OK- but now can our QB get enough time to get the ball to them? And, can he get it to them?PowerfulDragon said:

Good question, but as other areas improve, it makes other jobs easier.
More importantly, the better Carr plays, the easier it is for everyone else on the offense to do their job.
The receiving core is great, with Johnson potentially being the gamebreaking receiver we need, Moulds being a reliable vet with great hands and will definately require to be covered, Walter is an up and coming receiver who already learned from Johnson and will benefit from the likes of Johnson and Moulds. Then you have Putizer at TE who gives us the threat up the middle. Davis in the backfield provides us the running threat to open up the field even more for our receivers

Did somebody say Ray Guy? I thought I heard Ray Guy... punters rule. They should mix up some 2nd and 3rd down punts into their game. Reduce Sacks, Greater field position, more Field Goals.

It'll keep the safeties from cheatin up...

we might want to just to show off our fantastic new defense.
"The Texans' WR corps has impressed in offseason workouts, with free-agent signing Kevin Walter and former Bill Eric Moulds making excellent first impressions."
I know it wasn't much but atleast it is something to talk about. I think our receiving core can be as good as any in the league without the injury bug.

Wouldn't you be worried if the other team just kept punting the ball so their defense could run over you?

With M. Williams and Demeco Ryans on the prowl, i'd fear for my QB's life, yes.Brandon420tx said:Wouldn't you be worried if the other team just kept punting the ball so their defense could run over you?

This is why this team is going to be special. You see it at a lot of positions. The changes are going to be astonishing. Its not going to be about individuals its going to be about a team that became a team.

i really love the way we've handled this offseason. we got the coach who i'd been hoping for since we started this franchise. we landed great football minds to assist (sherman, reeves). we had a KILLER draft. we were very aggressive aquiring players who fit the system in free agency (putz & cook are prime examples). and we loaded up on veterans! flanagan, moulds, kalu, cowart, antwain smith, & rainer, along with our current veterans, immediately upgrade everyone around them because of their experience.
we're hearing mostly about moulds & AJ, but there are others to keep an eye on also. flanagan's going to bring a lot to carr's game, because carr will be more confident with a true probowler right infront of him, and also because flanagan's spent the last 10 years working with & learning from david carr's hero ... brett favre. cowart & rainer not only add talent and depth, but they're also wisened voices for guys like anderson, orr, ryans, & evans to learn from. these guys are going to do exactly what aaron glenn & jamie sharper did. they're going to be leaders in the locker room, challange the guys around them to be better, and with their teachings, put the younger guys on the fast track to success. "special" & "team" are deffinately the most fitting terms used to describe our 2006 texans.
i have NEVER been more excited about football (and if you read my posts this time last season, you'd have a hard time believing i was a texans fan).

You linked to the same thread? Not sure i understand.
Regardless, if everything about our team fell into place (including Mario being a first year dominant starter) i don't see any reason why a deep playoff run would be inconceivable. But i'm banking more on a season filled with a couple of dominant games where everyone clicks and some that get ugly because of all of the changes....after all this is an entirely different team now, position and strategy-wise.
P.S. - there are randomly small excerpts pertaining to the Texans in ESPN Insider articles quite frequently, i just don't post them usually because well it isn't much (for instance this exact thread topic) and i don't want to barrage the board with crap topics. but with the moderate success of this one i guess i should continue....mods?
