Inside Training Camp - Houston Texans

[dawkins20]

They are on right now. It got me to thinking.....that team may not be the pushover that we and the media seem to think. We play them week one. While I do think we will win......I'm not sure it will be that easy.

There is some talent and depth on that O-Line now. Adding Flanagan at center will help alot. McKinney and Weigert aren't bad...and they have drafted a ton of O-Lineman in the first three rounds of the last few years.

Putzier and Moulds will help the offense

Their D will likely still struggle. Adding Williams should help the D-Line and the secondary though. It will be interesting to see how Philip[ Buchanan does.

Thoughts on the Texans?

If by that you mean 'have drafted only two first-day offensive linemen since 2003, both in the third round', then I agree.

Kubiak is a very good coach and will turn that team around. I'm glad we get to play them early.

I was just in Vegas for a few days and was shocked to see the Week 1 line listed as Eagles -3.5. I thought that was ridiculously low.

IMO those lines-makers generally know what they're doing, but I just can't see how the Eagles even let them score, let alone win by only 3 points. I think our Defense is going to outscore their offense all by itself.

Last time the Eagles played the Texans they didn't cover. Of course, they were 20-point favorites...

I guess some were drafted more like 4 years ago. Wand, Pitts, Winston, Weary, Spencer. Wand and Pitts being starters. Though I think Spencer gets in there immediately
