I just took more pics so you guys can compare the size. I am 6' 2" 215. Watt jersey is XXL and Foster is Medium.

Definitely should of gotten a smaller size.

It was a tight fit. I don't like jerseys that have a tight fit, you want them to be loose generally. XL or Large would of been better.

I know this thread is about jerseys, but does anyone have injury updates on Studdard and Caldwell from the Jets game?

Damn, so our starting guard and backup are both out "for awhile." I wonder if "awhile" means preseason or if it means PUP.

During the season, linemen often play through high ankle sprains. I'm guessing that they're just letting them heal to be 100% for the Colts.

On the radio today, they made it seem like Studdard will miss significant time while Caldwell has a high ankle sprain and will miss a few weeks.

I've never heard of anyone playing through a high ankle sprain. That is about as severe an injury as you can get without breaking or tearing something. Usually the effects linger for many weeks after recovery, so perhaps you're talking about players playing through that.

Usually it's 4-6 weeks, and that doesn't include time to get back in shape.

Brisiel and Smith are our starters. Caldwell only started a handful of games last year.

I keep forgetting about Wade Smith's existence for some reason. (and he's actually good too so it is weird)

Houston Texans Transcripts
Training Camp Practice #24 (Morning)
Saturday August 17, 2011

Head Coach Gary Kubiak:

(on RB Arian Foster) “I thought he looked good. We told him to be smart when he came out here today. It looked like he was fine, so hopefully every day’s a progression and we work towards Saturday night. It’s a good step in the right direction.”

(on if he’s concerned about RB Ben Tate) “Yeah, I have been. He’s missed a lot of time as a pro football player and we’re waiting to get him out here. But I will say this, from what I saw this morning, I’m hoping like heck he’s on this field tomorrow morning. We’ll see, but it looked like he took a big step forward and needs to get out here and compete.”

RB Arian Foster:

(on how it felt to be participating today) “It felt good getting back out there cutting, running around. It felt good.”

(on if there’s any limitations to him right now) “No, not really. I’m pretty much 100 percent but I’m just not going to push myself past the limit right now. There’s no need to, so.”

(on if he’s playing Saturday) “I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes. It felt good today but we’re going to take it day by day.”

(on if it’s difficult to just let go because of the hamstring injury) “No, not really. Hamstrings are a part of a runner’s life. You can’t really ever know when it’s healed unless you just feel it. It’s kind of a feeling that you know. Right now there’s just no reason to push it, go all out and try to win a marathon race or a sprint. We’re just going to take it day by day.”

(on how many reps he needs in this preseason to be ready for the season) “62. It’s a science, man. It’s a science.”

(on how important it is to play in more than one preseason game) “It’s important to just get the feel of football again. To bounce around, get hit, hit guys, see the field, feel the defenders around you. Running back is probably like 90 percent instinctual, I mean instinctive. You need those reps and I’m glad to be back out here.”

(on if he felt like himself out there today) “I feel like myself every day, but as far as football shape, yeah I felt like myself. I felt good on my cuts, but like I said earlier, we’re just going to take it day by day. I’m not going to push it 100 percent so we’ll just go about that.”

WR Lestar Jean:

(on his expectations coming into camp) “Well I just knew that it was going to be competition, I was going to have to compete. My motto is to outwork everyone. I just knew they had great receivers and I’m just trying to learn from them.”

(on having five daily goals) “Yeah that’s one of my goals every day. I come out every day with five goals in my mind so I can come out here and accomplish and get better every day. So, I don’t take a day off.”

(on being moved up the depth chart) “It makes me feel good but I know I have a long way to go and I gotta keep working. It’s a lot of life challenges ahead of me, I just have to work.”

(on getting confidence from success in the game) “It just makes me want to work harder because whenever you get success people are always looking for you to fail. I just want to work hard and get better and better every day. “

(on if the odds were against him coming in) “The odds have always been against me. I didn’t get recruited out of high school, I had to walk on to my college. It isn’t anything new. I just love it, being the underdog. You come out and you just shock the world.”

FB Lawrence Vickers:

(on what he’s going to do to prepare for Saturday) “I’m going to get in my book, make sure I work hard, stretch and bring the energy and passion to the game that I always do.”

(on how impressive the offensive line is) “I think they’re very impressive. They like to move quicker, cut down that back side within the zone schemes. They all like to keep it flowing and they’re all smart. They’ve been together. They play with each other, so that’s always a plus when you have an O-line that knows each other.”

10 Questions with Derek Newton

By Blake Howell

Offensive tackle Derek Newton (6-5, 311) was selected by the Texans in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

A native of Utica, Miss., Newton answered 10 questions for HoustonTexans.com after practice on Wednesday morning.

1. How has training camp been going for you so far?
“Training camp right now is going pretty good for me. I’m just getting in my playbook every night, trying to learn my plays the best that I can. It’s just (a matter of) going out on the field and transferring them.”

2. Now that training camp is coming to an end, what are the next steps before Saturday’s game?
“Pretty much just in my playbook every chance I get to make sure that I know my right calls, know everywhere that I have to go and just know my assignments.”

3. What are you most excited about this season?
“Just being a part of this team and being able to help the team any way I can.”

4. Who are you hanging out with the most?
“Right now, I conversate with lots of people, but I’m mostly just hanging with the O-line and trying to ask them about plays here and there – what to do, how to study film and stuff like that.”

5. What is your favorite TV show?
“My favorite tv show would be ‘Martin.’ There’s just something about Martin, he’s a funny guy. Everything he does is just hilarious.”

6. What was your first car?
“A 2003 Crown Vic.”

7. What are your favorite hobbies?
“Pretty much just hanging out, going to the movies and fishing.”

8. What kind of music is currently on your iPod?
“It’s a variety of stuff. Rap, R&B… I have a variety of everything.”

9. What would consider to be your perfect day?
“A day where I can sit up and just watch MTV or SportsCenter all day, relax and lay back in the AC.”

10. What’s the main thing the coaches have had you work on throughout training camp?
“Adjusting my feet, my kick-step, and just being able to get all my steps down.”
