HOUSTON TEXANS WEEKLY RELEASE

GAME 8

VS Houston Texans vs san diego chargers - reliant STADIUM - Houston, Texas - SuNday, november 7, 2010 - Noon CT

The Houston Texans (4-3) face a stern test and not a lot of time to prepare for it when they take on the San Diego Chargers (3-5) Sunday at noon at Reliant Stadium. Hous-ton is coming off a 30-17 loss at AFC South Division leader Indianapolis on Monday Night Football after which the team didn’t return to the Lone Star State until the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday morning.

The Texans dug themselves an early hole against the Colts and couldn’t climb out despite solid play from the de-fense in the first half and 100-yard games from WR Andre Johnson and RB Arian Foster. Following the loss, Houston slipped to third in the AFC South from its first-place perch, a position it held or shared for the the first six weeks of the season. The AFC South is the only division in the NFL with all four teams at .500 or better.

Houston’s offense ranks seventh in the NFL, averaging 367.0 yards per game, and is spearheaded by Foster and Johnson. Foster leads the AFC and ranks second in the NFL in rushing with 737 yards (105.3 per game). Johnson is av-eraging 99.0 yards per game receiving and ranks fifth in the AFC with 594 yards on the year.

San Diego is not the typical 3-5 team. The Chargers lead the NFL in total offense, averaging 426.9 yards per game and also have the NFL’s best defense, yielding 260.0 yards per game. Houston’s defense will be playing its fifth game against an offense ranked in the NFL’s top five in the first half of the season.

QB Philip Rivers heads the NFL’s top passing attack, averaging 315.3 net passing yards per game. Rivers leads the league with 2,649 passing yards, the most in NFL his-tory through the first eight games of a season. His primary target, TE Antonio Gates, has accounted for 663 of those yards and leads all non-kickers with 54 points on nine touchdowns.

San Diego’s problems have come in the form of turnovers with an AFC-high 19 giveaways, including an NFL-high 12 fumbles lost.

Houston is 0-3 all-time against the Chargers. The teams haven’t met at Reliant Stadium since the 2004 season opener, a 27-20 Chargers win. San Diego won the last meeting between the teams, 35-10, on October 28, 2007.

2010 HOUSTON TEXANS SCHEDULE


Named NFL Coach of the Year by USA Today in 2009, Norv Turner is one of the most successful coaches in Chargers history. He has guided the franchise to three-straight AFC West titles.

Turner’s marks include records of 38-24 overall, 35-21 in the regular season and with three playoff wins under his belt, he’s tied with Don Coryell and Bobby Ross for the most in team history. No NFL coach has ac-complished the feat since 1994-96, when Barry Switzer won three consecutive NFC East titles with Dallas.

His teams are an NFL-best 13-0 in December over the last three years. In 2009, the Chargers ranked fourth in the NFL in scoring, averaging 28.4 points per game. It was the sixth year in a row that the Chargers averaged more than 25.0 points per game, including three-straight under Turner. The last team to average at least 25.0 ppg for six consecutive seasons was the Cleveland Browns from 1950-55.

In 2008 Turner’s team started 4-8, but won its final four in a row to close the season 8-8. The Chargers won the AFC West title and became the first team in the current division format to win their division when trailing by three games with three left to play.

Turner led the team to 11 wins in 2007 and joined Ross as the only coaches in team history to win the AFC West in

their first season. Turner also became the first Chargers coach since Ross to win a playoff game, defeating Ten-nessee in the Wild Card Play-offs and Indianapolis on the road in the Divisional round.

Gary Kubiak is the winningest head coach in Texans history with 35 career victories in four-plus years, includ-ing the three best seasons in team history from 2007-09. His 2010 team is off to a 4-3 start. One of Kubiak’s primary goals upon arriving in Houston was to create a home field advantage at Reliant Stadium, and he has made great strides in that direction. The Texans have posted a 22-14 (.611 winning pct.) home record since 2006.

Kubiak guided the Texans to a 9-7 record in 2009, highlighted by a season-ending four-game win streak to capture the franchise’s first winning season. Houston narrowly missed its first-ever playoff berth, losing a tie-breaker for the final spot on the last day of the season. The 2009 Texans set franchise records for total offense, scoring offense, total defense and scoring defense. A franchise-record five players earned trips to the Pro Bowl, led by Pro Bowl MVP Matt Schaub.

The 2008 Texans matched their record from the year be-fore, going 8-8 for a second straight year despite an 0-4 start in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, which devastated much of Houston and southeast Texas. Houston became just the tenth team in NFL history to start a year 0-4 and fin-ish with a record at or above .500. Houston was one of 11 teams to go 8-4 or better over the last 12 games; and nine of those teams were in the playoffs. The offense enjoyed its most productive season to date, ranking third in the NFL and setting a franchise record with 6,113 total yards.

Year two for Kubiak saw the team achieve the best re-cord in franchise history, finishing 8-8. The Texans won three of their last four and five of their last seven to finish the season at .500. In addition, the Texans set a team mark with a 6-2 record at Reliant Stadium in 2007.

In his rookie season, Kubiak tripled the team’s win total of the previous year, guiding the club to a 6-10 record. The six victories included wins in three of the last five games of the season and the fran-chise’s first ever win against Indianapolis. All six wins came versus AFC opponents, giving the Texans their most wins against conference foes in team annals.

GENERAL MANAGER RICK SMITHTEXANS COACHING STAFF

Rick Smith is in his fifth season as Texans general man-ager after being named to the post on June 5, 2006. The Texans have accumulated 35 wins since then, giving him the most wins for a general manager in Texans his-tory. The Texans have gotten better every season with Smith at the helm and posted their first win-ning season in 2009, going 9-7. Smith has built a team that has battled throughout the year as evidenced by a combined 14-6 re-cord in the final month of the season over the last four years. That record ranks fourth in the NFL and tops among teams in the AFC South. Houston had an NFL-worst .211 winning percentage in the last month of the season before his arrival.

Smith has assembled a front office staff that has the Texans pointed toward sustained success in the NFL and has established himself as a prominent voice around the league in his four years at the helm with the Texans. He was appointed to the NFL’s prestigious eight-man Compe-tition Committee by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on December 5, 2008 and was honored with the Tank Younger Award in 2008, presented annually by the Fritz Pollard Al-liance for outstanding work in an NFL front office. Smith was also an original member of the General Managers Ad-visory Committee that provides advice and other feedback to the NFL Football Operations department on the integrity of the game, expansion of technology and other ways to improve the game.

Smith’s main philosophy has been to build through the draft and supplement via free agency. Last season, 13 players who the Texans signed or acquired during Smith’s tenure started 10 or more games. In the final win of the season against the Patriots, 15 of Houston’s 22 starters had been with the Texans since his arrival in June 2006.

During the 2009 draft, Houston selected eight players, with four starting at least one game. First-round pick LB Brian Cushing was selected to the Pro Bowl and name Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year. Second-round pick DE Connor Barwin led all NFL rookie defensive ends with 4.5 sacks.

The Houston Texans made three additions to the offen-sive coaching staff in the offseason: Offensive Coordinator Rick Dennison, Quarterbacks Coach Greg Knapp and Of-fensive Assistant Marc Lubick.

The 51-year-old Dennison is entering his 16th season in the NFL as a coach and his 25th year in the league overall. Dennison has spent 24 years with the Denver Broncos, first as a player from 1982-90 and then as a coach from 1995-09, before being named the Texans’ offensive coor-dinator on January 11, 2010.

Dennison served as offensive coordinator in Denver from 2006-08 after his predecessor, Gary Kubiak, left Denver to become the head coach of the Texans. He coached the Broncos offensive line from 2001-05 and resumed that role in 2009. He also coached Denver’s special teams from 1997-2000 and was an offensive assistant from 1995-96.

Knapp is entering his 16th season in the NFL as a coach, including the last nine seasons as an offensive coordina-tor. Overall, Knapp is entering his 25th year in coaching.

