Via AP on Fox  |  August 12, 2012
Houston coach Gary Kubiak found ''some ugly'' when he broke down a replay of the Texans' victory to open the preseason. The Texans beat Carolina 26-13 behind a dominant defensive effort Saturday night. The Panthers mustered only 137 yards and failed to gain a first down in the second half.

Texans Injury to Shaun Cody a Bigger Deal Than Most Think

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  August 13, 2012
I remember prior to last season, Houston fans were ready, and hopeful, for defensive tackle Shaun Cody to be one of the cuts that new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips would implement. I’m not absolved from this, as I thought it was the right move along with letting draft bust Amobi Okoye go. But, as many already knew, Phillips kind of knows what he is doing out there. Still...

Do the Houston Texans strike you as a desperate kind of franchise? Do Gary Kubiak and Rick Smith seem like they need attention? Ever seen the Texans pull some stunt? No?
