After their first winning season in franchise history, the new Houston Texans jerseys were hoping to improve their team enough to finally challenge for the division title. Yet with a very quiet offseason, outside of star linebacker Brian Cushing's suspension, it is likely the Texans don't have enough to compete with the Colts.
Matt Schaub was simply brilliant in 2009, leading the league in completions and yards. This was done without all pro receiving tight end Owen Daniels, who went down during the year with a knee injury. With Daniels' return and wide receiver Andre Johnson, arguably the best one in the game, the Texans should have another strong passing team this year.
On the flip side, the Texans may have gone through the air so much last year because their ground game was pitiful. No running back rushed for more than 450 yards. Steve Slaton suffered a sophomore slump and Arian Foster, Ryan Moats and Chris Brown were all not able to get the job done. Enter Ben Tate, the power back from Auburn. The Texans hope he and Slaton can get the ground game on track behind a young but talented offensive
Cushing's four game suspension will hurt Houston's defense greatly. The defensive rookie of the year led the team in tackles and was a team leader. Cornerback Dunta Robinson moved to Atlanta, but he will be replaced by first round pick Kareem Jackson. Mario Williams has developed into the player the Texans thought he would when they chose him number one overall in the NFL draft. They hope Amobi Okoye and rookie Earl Mitchell will be able to control the middle of the line.
Houston should be an exciting team to watch as long as Schaub stays healthy. Their lack of depth and questionable running game will likely get them only eight wins in 2010.
Currently, the Houston Texans jerseys seem to be interested in Wisconsin tight ends. Starter Owen Daniels has caught more than 200 catches — most for an Houston tight end — and the Texans just drafted Garrett Graham, who could see playing time early this season as Daniels recovers from knee surgery.
But which tight end gets your pick as the best?
