Here are some photos I found on HT.com with Matt Schaub wearing his new helmet. During his time as a Texans QB, Matt's facemask always had two horizontal bars (one upper and one lower). These two photos were taken on day one of OTAs: Notice besides the new helmet that Matt's facemask has three horizontal bars (two upper and one lower). This photo was taken about a week later: Matt is still wearing the new helmet, but his facemask is different. He's gone back to the two horizontal bars (one upper and one lower) type.
I hope McNair hires Glenn as part of the Texans Ambassador program. Glenn is a class act and would do well representing the Texans. I wish Chester Pitts will also become part of the Ambassador program once his career is officially done.
Pleasantly surprised that Aaron chose us to retire with instead of the Jets. I know he's from here, but he was a Jet longer.

"Matt Schaub talks to Ed Werder about the Texans upcoming season" "The Houston Texans finished 2009 with a 9-7 record. The team's signal caller, Matt Schaub, threw for more passing yards than Peyton Manning and more TDs than Tom Brady, despite missing the playoffs. The 29-year-old recently sat down with ESPN's Ed Werder to discuss last year's close losses, the upcoming season opener against the Indianapolis Colts and his feelings about Andre Johnson's uncertain future with the team.

Damn, I was hoping we'd give him a shot to compete in camp and earn his job back. I have a feeling he was hoping for that too since he reportedly had offers long ago ... one I know of was from the Niners.
Ben Tate agrees to terms. http://twitter.com/McClain_on_NFL Edit: Tate was a second round pick, John.