Knapp coached Texans QB Matt Schaub in Atlanta from 2004-06 as the offensive coordinator of the Falcons.

Knapp spent last season as the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks and guided an attack that averaged 316.8 yards per game, including 218.9 per game through the air.

Lubick is entering his third season in the NFL as a coach or scouting assistant. He worked as Colorado State’s tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2009. He worked as the Rams wide receivers coach from 2005-07.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK


THE TEXANS WIRE

DEFENSE FACES ANOTHER TOUGH TESTThe Texans defense has been tested

each week this season, whether with its own youth in the secondary, facing a fu-ture Hall of Fame quarterback or just go-ing against another potent NFL offense.

Of the Texans’ first seven games this season, the team has gone against three

top-five NFL offenses, including the second-ranked Colts offense twice. Houston faced the Colts, who avergage 402.9 yards per game, in Week 1 and on Monday Night Football in Week 8. The Texans saw the Dallas Cowboys’ fourth-ranked offense (381.3 yards per game) in Week 3 and the No. 3 New York Giants (388.7 yards per game) in Week 5.

Rounding out the offensive gauntlet for the first half of the schedule is this week’s opponent, the San Diego Char-gers. The Chargers are averaging 426.9 yards of offense per game and boast the NFL’s leading passer in Philip Rivers, who has thrown for an NFL-record 2,649 yards through eight games.

It will mark the fifth time this season the Texans have faced a team that currently ranks among the NFL’s top five in offense.

AN EMERGING DYNAMIC DUORB Arian Foster and WR Andre John-

son both became only the fourth duo in Texans history to record 100-yard rush-ing and 100-yard receiving efforts on the same day against Indianapolis.

Foster ran for 102 yards and a touch-down on 15 carries and Johnson had 106 yards receiving and a touchdown on sev-en receptions. Below are the 100-yard rushing/receiving combos in franchise history:

The tandem’s success is being felt throughout the NFL, as they are one of only a handful of teams to have a 500-yard receiver and rusher on the same roster. Together, Foster and Johnson have combined for 1,331 scrimmage yards, based on Foster’s rushing and Johnson’s recev-ing. Only one other pair has better numbers in the NFL, Atlanta’s Roddy White (747 receiving) and Michael Turner (587 rushing), who total 1,334 yards.

DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGHHouston ranks seventh in the NFL with

367.0 yards of total offense per game. Much of that offensive production has come from players who entered the NFL as late-round draft picks, or in the case of RB Arian Foster, weren’t drafted at all.

Seventh-rounders and undrafted free agents have accounted for 92.8 percent

of the Texans rushing yards, 38.6 percent of the receiving yards, 58.2 perecent of the yards from scrimmage and 70.0 percent of Houston’s touchdowns scored.

Foster led the NFL in rushing heading into the open weekend with 635 rushing yards and 815 yards from scrim-mage and has a team-best seven touchdowns. WR Kevin Walter, who was taken with a seventh-round compensa-tory selection (255th overall) in the 2003 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, is third on the team with 22 receptions and has tied for the team lead with three receiving touch-downs.

In the Week 4 win at Oakland, RB Derrick Ward, a sev-enth-round pick by the New York Jets in the 2004 NFL Draft who started his career on the practice squad, ran for 80 yards and touchdown and Foster accounted for 183 total yards and two touchdowns.

SCORING

The Texans (3-5) dropped their third consecutive game and fell behind early when the Chargers scored on their second drive of the game with a 49-yard pass from QB Philip Rivers to TE Antonio Gates. On the ensuing posses-sion, the Texans were forced to punt and LS Bryan Pitt-man snapped the ball over P Matt Turk’s head, sending the ball into the end zone. Turk stumbled trying to recover and CB Antonio Cromartie jumped on it for a 14-0 Char-gers’ lead.

The Texans opened the second quarter with a 56-yard drive, resulting in a 40-yard field goal by K Kris Brown to make the score 14-3. Rivers answered with a 64-yard drive, hitting Gates in the end zone with a 31-yard touch-down pass. The Texans, meanwhile, could not catch a break.

QB Matt Schaub moved the ball to the San Diego 39-yard line, but was picked off by Cromartie on a short pass intended for WR Kevin Walter. Cromartie returned the interception 70 yards for a touchdown, giving his team a 28-3 lead. On the ensuing drive, Schaub threw another interception to Cromartie. After the play, the Texans quar-terback was leveled by San Diego CB Drayton Florence and left the game with a head injury.

The Chargers continued to charge ahead as Rivers con-nected with WR Chris Chambers on a 14-yard touchdown pass to boost the score to 35-3. The Texans showed life in the second half. DE Mario Williams brought down Rivers in the third quarter for a two-yard loss. The team scored its first touchdown in the fourth quarter when QB Sage Rosenfels hit TE Joel Dreessen in the end zone with a 28-yard pass, but the Chargers’ damage had already been done.

TEXANS INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS


(on the first-half problems on offense) “We played very good defense in the first half; offensively we really strug-gled. We were really just sloppy. We struggled sometimes with some alignments, struggled getting out of the huddle a couple of times. I don’t think we converted a third down in the first half. We had a couple of drops. And, of course, we gave them a touchdown. We played very good de-fense in the first half and yet our football team is in real bad shape at halftime. We just did not play well on the of-fensive side of the ball.”

(on the reasons for the offensive struggles) “We hadn’t played in 15 days, but there is no reason for us. Some of the mistakes we made, some of the trouble coming in and out of the huddle ... there is some noise here, but, golly, you have to be able to handle that. And we have over and over again. Some of the third downs, we have to make some of those plays and stay on the football field. ... Just disappointed in how we played offensively in the first half of the game.”

(on the Colts’ interception for a TD) “Little bit late with the ball, not a real good play call on my part from a cover-age standpoint. Just make sure you don’t make a mistake. (They) had him in a tough situation. Just have to go ahead and take your sack or throw it away.”

(on why Arian Foster wasn’t used more starting early in the game) “Our plan was to be balanced. Every time we show up, our plan is to be a balanced football team. We wanted to do some things early. A couple of runs were called early that ended up being passes. ... I don’t think we would have had any problem being a balanced football team tonight had we made a third down. I think we were 0-for-6 in the first half. And when you don’t make third downs, you don’t get snaps, and you are usually going to get out of whack.”

(on the Colts’ depth in the face of some injuries coming into the game) “The thing about (the Colts) is they don’t change. They’re going to do the same things. No. 18 is go-ing to get them in the right route for the coverage and he’s going to get the ball to the right guy. Give him the credit. Whoever tends to step on the field with him, he finds a way to get them the football. We knew it would be that way. We didn’t expect to see anything different.”

(on the Texans’ defense) “We obviously didn’t play as well in the second half. ... I think we had the ball four times in the second half. They controlled the third quarter. Time of possession is way out of whack. ... That’s not good; that’s not what gives us a chance to be successful against this football team.”

(on holding Manning to a pair of touchdowns in the pass-ing game) “We hold them to 350 or 360 yards of offense and they’re 2-for-4 in the red zone, all indications are we should have a chance to win that football game. But we dug ourselves a 14-0 hole by playing very poorly on the offensive of the ball and not having our team at halftime in a game they should have been in. ”

(on the pressure on Matt Schaub) “Anytime you come in here, it’s different. They’re going to get off on the snap count and all those things with the noise. You know that. That makes it even more important that you are able to keep third downs somewhat manageable. ... You know you’re facing that when you play them here, and you have to find a way to offset it. The best way to offset it is to run the ball and have third-and-twos and third-and-threes.”

GARY KUBIAK POST-GAME QUOTESNOVEMBER 1, 2010


OT Duane Brown (on allowing pressure on QB-Matt Schaub) “For me personally, especially in the first half, I feel like I gave up a lot of pressure. I feel like I kind of settled in the second half. When you play in this stadium against a great front four they bring a great pressure package. You gotta be able to hold up in key situations. We weren’t able to do that.”

