The Texans and the rest of the AFC South.

Kubiak seemed more intense this year. Last year he was more, I don't want to say smiley, but less rigid when he spoke. This year there was more of an edge in his voice. Also his motto of "We have got a long way to go and a lot of hard work to put in" was replaced by talking of turning the corner, taking that next step, winning 2-3 more games, and becoming a contender. He didn't come out and say it directly, but I got the feeling by the way he carried himself and spoke that he expects this team to turn the corner and make the playoffs.

The last few years when you heard Kubiak talk you could still see him being nothing more than an assistant coach. This is the first year I heard him speak as a Head Coach.

The other thing I found interesting was he said that he did not call Gibbs and Rhodes to come out of retirement, but they called him to ask for a job and that says a lot to what the Texans are doing and what they are accomplishing and the direction this football team is going in.

Wow! He actually said that?
