DeAndre Hopkins looked every bit like a first-round draft pick. The Clemson wide receiver caught seemingly everything thrown his way, with at least one highlight-reel one-handed grab on all three days of practice. That included Sunday, when he caught a lofted deep ball from Case Keenum down the left sideline with his left hand while his right arm was being held by a defensive back who was on his back as Hopkins made the catch falling to the ground.![]()

Prepare your assholes, NFL.
I excited to see the texans defense with Cushing back.
Cushing and Watt will be in beast mode this year.
Not only that, but Gary "Norv 2.0" Kubiak is still the coach![]()
Yes to both, unfortunately.
They are close to an AFC championship game appearance regardless though if they stay healthy. That defense can carry them past much of the limitations that Kubes/Schaub produce. Don't forget that they added Lechler. I think he's a underrated addition. He will help that defense even more by flipping field position.
Don't get me wrong, Houston is a strong team that got even better in the offseason...but QB, QB, QB brah
Yeah I know. They ain't winning it all with det guy under center. AFC championship game is my predicted ceiling.
unfortunately he is. I am hoping the defense and Foster carries them this year.
I am still picking the texans to play the broncos in the afc le game.
Dammit Sam. Get your ass in gear. I really don't want to be right about you.
So Ed says he might not be ready to play until several games into the season. That'd make me nervous if I were Houston. Reed is pretty fragile, and the Texans don't really have a lot of depth behind him. He always seems on the edge or retirement in July, though. He REALLY hates training camp. So we'll see where this goes.
Smith is pretty confident he will be ready by week 1, but even if he isn't they can afford to start without him if necessary. If he's not ready to go by week 3 in Baltimore I'll start getting concerned. Also, I think Swearinger is going to be able to come in and play right away. He'll be able to take some of the load off of Reed.
If I were the Texans, I'd actually try to swing a trade for Philbilly Rivers.... if he sucks like he's been sucking for the past two years or so, oh well, you had a ty quarterback either way, but if he somehow regains his 2009-2010 form, the Texans become arguably the favorites in the AFC....
Training camp...finally. Encouraging news about Reed from the guy who is probably closest to him...
Couple of tidbits of good news regarding recent issues:
I wish I lived in Houston right now. I would be using all of my sick days to go watch the texans in training camp.

With all the talk about today’s NFL being a game in which quarterbacks rule the day and everything else runs one step behind, the Houston Texans have built a consistently winning team with a decidedly old-school archetype. Their best player in 2012 was a defensive lineman (J.J. Watt), their primary receiver is an under-the-radar superstar, their quarterback stands a bit above average, and the real fulcrum of the team lies in a power-based, zone running game. They had the NFL’s fewest shotgun plays in 2012, and ran more than most teams when they were behind, even late in games,when they were behind – 34 percent of all such plays in the second half, to be specific.