RB Arian Foster“This is a competitive division and one of the best in the league and we feel like we can still compete in it. I try to do my job the best of my ability. I think the Colts were a little more cognizant of the cut back lanes and they played their gaps very well. We still had success running the ball, but we just didn’t get a lot of opportunities to do so.

WR Andre Johnson“The first half, we didn’t play the type of football we nor-mally play. We didn’t convert many third downs and that’s not like us. We never really got into a rhythm in the first half because I think everyone was taking turns making mistakes. I think it was just mental lapses at times and when you have those… you don’t win. We’re not going to go in the tank, we’re going to keep fighting.”

WR Jacoby Jones“Its always our expectation to win the games, but this is the NFL and you have to come to work and ready to play.”

FB Vonta Leach“It’s one game and one loss, we split one to one, they have a good football team and they just outplayed us tonight. We didn’t find a rhythm and we didn’t stay on the ball on third down, its something we have to look back on the tape and go from there. We just didn’t get the job done for whatever reason.”

SS Bernard Pollard (on the disappointment of a loss) “It hurts. I thought we played good. We played hard. You can’t question the effort, but we had some things that we left on the field.”

(on not putting best foot forward on the big stage) “That’s correct. It’s just one of those times when you wish you could have done some things differently. Obviously, we can’t turn back time. We have to have a short memory. We have got six days until another game. We gotta be ready to go and play sound. We gotta find a way to win in our backyard.”

CB Glover Quin“From a defensive standpoint, we feel like we played a pretty good game, but in this case it was not enough be-cause they made more plays than we did. Tonight Man-ning put the ball in the right spot and made plays.”

DE Mario Williams (on playing the Colts) “Their team is made up of basically being in the lead. Once they got it, we dug ourselves a hole and couldn’t get out of it.”

(on having a better defensive effort tonight) “We’re not there. We tried to do what we had to do to stay in the game. But like I said, the biggest thing is we didn’t get any turnovers and they did.”

(on limiting the Colts to field goals)“Going against Peyton, obviously, it’s a tough game. But when he gets down there, to keep him out of the end zone is big. We still probably could have blocked two of those field goals.”

(on the Texans pass rush) “It all goes back to digging yourself a hole. Whenever you are 14-0 against a team like that, they’re whole playbook is open. You know, it’s still Peyton Manning so he’s going to throw the ball, but it’s keeping a sharp balance a little bit, especially when he’s throwing the ball that quickly. It was definitely three-step drops and a lot of quick passes. But it was something we expected.”

SCORING

The Texans couldn’t repeat their winning formula from Week 1 in a rematch with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football.

Instead of pounding the ball with their running game, they fell behind early and had to air it out. That played right into the hands of DE Dwight Freeney and the Colts, who put relentless pressure on Texans QB Matt Schaub to key a 30-17 Colts victory at Lucas Oil Stadium on a night when the Texans’ defense kept Peyton Man-ning mostly in check.

The Texans went 0-for-6 on third down in the first half to dig themselves into a 17-3 hole from which there was no climbing out.

Schaub was sacked three times, twice by Freeney, and finished 22-of-38 passing for 201 yards. He threw one touchdown to Andre Johnson and one touchdown to the Colts – a 25-yard interception return by Kelvin Hayden in the second quarter.

Texans RB Arian Foster, who had 231 rushing yards against Indy in Week 1, finished with 102 rushing yards and a touchdown on 15 carries (6.2 average). He also had 65 receiving yards on nine catches. Johnson led the Texans with seven catches for 106 yards.

The game played out as almost the complete opposite of the Tex-ans’ Week 1 34-24 victory over the Colts at Reliant Stadium.

Schaub threw only 17 passes in the first game and handed the ball off to his running backs 39 times. He threw 38 passes in this one and handed the ball off 17 times.

The Texans never trailed in Week 1 and led by at least 10 for most of the second half. The Colts never trailed on Monday night, and the closest the Texans got in the second half was within 10 points.

Manning was held to 285 passing yards and two touchdowns on Monday, far less than the 433 passing yards they had in the opener, but the Texans didn’t force any turnovers.

In addition, Houston was one of only nine teams to have a winning road record in 2009 (5-3) and is 7-4 in its 2009-10 road games.

HOUSTON’S PROLIFIC PASSING ATTACK

Houston is one of seven NFL teams that can tout a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in its running back stable. RB Steve Slaton rushed for 1,282 yards as a rookie in 2008 and RB Derrick Ward rushed for 1,025 yards for the New York Gi-ants, also in 2008.

Houston Texans owner Bob McNair has built an organi-zational infrastructure that has helped place his franchise among the world’s most valuable sports franchises. The Texans rank tenth on Forbes’ 2010 list of the 10 Most Valu-able Teams In Sports with an estimated worth of $1.15 bil-lion. Houston ranks sixth in the NFL in value, according to the list.

Perhaps most impressive is the fact that the Texans are the only team on the list founded in the 21st century.

TEXANS SHOWING THEIR VALUE

Houston has two coaches remaining from the inaugural season. Running backs coach Chick Harris and special teams coordinator Joe Marciano are the lone holdovers from the 2002 staff and have been present for all 167 pre-season and regular season Texans games.

THE ORIGINAL TEXANS

With the loss of the last original Texan, K Kris Brown, WR Andre Johnson has assumed the role of elder statesman for the Texans franchise.

Johnson, the team’s first-round draft pick and third over-all selection in the 2003 NFL Draft, is the only Texan who played for the team prior to the 2006 season, prior to head coach Gary Kubiak’s tenure in Houston. He is currently third on the all-time games played list for the Texans with 105 and will become just the third player to play eight sea-sons with the team in 2010.

DRE CLAIMS SENIORITY


GARY KUBIAK NOTES

Since being hired in 2006, head coach Gary Kubiak has stressed the importance of having a strong running game, and the evidence on the field has proven that philosophy to be true throughout his tenure.

The Texans have outrushed their opponents 37 times un-der Kubiak, and they are 27-10 in those games, including 3-2 this year. Houston outrushed Indianapolis 257-44 in the 2010 season opener, the largest differential in rushing yards against an opponent in the Kubiak Era.

OUT-RUSHING TO JUDGEMENT

Under head coach Gary Kubiak, the Texans have made running the ball effectively a priority, and that philosophy has been proven in the team’s win-loss record over the last four-plus years.

When Houston has run the ball 30 or more times over the last three seasons, the team is 21-2. By contrast, Houston is 3-26 when rushing less than 25 times.

TEXANS IN A RUSH TO WIN

One of head coach Gary Kubiak’s themes with his team has been the importance of winning the turnover battle. Since 2006 under Kubiak, the Texans have won the turn-over battle 22 times. Houston is 19-3 in those games.

Houston had a minus-one turnover ratio in 2009, giving the ball away 28 times and forcing 27 turnovers. The Tex-ans are 1-0 this year when winning the turnover battle.

GARY KUBIAK NOTES

When head coach Gary Kubiak was hired in 2006, he brought with him an offensive philosophy based on a strong running game and a precision passing attack.

Since 2006, the Texans have the second-most accurate passing offense in the NFL. Texans quarterbacks have combined to complete 66.6 percent of their passes, which is the highest in the league in that time.

TEXANS ON THE MARK

The improved pass protection of the offensive line has been a key reason the Houston passing attack has been one of the most dangerous in the NFL under head coach Gary Kubiak over the last three-plus seasons.

Since 2007, Texans quarterbacks have been sacked 98 times on 2,011 pass plays, or a mere 4.87 percent of the time. That sack percentage is the seventh-best in the NFL over the last four years.

