie Stradley Kubiak: Owen Daniels was sick today. Left practice early. "A bug going around."
Kubiak: Good. Hump day for the guys doing it. Needed to get the new guys going so came out in shorts. Good step forward. Pads tomorrow. We'll push through Sunday morning and then give them a break. Hope they're all on the same page by then physically. Got a bug with our team. 2-3 guys a day. 6(sick?) today. No idea on what it is. A bug. (How Owen has looked)Owen has looked great. I know how hard he has worked. Key to his success is a good training camp. (5 days in, how does he feel): We're behind from what we'd be doing because we havent had him but with the time we've had, I feel good. And....TexansTV microphone shut off. Awesome.
StephStradley Stephanie Stradley Arian Foster left. Did 40 min. "Hamstring tightened up" per Kubiak. Took out as precaution. StephStradley Stephanie Stradley Kubiak didn't seem very concerned w/ Arian Foster. Holding number players out. 1st day back. Says more details known at PM practice
Should read: (5 days in, how does he feel): We're behind from what we'd be doing because we havent had time but with the time we've had, I feel good.
Should read: Got a bug with our team. 2-3 guys a day. 6 today. No idea on what it is. A bug. 3 guys battlefought today with it.

You know, as weird as it sounds, sometimes I think I take for granted what it means to have a guy like Andre Johnson on the team. I mean, obviously we all see his performance on the field and stand in awe, but every single account from other players about him is how friendly he is, how helpful, what a great guy. How often do fans get to root for a player that is one of the best at what he does on the field, and one of the best people off it? He really is an awesome individual.
The Patriots signed Mark Anderson today. He played for the Texans last year and there were thoughts that the Texans would bring him back.
