* Texans head coach Gary Kubiak says an improved approach to the game has been key for second-year DE Mario Williams. Hes a pro, Kubiak told Houston reporters last week. He knows how to practice. If you watch the kid out here, he enjoys himself. I mean, he works on the scout team. Mario found the love for the game, and I think Mario looks at himself and says, Dang, I could get a lot better. I could be a great player. I think all those things the light has come on for him from that standpoint and Mario enjoys being here, he enjoys working. And if youre going to last a long time, be a great player, those things are very important. You can see it happening for him every day.
* There is confusion and amusement among both Titans and Texans observers about DT Albert Haynesworths dislike of Texans QB Matt Schaub. The Titans knocked Schaub out of the game in both meetings between the teams, and Haynesworth poked fun at Schaubs play after both matchups. Schaub had never played against Haynesworth in three previous seasons.
