Reading the coverage of the Houston Texans...
Texans coach Bill O'Brien talks a lot about tailoring the game plan to each opponent. He mentioned on Thursday that the Texans would like their offense to be a little more balanced, writes John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. Of course, part of the reason they've run the ball so disproportionately is that they've played with leads.
Outside linebacker Ricky Sapp returned to the Texans' roster this week. The Texans hope he adds to their pass rush, writes Dave Zangaro of CSNHouston.com. “I just felt like if I could just get back healthy and let them know that, I thought I would have a chance to come back,” Sapp said. “I just kept the faith and I’m thankful to be back.”
Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul has no concerns about the Texans' offense, writes Jordan Raanan of NJ.com. "Uh, nothing," said Pierre-Paul, who was credited with 1.5 sacks in a loss to Arizona last week. "Yeah, I think we should be able to handle that offense. Nothing concerns me." He added: "Make them put it in the air. We have to make them want to throw the ball. Stop the run. And we're going to stop the run, I promise you that."
Andre Johnson almost feels like he's back in college, writes Deepi Sidhu of HoustonTexans.com.
Missed this one yesterday, but here it is in case you did, also. Texans owner Bob McNair did a segment on CNBC in which he spoke about the NFL's latest problems with their handling of domestic violence committed by players. McNair supports a hard-line stance on domestic violence. He also supports NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