IMPROVED PASS PROTECTION

There certainly is no lack of NFL experience on the Tex-ans’ sidelines. Head coach Gary Kubiak’s coaching staff consists of nine former players with a combined total of 71 seasons played in the NFL. The group is also one of eight NFL teams with a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Offensive Assistant Bruce Matthews) on staff. Only San Francisco has more coaches on staff with NFL playing ex-perience than the Texans:

TEXANS OFFENSIVE OVERVIEW

Record-setting performances in the run and pass game have the Texans’ offense ranked third in the AFC and sev-enth in the NFL in total offense, averaging 367.0 yards per game. Houston ranks sixth in the league with 136.0 rushing yards per game and 13th in passing with 231.0 yards per game.

The Texans emphasized improvement in the run game following the 2009 season and have come through in 2010. Houston has rushed for more than 200 yards in a game twice this season, something it had done only once in the eight seasons prior. Against Indianapolis in Week 1, the Texans rushed for a team-record 257 yards behind RB Arian Foster’s team-record 231 yards on the ground.

A week later, Houston showed that it hadn’t exactly abandoned the passing game, setting a team record with 468 net passing yards. QB Matt Schaub completed 38-of-52 passes for 497 yards, the 12th-highest total in NFL histo-ry, and three touchdowns in an overtime win at Washing-ton. The Texans rolled up 526 yards of total offense in the game, the second-most in team history, and WRs Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter both had more than 10 catches for more than 100 yards in the game, a first in team history.

The offensive line showed it’s physicality in the opener to lead the ground charge. RT Eric Winston, who has an-chored the offensive line with 60 consecutive starts, was joined by LT Duane Brown, free agent signee LG Wade Smith, C Chris Myers, the RG rotation of Antoine Caldwelland Mike Brisiel, and veteran FB Vonta Leach collectively dominated the second half of the opener.

Johnson leads the team and ranks fifth in the AFC with 594 yards receiving and went over the 8,000-yard mark for his career and caught his 600th career reception against Washington. He became the third-fastest player in NFL history to reach 600 receptions, doing it in his 104th career game. Johnson finished the 2009 season with 101 catches for an NFL-best 1,569 yards and a career-high nine touch-downs. He became just the second receiver in NFL history to post back-to-back 1,500-yard seasons and was also the second receiver to lead the league in receiving yards in consecutive seasons.

Foster ranks second in the NFL with 737 yards rushing and 982 yards from scrimmage. The second-year back also leads the NFL with 55 first downs gained.

Pro Bowl TE Owen Daniels made a successful return from the knee injury that sidelined him for half the 2009 season and has 16 catches for 200 yards.

While Foster has seen a bulk of the carries in 2010, RBs Steve Slaton and Derrick Ward have both shown flashes of why each has a 1,000-yard rushing season under their belts. Ward is second on the team with 146 yards rushing and scored a touchdown in three consecutive games for the first time in his career.

OFFENSIVE OVERVIEW

QUARTERBACKSThe Texans offense lies in the capable hands of 2010 Pro

Bowl MVP Matt Schaub once again this season. Schaub ranks fifth in the AFC in completion percentage (63.4) and 1,739 passing yards. All totaled, Schaub has completed 149-of-235 passes for 1,739 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.

In Week 2 at Washington, Schaub threw for a team record 497 yards on 38-of-52 passing to help the Texans to the team’s first overtime win. It was the 12th-highest passing total in NFL history.

The seventh-year signal caller has also led his team back from a pair of double-digit fourth quarter deficits. He led the team back from 10 points down at Washington in Week 2 and again in Week 6 against Kansas City.

Schaub posted elite numbers in 2009, which marked his first season starting all 16 games as a pro. He ranked among the league’s top five passers in six categories and his 4,770 passing yards not only led the league, but were also the sixth-most in NFL history. Schaub also led the league in attempts (583) and completions (396). His 67.9 completion percentage was fourth in the league, and he ranked fifth in yards per attempt (8.18) and passing touchdowns (29). His 98.6 passer rating ranked seventh.

Schaub was the starting quarterback for the AFC in the 2010 Pro Bowl and earned Most Valuable Player honors af-ter setting the Pro Bowl record with a passer rating of 151.3, throwing for 189 yards and two touchdowns.

In three-plus seasons as the Texans starter, Schaub has thrown for 11,091 yards with a team-record 60 touchdowns and 38 interceptions. Schaub has posted a quarterback rat-ing of 93.8 since joining the team, which is by far the highest in franchise history among quarterbacks with at least 200 pass attempts.

Dan Orlovsky won the backup job in the 2010 preseason. Orlovsky signed with the Texans during the opening week-end of free agency following the 2008 season. He started seven games in 2008 for the Detroit Lions, completing 143-of-255 passes for 1,616 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Former Heisman Trophy winner and fifth-year veteran Matt Leinart was signed with the Texans following the 2010 preseason. Leinart started 17 times and played in 29 games in his four years in Arizona, throwing for 3,893 yards and 14 touchdowns. He will compete for the backup spot as he ac-climates to his new offense.

RUNNING BACKSSecond-year RB Arian Foster, who came on strong late

in 2009, burst onto the NFL rushing scene with the greatest rushing performance in Texans history in the season opener against the Colts. Foster set team records with 33 carries for 231 yards and tied a team record with three rushing

OFFENSE POSITION-BY-POSITION



touchdowns. Foster’s breakout day marked the second-best season-opening rushing performance in NFL history (O.J. Simpson, 250 yards in 1973).

Foster, who was undrafted coming out of Tennessee, is second in the NFL with 737 yards rushing on 130 carries (5.7 average) and also ranks second in yards from scrimmage with 982 yards. Foster is fourth among NFL running backs with 28 receptions for 245 yards and has an NFL-best 55 first downs gained. He has eight total touchdowns is ranks third in the NFL in scoring among non-kickers.

Foster spent the first 10 weeks of 2009 on the Texans’ prac-tice squad but came on strong once he was elevated to the active roster, finishing fourth on the squad with 256 yards rushing. Foster had back-to-back standout performances to close the 2009 season, rushing for 97 yards and a touch-down at Miami (12/27/09) and following that up with a 119-yard, two-touchdown performance in the season finale vs. New England (1/3/10).

Despite missing the last five games of 2009 with a shoul-der injury, RB Steve Slaton led the team in rushing for the second straight year with 437 yards on the ground. Now healthy, Slaton presents a favorable option in the backfield and ranks third on the team with 93 yards rushing.

The Texans bolstered their backfield with the addition of veteran RB Derrick Ward immediately following the pre-season. Ward led the Giants in with 1,409 combined yards in 2008, rushing for 1,025 yards (5.6 average)and catching 41 passes for 384 yards. He spent the 2009 season with Tampa Bay. Ward has experienced a resurgence in Houston, scor-ing touchdowns in three straight games for the first time in his career.

He ranks second on the team with 146 yards on 19 car-ries (7.7 average). In Week 4 at Oakland, Ward rushed for

80 yards on 12 carries, including a 33-yard touchdown run in the first quarter for his first points as a Texan. He has two touchdowns on the season.

FB Vonta Leach has played in all 66 games he’s been with the Texans since joining the team mid-way through the 2006 season and has developed a reputation as one of the best blocking backs in the NFL. Head coach Gary Kubiak called Leach’s performance in the 2010 season opener the best he’d seen from the seventh-year vet as he helped clear the way for Foster’s record day. Leach has also proven to be a reliable receiver out of the backfield with 74 career recep-tions for 509 yards and four touchdowns.

WIDE RECEIVERSThe Texans receiving corps, led by All-Pro Andre John-

son, continues to be one of the deepest and most danger-ous groups in the NFL. Johnson was inactive in Week 4 at Oakland with an ankle injury but bounced back in Week 5 against the Giants to pull in five receptions for a team-best 95 yards. His two touchdown catches in 2010 have come when the Texans needed it most, forcing overtime in Week 2 against Washington and snaring the game-winning score against Kansas City in Week 6 with 28 seconds remaining in the game.

