Houston's Amobi Okoye was praised for playing his best game this season after he recovered a fumble against the Bengals.
The 2007 first-round pick is not satisfied though, as he's still looking for his first sack of the season.
Okoye had four sacks in his first four games last season and has had just 1 1/2 since then. He's struggled with consistency since the Texans picked him 10th in the draft when he was just 19.
The defensive tackle turned 21 this summer and is still working on maturing on the field.
"I think it's hard because you're not only young, you were very successful in college and all of the sudden these guys you are going against, being successful is much harder," coach Gary Kubiak said.
Kubiak pointed to the difficult transition fellow defensive lineman Mario Williams had when he came into the league after being picked No. 1 in the 2006 draft. The Texans were jeered for the pick for more than a year while Williams developed, but he morphed into the dominant player they hoped he'd be in the middle of his second season.
The Texans are hoping for similar results from Okoye, who started 14 games last season and finished with 23 tackles.
