agree, but schaubb already had his breakout season last season.
Texans grab a wild card this season.
Texans win the World Cup.
Any Texans s that I know personally, which is limited to Atrain, Dr. Gonzo and like two of my cousins that live in Houston... yall want to go to the H to either see the game at Reliant or save some money and just get throwed at a bar? My cousin is a pretty huge Texans fan and he called me out on not coming to visit for a while so I'm gonna drive up there early as balls that morning and catch the game somewhere with him. We priced some tickets and found some close ass seats on the 45 yard line for $115 each but the catch is you gotta buy 8 tickets to get that price. And like yeah I don't have $900 I can pull out of my ass so it's probably gonna be Plan B. If Kori gets the NFL blog set up soon that could be like the first offical ST NFL forum GTG or some . Let me know.
For those who live here in San Antonio, hope you made it out to BWW last Thursday when Jacoby Jones, David Anderson, cheerleaders and Toro made the trip. I made it there and it was awesome. Easily 250 people attended to get autographs and pics. The line snaked out the door. Glad it pissed off Mike Taylor. I guess there's more than just a few Texan fans in SA. , as a Texan fan I was shocked at the number of fans who attended.
Let's get this season started!
Sounds good
I will talk to the old lady but I would go. I can be the designated driver on the way back as long as you es supply the coffee, water and cigs all night. But that sounds like a plan.
All draft picks signed. AJ is at camp.
Let the mediocrity begin!
LOL texans
LOL Being the 10th most valuable franchise in the world and never having a playoff appearance. WE STACKKKEDD
I'd rather they be the least valuable franchise and have a few playoff appearances.
they have been in the league for how long?
DAILY WRAP: TRAINING CAMP, DAY 1
The Big News
One of the two major stories on the first day of camp was wide receiver Andre Johnson. The back-to-back league leader in receiving yards missed the first few days of organized team activities this spring because of a contract dispute, but he reported to camp on Friday without a hint of discord.
"I've always wanted to be here," Johnson said after the morning practice. "I've never thought about holding out. I think that me missing the first few days of OTAs got a little blown out of proportion. I came in. I'm here now. That's all that matters."
Texans owner Bob McNair said that even though Johnson has five years left on his contract, he hopes to negotiate a new deal with the star receiver within a couple of weeks.
"Clearly, we've never done anything like this before and there has to be a reason for doing it, and Andre is a special guy so we're giving him some special consideration," McNair said.
The other headliner on Friday was first-round draft pick Kareem Jackson. The rookie cornerback missed the morning practice as he finalized his contract, but he signed shortly thereafter and was out at practice in the afternoon.
"It was very important for me to be out here with my teammates," Jackson said. "These guys are out here running around and sacrificing things. I wanted to get out here and be with them and show that I wanted to be part of the team."
Five Things Worth Noting
• The Texans did not wear pads in either practice on Friday. They practiced outside in front of fans in the morning with 85-degree weather (heat index 105). In the afternoon, they practiced without helmets on inside the Methodist Training Center practice bubble.
• Tight ends Owen Daniels and Anthony Hill, who are recovering from ACL injuries, were placed on the active/PUP list on Friday. They still count toward the 80-man roster limit and can be taken off the list at any time during camp. The Texans are hoping that Daniels, a Pro Bowler in 2008, will be ready for opening day against the Indianapolis Colts in six weeks.
• Xavier Adibi and Danny Clark are the likely candidates to start at strongside linebacker during Brian Cushing's four-game suspension to start the season, but it was Cushing who got the first-team reps on Friday. "As we're teaching these first 10 days, there are a plenty of reps to go around," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "We don't change anything. As we approach the preseason, then some of that mindset will change."
• As he did during OTAs, Arian Foster lined up as the first-team running back. The backfield compe ion should be fierce. Steve Slaton and rookie Ben Tate are healthy, and don't forget about Chris Henry and Jeremiah Johnson; Kubiak said that the reps would be split "right down the middle" among all five backs.
• The announced attendance for the Texans' Friday morning practice was 3,714, the largest opening-day crowd in the team's training camp history. "This is a big-time opportunity not only for us, but for fans in the city of Houston to come out and get look at us," quarterback Matt Schaub said. "To see them come out and support us on a hot Friday morning, it means a lot."
Five Things Worth Quoting
"We think he is going to be our first Hall of Famer and we'd like to see him spend his entire career with the Texans, and so hopefully that is what we will be able to achieve. That is what I'd like to see happen. We're ready to sit down and talk about putting something together that might allow that to happen."
- McNair, on Johnson
"It's a big difference. I was in a spread offense. I was getting the signals from the sideline. There wasn't too much in picking up blitzes my last two years."
- Tate, on the Texans' playbook compared to the one he had at Auburn
"That was overwhelming. I've never seen that many numbers, and for it to be going toward me. So that was very overwhelming."
- Jackson, on signing his rookie contract
"I was told back in college by one of my coaches that ‘Confidence is a result of demonstrative performance.' I feel like after the way we finished last season and taking the next step for this franchise we should have confidence. We've had a great offseason of work. We have all the players and enough pieces to the puzzle in place."
- Schaub, on the team's goals
"I've got to have a good camp. I've got to have a great preseason. I've got to prepare myself for when I'm back and I'm going to train harder than ever and I've got to top last year. That's my biggest concern."
- Cushing, on his mentality with being suspended for the first four games of the season
exans give Andre Johnson extension
HOUSTON -- Andre Johnson has signed a new contract to stay with the Houston
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp10/news/story?id=5439727
Texans through the 2016 season.
The 29-year-old Johnson had five years left on a deal worth $60 million, but wanted to renegotiate. Texans general manager Rick Smith would not immediately release terms of the new contract, which amounts to a two-year extension.
KRIV-TV in Houston reported that Johnson received a two-year, $23.5 million extension with $13 million guaranteed. His current contract was set to expire after the 2014 season.
Johnson says he's prepared to play for the Texans for his entire career. The All-Pro receiver has led the league in receiving yards the past two seasons and topped 100 catches in three of the past four. He has the NFL's highest receiving yards average (90.2 per game) since 2006.
Last week, team owner Bob McNair said he envisions Johnson becoming the franchise's first Hall of Fame inductee.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
I was watching them talk about this on ESPN while I was at the gym yesterday. Good to see they got it done.
Looks like that piece of Cushing is trying to come up with an excuse for his HcG levels being raised.

HOUSTON -- Suspended Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing says his positive test for a fertility drug was the result of overtraining.
Cushing is suspended for the first four games this season after testing positive last September for HCG, a drug on the league's banned substance list. Cushing says he never took the drug, which can be used to restart testosterone production after a steroid cycle, and has no idea how it got into his body.
Cushing worked out with his team on Monday morning. He says doctors have told him that the failed drug test resulted from "overtrained athlete syndrome," a condition that he says can trigger hormonal es.
Texans owner Bob McNair flew to New York on Monday to meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in hopes of getting Cushing's punishment reduced. The league denied Cushing's appeal of the suspension in February.
overtrained athlete syndrome
I don't care what he's taking...just don't be stupid enough to get caught again.