Johnson leads the team with594 yards receiving and 39 re-ceptions. He tied a team record with 12 receptions and had 158 yards receiving, 34 of which came on the game-tying score, in the Week 2 win at Washington. He is averaging 99.0 yards per game this season and is eighth in the NFL in receiving yards despite missing one game with an injury.

Johnson led the league in receiving yards for the second consecutive year in 2009 with 1,569 and caught a career-high nine touchdown passes. Johnson has 611 career re-ceptions for 8,298 yards and 43 touchdowns. Since 2006, Johnson has been the most productive receiver in the NFL, averaging 90.0 yards per game.

Kevin Walter starts opposite Johnson for the fourth straight year and ranks second on the team with 22 recep-tions for 266 yards and a team-best three touchdowns. In 2009, Walter caught 53 passes for 611 yards and two touch-downs. Since joining the Texans in 2006, Walter has caught 217 passes for 2,736 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Fourth-year pro Jacoby Jones has become more involved in the offense in 2010, adding to his versatility as a returner on special teams. Jones hauled in a career-high six passes against Washington, including a crucial third down conver-sion in overtime. He ranks fourth on the team with 20 recep-tions for 196 yards and a touchdown despite missing Week 5 with a calf injury.

Jones caught a career-high 27 passes for 437 yards and finished second on the team with six touchdown catches. In four seasons, Jones has caught 65 passes for 863 yards and six touchdowns.

David Anderson turned in the best season of his young ca-reer in 2009. The fifth-year receiver out of Colorado State

Arian Foster set Texans rushing records with 33 carries for 231 yards and tied a team record with three touch-downs in the season opener against Indianapolis.



caught 38 passes for 370 yards, both career highs. Since being picked in the seventh round in 2006, Anderson has caught 71 passes for 770 yards and three touchdowns. He has two receptions for seven yards on the season.

Seventh-round draft pick, WR Dorin Dickerson out of Pitts-burgh, will be the new face in the group. Dickerson played the latter half of his college career at tight end, setting school records for touchdown receptions at that position. He has since shown the speed to play wide receiver in the NFL, while also maintaining some of the size and blocking ability that made him an elite collegiate tight end.

TIGHT ENDSThe tight end position was dealt a tough blow in 2009 with

the loss of Pro Bowler Owen Daniels to a season-ending knee injury in Houston’s Week 8 win at Buffalo. Daniels was on pace for a career year, with 40 catches for 519 yards and five touchdowns through eight games.

Daniels has steadily improved each week and is getting closer every game showed Pro Bowl form in Week 6 against Kansas City with a season-high 79 yards on five recep-tions. He currently has 16 receptions for 200 yards. In five seasons, he has caught 223 passes for 2,701 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was elevated to the active roster from the Active PUP List the last week of the 2010 preseason.

The loss of Daniels in 2009 certainly affected the offense but was lessened as Joel Dreessen emerged as a viable receiving threat in his own right in Daniels’ absence. Drees-seen has already tied a season career high with two touch-down receptions in 2010. Dreessen leads the team with 15.5 yards per catch (8-124) and led the Texans with five recep-tions for 73 yards in Week 4 at Oakland. He made a clutch catch in overtime in Week 2 against Washington, pulling down his first reception of the season, a 28-yarder that set up the game-winning field goal. Dreessen played in all 16 games for the second straight season and caught 26 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown. Since joining the Texans in 2007, Dreessen has caught 49 passes for 576 yards and five touchdowns.

Second-year TE James Casey is a sure-handed option with with surprising speed. Casey has the ability to line up anywhere on the field and caught six passes for 64 yards in his rookie year. He set a Texans preseason record with eight receptions against Tampa Bay on September 2. He has played primarily on special teams and has recorded career highs for special teams tackles.

The Texans added fourth-round draft pick Garrett Graham. Graham set a Wisconsin school record for tight ends with 16 career touchdown receptions to go along with 121 catches and 1,492 yards. He started 33-of-40 games played for Wis-consin and earned First Team All-Big Ten Conference se-lections as a junior and senior.

OFFENSIVE LINEThe Texans offensive line paved the way for the most pro-

lific season in franchise history in 2009 and may be re-setting records in 2010. In 2009, Houston’s passing attack led the league, averaging 290.9 yards per game. The unit is doing the same for the NFL’s No. 7 offense through Week 8, averaging 367.0 yards per game. The line used the 2010 season opener to show it’s physicality, opening holes for Arian Foster’s re-cord rushing day and 257 total rushing yards and has paved the way for the NFL’s fifth-ranked rushing offense at 136.0 yards per game.

Houston’s line has already led the way for a pair of 200-yard rushing days through four games (257 vs. Indianapolis and 249 at Oakland), something the team had only done once in the eight years prior.

Fifth-year veteran Chris Myers has started 39 straight games at center, playing through injury, and has earned praise from head coach Gary Kubiak for his play throughout the season.

Mike Brisiel, who is coming off a left foot injury that placed him on injured reserve in 2009, rotates at right guard with Antoine Caldwell. Caldwell has the ability to play any of the three interior line positions and made three starts at right guard during his rookie campaign and saw action in 11 total games a year ago.

Brisiel and Caldwell both impressed head coach Gary Ku-biak with their play during the preseason. The competition was so tight at the right guard position that Kubiak didn’t announce a starter in his final preseason press confer-ence. Caldwell started the first two games of the season and again in Week 6 after Brisiel was inactive with a knee injury. Caldwell also started last week against Indianapolis.

At RT, Eric Winston has started 62 consecutive games for the Texans. Winston, a third-round pick in the 2006 draft, has started every game over the last four seasons and is consid-ered one of the best right tackles in the league.

Fifth-year veteran Rashad Butler was the primary backup at both tackle spots in 2009 and made his first career start in Week 3 against Dallas and started the following three gams.

Veteran newcomer G Wade Smith starts at LG. Smith played the majority of his snaps with the Kansas City Chiefs (2008-09) at right guard and center and worked primarily at tackle with the New York Jets (2006-07). The former third-round selection of Miami in 2003 has played in 78 career games with 38 starts, including three starts at left guard this season.

Duane Brown, Houston’s first-round pick in 2008, has started all 35 games of his career at left tackle. After splitting reps as a rookie, Brown played nearly every offensive snap in 2009, missing only a few series in the second half at St. Louis (12/20) in Week 15. He returned from a four-game suspension against Indianapolis.

Kasey Studdard, the team’s sixth-round pick in the 2007 draft started 14 games in 2009 and saw his first action of the season in Week 6 against Kansas City.


ARIAN FOSTER NOTES

RB Arian Foster is in good but rare com-pany with the numbers he has posted running the ball.

Foster is one of just three players in NFL history to accumulate more than 500 rushing yards and 100 yards receiving in the season’s first four games. Foster

had 537 yards rushing and 152 yards receving through the first four games of the season to give him a league-best 689 yards from scrimmage. Only Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith and Billy Sims join Foster in accomplishing the feat.

Foster

RB Arian Foster is one of seven running backs to have a reception of 50 yards or longer in the NFL this year. Foster and Chicago’s Matt Forte are the only players to have a reception and rush for 50 yards or more in the NFL this year.

Foster is tied for fourth among NFL running backs with 28 receptions this season.

HE CAN CATCH, TOO

RB Arian Foster’s September was one for the ages. The undrafted second-year back has his jersey hanging in the Hall of Fame, his name at the top of the Texans rushing record list, leads the NFL in rushing yards and total yards from scrimmage and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week and FedEx Ground Player of the Week in Week 1 and AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September.

WR Andre Johnson’s two touchdown catches this sea-son have essentially been the difference between 4-3 and 2-5 for the Texans, tying the game against Washington in the fourth quarter and providing the winning margin in the Week 6 win against Kansas City.

But that’s nothing new for Johnson. Fifteen of Johnson’s 45 career touchdown receptions

have come when the team is trailing by seven points or less.

