This season for the Houston Texans is a season like no other in history. We have a legitimate team that has the talent and ability to be Super Bowl contenders. Yeah, let that sink in for a minute. The Texans seemingly have the most balanced team on both sides of the ball. They have pro bowlers at almost every level and they have rising players that will soon be recognized amongst the elite of the game. One player in particular that I have been keeping an eye on is Kareem Jackson. For the last two years, Jackson has been the whipping boy for everything that goes wrong for the Texans. He is now showing signs that those days may be behind him.
When Kareem Jackson came to Houston, he wasn’t highly touted out of college and was sort of unknown. He played in a pro style defense under University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban. Jackson was always the “other” corner alongside Javier Arenas. Arenas was the spark plug of the defense, a true playmaker, and a do it all kind of player. Jackson ...

Houston Texans 1st-round pick Whitney Mercilus was expected to be used as a pass-rush specialist this season, but he’s failed to carve out a niche for himself in the Texans defensive scheme so far.
Through two games Mercilus as been on the field for just 24 plays, 18 of them as a pass rusher. In those 18 plays, he’s recorded just one quarterback hurry and zero sacks according...

Texans' offense could be ideal defense vs. Manning
The best way for the Houston Texans to defend Peyton Manning in Denver on Sunday may be to keep him off the field.
The Texans (2-0) dominated possession with a punishing running game in last week's 27-7 victory over Jacksonville.
Sure, the defense played well again, holding the Jaguars to nine first downs and 117 total yards. But thanks to the well-executed ball-control game...

From “Ultimate Texans”, the Texans blog in the Houston Chronicle:
Obviously having a sixth grade math background isn’t a requirement to coaching in the NFL. ...

Houston Texans – 27, Jacksonville Jaguars – 7This game mostly played out exactly as most fantasy prognosticators predicted, which meant lots of running for the Texans, and not much Matt Schaub (192 total yards) passing. Because the Texans are now a run first and good defense type of team, it’s hard to count on Schaub as anything more than a backup fantasy QB.Hopefully you...

Houston Texans (2-0) at Denver Broncos (1-1)
No line has moved more over the past week than this one. Last week, this line was -2.5 in favor of Denver and now it’s -2 in favor of Houston. Why? Because Houston blew out the lowly Jaguars? Because Denver lost by 6 in Atlanta, one of the toughest places to play in the National Football League? I don’t get it. This line should probably...
