2011 Houston Texans
The Houston Texans have a lot to prove this season and not just to the rest of the league; to themselves. After having one of the most prolific offenses the last three seasons, finishing last season with a 6-10 record left more than a bad taste. "It is time for us to take that next step," Texans quarterback Matt Schaub said. "We have the talent. We have the personnel on both sides of the football; we see it every day. We've talked about it for so many years going into the season, but this year it's enough talk. We've got to go and let our actions speak." And they did, demolishing the Indianapolis Colts 34-7. Although the team was without superstar Payton Manning, the Colts had its regular accompaniment of all stars otherwise.
First round draft pick DT JJ Watt (11th overall draft selection) made the starting squad and transitioned to Left Defensive End and 2nd round selection Brooks Reed (42nd overall selection) is backing LOLB Connor Barwin.
Look for the Texans to get over the hump this season and go blasting into the playoffs. Be sure to get your tickets and come out cheer them on!