Since 2009, Johnson has pulled in 43 passes for 643 yards and four touchdowns (tied for the league-best) when his team has been down by seven points or less. Only Reggie Wayne has more receptions and yards (49-715) in those situations since 2009.

Andre Johnson has been arguably the most dominant re-ceiver in the NFL since head coach Gary Kubiak was hired in 2006. Johnson’s production really exploded, however, when QB Matt Schaub took charge in 2007.

In the last four seasons, Johnson has averaged 97.6 yards per game. In the four seasons prior to Schaub’s ar-rival, Johnson averaged just 64.8 yards per game.

SCHAUB MAKING HIMSELF AT HOME

QB Matt Schaub has been outstanding on the road in the last three years. In 17 games since 2008, he has completed 67.1 percent of his passes and has thrown for 4,753 yards and 26 touchdowns. Schaub’s average of 291.4 yards per game on the road is the best in the NFL in that time.

Schaub guided the Texans to a franchise-record 5-3 road record in 2009. In Houston’s eight away games, Schaub passed for 2,273 yards and 13 touchdowns with only seven interceptions. That equates to a passer rating of 100.6.

AT HOME ON THE ROAD

QB Matt Schaub set the franchise single-season mark for most 300-yard games in 2008 with four. In 2009, he more than doubled that total, racking up a nine 300-yard games.

Schaub’s nine 300-yard games in 2009 were tied for the third-most in NFL history, trailing only Rich Gannon (2002) and Drew Brees (2008) who each had 10.

TEXANS OFFENSIVE NOTES

WR Kevin Walter and TE Owen Dan-iels have emerged as two of the Texans top receiving threats since both joined the team in 2006. Only WR Andre John-son ranks ahead of the pair in recep-tions, yards and receiving touchdowns in that time.

The two currently rank second and third on Houston’s all-time receptions and receiving yardage lists and are third and fourth on the franchise receiving touchdowns list, often alternating plac-es on those lists on a weekly basis.

Daniels currently ranks second on the all-time receptions list with 223. Walter

is second on Houston’s receiving yardage list with 2,736.

FOR THE RECORD

RB Derrick Ward joined the Texans fol-lowing the preseason and has quickly become one of the offense’s biggest contributors, ranking second on the team with 146 yards rushing and scored touch-downs in three straight games, a career first.

It’s only the third time a Texan running back has rushed for a touchdown in three consecutive games (Domanick Williams, six games in 2004; Ron Dayne, three games in 2006).

RESURGENT WARD

This is the way it was supposed to be: Texans offensive linemen C Chris Myers, RT Eric Winston and LT Rashad Butler all starting in the front five...six years ago.

Houston’s center and bookend tackles all played at the University of Miami at the same time and were projected to be on the same starting offensive line in 2004 until a set of unfortunate circumstances disrupted the plans.

Myers started all of 2004 at right tackle for the Hurricanes, while Winston, largely considered one of the best linemen in the country at the time, started at left tackle to begin his junior season.

Butler started the season with an injury and did not play until the fourth game of the year. In that same game, against Georgia Tech, Winston’s season ended with an ACL injury. Butler ended up start-ing the rest of the 2004 season at left tackle.

Myers graduated the following spring, ending for certain any chance of the trio starting together. When the three former Hurricanes started against Dallas on Week 3, it was a moment six years in the making.

TEXANS OFFENSIVE NOTES

LT Rashad Butler has gone from the brink of a forced early retirement to a pivotal role in the NFL’s fourth-ranked offense.

Originally a third-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in 2006, Butler did not see the field as a rookie and was waived in 2007. The Panthers let Butler go because for a reason they couldn’t determine, he rapidly began losing weight. Butler dropped from over 300 pounds to under 280, losing as much as 10 pounds over a two-day period.

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic inflammation of the digestive tract and is characterized by abdominal pain and diar-rhea. Like Crohn’s disease, another common IBD, ulcer-ative colitis can be debilitating and sometimes can lead to life-threatening complications. There’s no known cure for ulcerative colitis, but therapies are available that may dramatically reduce the signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis and even bring about a long-term remission.

Because Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center, the Texans were able to take Butler to some of the top physicians in the world. Once his condition was diag-nosed, the doctors placed him on a medication program to help him regain his appetite and energy. He remains on that regimen today.“At first, when it was not diagnosed, it was really hard be-cause I didn’t know what was going on. I never had any-thing of this magnitude happen to me. But once everything was diagnosed and they got me on the medication I was supposed to get on, it wasn’t hard at all. My appetite came back really quick; my energy level came back really quick; my strength jumped up, so after that, it wasn’t hard at all.”

- Rashad Butler, Sept. 22

BUTLER’S JOURNEY

Offensive lineman often don’t get the recognition they deserve and the same goes for fullbacks. Texans FB Vonta Leach has been a key component in helping RB Arian Foster set a franchise record with 231 yards against Indianapo-lis in Week 1 and lead the NFL rushing through Week 3.

His performance against Indianapolis didn’t go unno-ticed by head coach Gary Kubiak.

“Well, (Leach) was voted co-MVP of the game,” Kubiak said on Monday. “That’ll tell you how he played. With him and Arian together, it was the best I’ve seen Vonta play and I’ve seen him play some dang good games...He kind of makes us go when he’s playing that way, physical on the isolations and those types of things. It kind of gets us going. He is the personality to help our team get going. Among many guys, it was an excellent performance on his part.”

In addition to his blocking, Leach has done well receiving out of the backfield with five receptions for 56 yards.

The Texans closed out September with a loss, but ended up having the most-successful season-opening month on offense in the team’s history.

Houston averaged more gross yards passing (281.7), rushing yards (146.3) and total offense (407.0) than in any other opening month in team history.

PRETTY GOOD MONTH


TEXANS DEFENSE

Houston’s defense in 2010 continues to search for the week-to-week improvement it showed in 2009. From Week 4 onward last year, Frank Bush’s group ranked fourth in the league in total defense and ninth in scoring defense after ranking last in the league the first three weeks. This year, Houston has struggled against the pass and is look-ing to turn that around in similar fashion.

One of the biggest keys to any successful defense is a strong group of leaders. Following the loss of MLB DeM-eco Ryans, the player his teammates refer to as ‘Captain,’ the burden of leadership on defense falls to fellow 2006 draft pick Mario Williams and a pair of second-year Tex-ans, DE Antonio Smith and SS Bernard Pollard.

Williams, the top pick in the 2006 Draft, is one of the pre-mier pass rushers in the NFL and has 44.5 career sacks to his name. The addition of Smith to the defensive line in 2009 helped Houston put more pressure on the quar-terback. Smith, who tied for second on the team with 4.5 sacks a year ago, often slides inside on passing downs.

On the inside, the combination of fourth-year DT Amobi Okoye and free agent DT Shaun Cody helped the Texans tie for 10th in rushing defense a year ago. They are work-ing to return this year’s group to that level, as it currently ranks 14th against the run.

At linebacker, fourth-year WLB Zac Diles has developed into one of the biggest steals of the 2007 draft class. Diles has started at both outside linebacker positions in his career and is second on the team in tackles with 55 total stops.

2009 Defensive Rookie of the Year Brian Cushing made his return to the field in Week 5 against the New York Gi-ants after sitting out the first four games. Cushing led the team with 133 tackles last year and had four sacks, four interceptions and two forced fumbles. With Ryans out, Cushing made the move inside and has taken on the re-sponsibility of calling the plays in the huddle.

The secondary is led by Pollard, who quickly became the emotional leader of the defense last year. Pollard added a physical presence on the back end after signing with the Texans in Week 3 of 2009. Pollard is the team’s leading tackler in 2010 with 65 stops through seven games.

Houston’s pass defense in 2010 will depend on the play of a young, but talented, group of cornerbacks. Glover Quinhas the most experience of the group with 15 starts to his name. Rookie first-round draft pick Kareem Jackson will man the opposite side of the field. The former Alabama star hopes to bring his championship-winning ways with him to the NFL.

DEFENSIVE OVERVIEW

DEFENSIVE ENDSLeading the way on the defensive line once again is Ma-

rio Williams, who earned his second consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl in 2009. Williams has 5.0 sacks, five tack-les for loss, 12 quarterback hits, a forced fumble and two passes defensed this year. Williams is the franchise’s ca-reer sack leader with 44.5.

Williams has more help than ever when it comes to rush-ing the passer this year, thanks in large part to Antonio Smith, who joined the Texans as a free agent last year after helping the Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII. Smith is a physical end who is off to a strong start in 2010 with 2.5 sacks, including a career-high 2.0 in Week 4 at Oakland.

Jesse Nading, who made the opening-day roster for the first time this season, is the primary backup at both end positions and often comes on in passing situations when Smith moves to tackle. Nading picked up his first career sack in the season opener vs. Indianapolis (9/12), team-ing with Williams to sack Colts QB Peyton Manning late in the game.

Houston signed a pair of veterans in recent weeks to complement the pass rush. Adewale Ogunleye, an 11th-year vet, is an experienced pass rusher with 67.0 career sacks for Miami and Chicago.

Mark Anderson joined the Texans in Week 4 and picked up his first sack as a Texan in Week 8 at Indianapolis (11/1). Anderson has recorded 21.5 career sacks, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. As a rookie in 2006, Anderson notched 12.0 sacks en route to Super Bowl XLI.

DEFENSE POSITION-BY-POSITION

DE Antonio Smith recorded 4.5 sacks in his first season as a Texan in 2009.


TEXANS DEFENSEPOSITION-BY-POSITION

DEFENSIVE TACKLESDefensive tackle Amobi Okoye bounced back from a dis-

appointing second season and became a more consistent contributor in 2009, setting a career high with 38 tackles, including 26 solo stops, and added 1.5 sacks. Okoye leads all Texans defensive linemen with 23 tackles this year, in-cluding one sack.

Houston bolstered the interior of the line last year by signing Shaun Cody away from Detroit as a free agent, and it proved to be a brilliant decision. Cody immediately solid-ified the middle of Houston’s defensive line. He recorded 21 tackles, including 12 solo stops, and 0.5 sacks in his first season as a Texan, helping the defense become one of the league’s most stout against the run.

The Texans bolstered their line in the 2010 NFL Draft, se-lecting Arizona’s Earl Mitchell in the third round. Mitch-ell, at 6-3, 291, continued Houston’s trend of seeking out quicker defensive linemen. He quickly developed a repu-tation in training camp as a player with a high motor. That energy helped him earn All-Pac 10 honors at Arizona.

During the bye week, Houston signed free agent DT Da-mione Lewis, who spent the last four seasons with the Carolina Panthers. The Sulphur Springs, Texas native has 22.5 career sacks, four forced fumbles and five fumble re-coveries in his 10-year career.

Malcolm Sheppard rounds out the defensive tackle corps after being promoted from the Texans practice squad in Week 8. Sheppard, an undrafted free agent from the University of Arkansas, started 38 games and earned All-SEC honors twice for the Razorbacks.

LINEBACKERSThe Texans linebacking corps took a major hit with the

loss of fifth-year MLB DeMeco Ryans in Week 6. Ryans is the captain and unquestioned leader of the defense, and earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl following the 2009 season. He became the first player in franchise history to record 500 career tackles in Week 15 of 2009, leads the NFL with 425 solo tackles since 2006 and has registered 10 or more tackles in 26 of his 69 career games.

The defense received a big boost in Week 5 with the return of Brian Cushing, who missed the first four games due to suspension. Cushing started every game his rookie season and finished second in the AFC with a team-lead-ing 133 tackles. He will take on added responsibility in his second season, sliding into the middle to fill the void created by Ryans’ injury. Cushing will be responsible for calling the defensive plays in the huddle and keeping his teammates organized on the field.

WLB Zac Diles rebounded from a broken leg that ended his 2008 campaign to play in all 16 games for the first time in his career in 2009 and finished last year with 61 tackles, including 45 solo stops, and seven tackles for loss. Head coach Gary Kubiak offered high praise for Diles this off-season, saying that he believes Diles is on the verge of be-coming a Pro Bowl-caliber linebacker. Diles has validated that belief early on with 41 tackles through five games.

Special teams standout and ninth-year veteran Kevin Bentley will step into the SAM linebacker position follow-ing Cushing’s move into the middle. Bentley has starting experience in Houston, having started the final seven games of the 2008 season at SAM after Diles broke his leg. Bentley’s teammates elected him as captain on special teams in 2009 and again this year. He has led the team in special teams tackles each of the previous two seasons.

The player who stepped up the most in Cushing’s place was third-year linebacker Xavier Adibi. Adibi played in all 16 games in a reserve role last year and finished with three total tackles. He started three of the first four games and registered 10 tackles with the first-team defense.

New to the Texans is fourth-round draft pick Darryl Sharpton. Sharpton started 30 of the 52 games he played at the University of Miami at three different linebacking positions.

Houston signed third-year pro Stanford Keglar in Week 8 following the loss of Ryans. An Indianapolis native, Keglar made his Texans debut against the Colts on November 1. He played in 25 games for the Tennessee Titans in his first two seasons.

DT Amobi Okoye started all 16 games for the first time in his career in 2009.


DEFENSEPOSITION-BY-POSITION

CORNERBACKSThe Texans have one of the youngest starting corner-

back duos in the NFL this season with second-year man Glover Quin and rookie Kareem Jackson manning the two starting positions. A fourth-round draft pick in 2009, Quin moved into the starting lineup in Week 4 vs. Oakland (10/4) and started 12 games in 2009. He finished fourth on the team with 64 tackles and had a team-high 11 passes de-fensed in his rookie campaign.

The Texans selected Jackson in the first round with the 20th overall selection following his junior season with 2009 BCS National Champion Alabama. Jackson registered his first career interception in Week 5 vs. the New York Gi-ants, returning the pick 23 yards.

Another rookie from a year ago, Brice McCain, a sixth-round draft pick in 2009, played a vital role in the team’s pass defense. McCain played in all 16 games with two starts and had 11 solo tackles, three passes defensed and an interception.

Antwaun Molden excelled on special teams as a rookie in 2008 but has seen each of his first two seasons cut short by injury. Molden has played in 19 games and was select-ed to USA Today’s All-Joe Team in 2008.

The Texans also selected Northwestern University CB Sherrick McManis in the fifth round of the draft. McMa-nis has shined in limited playing time thus far this season, making his first career interception in Week 5 against the New York Giants.

Houston signed veteran corner Karl Paymah on Sept. 29. Paymah has played in 73 games with seven starts and has 74 career tackles, three interceptions and 14 passes defensed.

SAFETIESBernard Pollard joined the Texans as a free agent in the

third week of 2009 and finished third on the team with a career-high 102 tackles and tied for the team lead with four interceptions to go along with 1.5 sacks. Pollard’s in-tense, fiery playing style has rubbed off on his teammates, who elected him as a defensive co-captain this year. He leads the team with 65 tackles through seven games this season.

Veteran FS Eugene Wilson fought through a knee injury suffered in a 2009 preseason game for nine games before before a foot injury ended his season prematurely. Wilson finished the season with 29 tackles and two interceptions.

Troy Nolan, who was taken in the seventh round of the 2009 draft by the Texans, missed his entire rookie season due to a broken arm suffered in the first preseason game of last season. Nolan saw his first extended playing time in Week 4 at Oakland (10/3) and responded with two inter-ceptions and four tackles. He made his first career start a week later against the New York Giants and made a career-high seven tackles.

Second-year safety Dominique Barber took advantage of the opportunity when Wilson went down and started a career-high four games before seeing his season cut one game short due to a hamstring injury in 2009. Barber fin-ished the year with 25 tackles, four passes defensed and one interception. He also scored his first career touch-down in the 2009 season opener on a 48-yard fumble re-turn for touchdown. This season he’ll back up Pollard and will be a vital part of the coverage units on special teams.

CB Glover Quin (29) finished fourth on the team with 64 tackles as a rookie in 2009.

SS Bernard Pollard leads the team with 65 tackles through seven games this season.


MARIO WILLIAMS NOTES

Mario Williams is one of the most disruptive pass rush-ers in the NFL, with 40.0 sacks over the last three-plus seasons. What makes Williams special is that he is one of the best defensive ends in the NFL against the run. His 18.5 tackles for loss since 2007 are the second-most by an AFC defensive lineman.

Williams’ 58.5 total negative plays (sacks and tackles for loss) since 2007 lead all AFC defensive linemen and are tied for the fourth-most in the NFL.

TEXANS RELIANT ON MARIO

Mario Williams has carried the Texans pass rush so far this season, recording 5.0 sacks and 12 quarterback hits. The strong performance is becoming par for the course for Williams.

Williams has been one of the most fearsome pass rush-ers in the NFL since entering the league in 2006. His 44.5 career sacks are tied for the fourth-most in the NFL over the last four-plus seasons.

AMERICA’S TOP ROOKIE

LB Brian Cushing’s stellar play in 2009 not only landed him atop the team’s tackle chart; it also carried him into the top five on the league tackle chart. Cushing was sec-ond among AFC defenders with 133 tackles and was fourth in the league overall.

LB DeMeco Ryans finished fifth in the AFC and 10th over-all with 123 tackles in 2009. The Texans were the only team in the NFL with two players in the top 10 on the league’s tackle chart in 2009.

RACKING UP THE HONORS

LB Brian Cushing was one of Houston’s most reliable and most effective pass rushers in 2009, ranking third on the team with 4.0 sacks in his rookie campaign. He was also one of the best at his position in the NFL when it came to getting to the quarterback.

Among linebackers in 4-3 defenses, Cushing ranked third in sacks in 2009. Only Washington LB Brian Orakpo (11.0) and Detroit LB Julian Peterson (4.5) had more.

DEFENSE NOTES

The Texans defense was nearly held without a sack in the Week 6 win over Kansas City (10/17) before picking up a vital one on the game’s final play. Sacks have become a fairly good indicator of success for the Texans under head coach Gary Kubiak.

Since Kubiak took over in 2006, the Texans are 25-14 when recording at least two sacks in a game and are 13-4 in games with three or more. By contrast, the Texans are 7-14 when registering one sack and are 3-8 when held without a sack.

Houston has recorded at least two sacks in three of its four victories this year. In two of their three losses, the Texans failed to register a sack.

PRESSURE POINTS

Houston has been stout against the run in its first six games this season. With more than a third of the regular season complete, the Texans are allowing 104.3 yards per game.

A longer look back shows that the Texans rush defense has been playing well for quite some time. Since Week 4 of the 2009 season, the Texans defense has been the league’s third-toughest against the run, giving up just 90.6 yards per game on the ground.

GAME AGAINST THE RUN

Through the first five games of the season, Houston’s rushing defense has been solid. While teams have not run the ball very often against the Texans, their running backs have been met with stiff opposition nearly every time.

Houston’s strong play against the run continues a trend that began in Week 4 of the 2009 season. Since that point, the Texans defense is tied for seventh in the NFL in yards per carry allowed, giving up a paltry 3.9 yards per carry.

NOTHING TO GAIN FACING MURDERER’S ROW ON DEFENSE

The Texans defense has given up some big numbers through the first seven games of the year, but a look at who Houston has played shows that those numbers should not be all that surprising.

Four of Houston’s first seven opponents rank in the NFL’s top five in total offense, and a fifth opponent ranks eighth in the league. This Sunday brings no relief as San Diego brings the league’s top-ranked offense into Reliant Sta-dium.

DEFENSE NOTES

Houston’s secondary has been one of the most scruti-nized and sternly tested units in the NFL to start the sea-son. Through seven weeks of play Houson is 32nd against the pass, giving up 306.2 yards per game.

With six games under their belts, the Texans starting cornerback duo still have the second-least experience of any starting tandem in the league. Only New England’s duo of second-year Kyle Arrington and rookie Devin McCourty have less experience. The Patriots rank 30th against the pass, allowing 282.0 per game.

HOUSTON’S KIDDIE CORNERS

DILES IS DYNAMITE

In the season opener vs. Indianapolis (9/12), fourth-year LB Zac Diles led the team with 12 tackles, which was just one shy of his career high. For Diles, a seventh-round pick in 2007, the strong performance was the continuation of a trend.

Diles won the starting job at SLB in his second season and was leading the team with 66 tackles through eight games before a broken leg derailed his year. In 2009, Diles won the starting WLB job and put together another strong year, finishing with 61 tackles, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

This season, he is third on the team with 44 tackles, in-cluding 32 solo tackles.

Rookie Kareem Jackson has received a trial by fire this season, but is more than holding his own.

Rookie CB Kareem Jackson has been under the gun in the early going this season while facing some of the best passers in the NFL, but his play has steadily improved as the season progressed. Jackson leads the Texans de-fense with eight passes defensed, is tied for sixth among corners in the league and is second among rookies.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

K Neil Rackers became just the second kicker in Texans history following training camp, when he won the tightest battle of training camp and took over the kicking duties formerly held by Kris Brown for the last eight seasons.

Rackers hit on 16-of-17 field goal attempts for Arizona last season (94.1 percent) and scored 85 points before an injury forced him to miss the last few weeks of the season. Through seven games this year, he is 10-of-12 (83.3 per-cent) on field goal attempts, including the game-winner in overtime at Washington (9/19).

P Matt Turk has averaged 42.5 yards per punt in his ca-reer and has averaged better than 41 yards per attempt in all but one season. Turk’s 43.3-yard average this year is on pace to set the Texans single-season record for the fourth consecutive season. Only 415 of Turk’s 1,067 career punts (38.9 percent) have been returned.

WR Jacoby Jones holds the Texans career record for punt return average at 10.6 yards per return over the last three seasons. He tied the Texans career record for total returns for touchdown when he scored the third of his ca-reer in 2009.

SPECIAL TEAMS OVERVIEW

KICKERNeil Rackers has made 215 of 274 career field goal at-

tempts (78.5 percent) and converted 310 of 315 career extra points attempts (98.4 percent), giving him 955 total career points in 11 NFL seasons. Rackers set an NFL re-cord for most field goals made in a season in 2005, when he went 40-of-42 (95.2 percent) with the Arizona Cardinals. His 955 career points puts him in 47th place all-time among kickers.

PUNTERMatt Turk averaged a franchise-record 42.8 yards per

punt in 2009, besting his own mark of 42.3 yards per punt in 2008. Turk has broken the team record in each of the last three seasons and is playing in his 15th NFL season.

Over the last four years, only 80 of Turk’s 205 punts (39.0 percent) have been returned. Only the New England Pa-triots have given up fewer returns over that time frame.

PRACTICE GUIDELINES/MEDIA INFORMATION

Designated Media will be allowed at all practices. Dur-ing each practice, the team will use two practice fields. The area between the two practice fields – where the scissor lift is located – is off-limits to media, but media can walk the perimeter of the fields.

Photographers can only cross the covered area if they are accompanied by a Texans PR representative. Photog-raphers can shoot selected portions of practice. Tripods are allowed at practice, however they must be seven yards from the sideline and behind the line of scrimmage at all times. Please do not leave tripods unattended. To not impede the view of the fans at practice, all photographers must kneel when shooting in front of the stands.

Members of the communications staff will be on the field during all practices to assist with any questions. During practices held inside the bubble, all media must stay on the near sideline.
