Clay - If the Texans can keep Schaub healthy they will be fighting for a playoff spot. The defense has been improving but the lost of Dunta Robinson might hurt. The schedule is a tough one which may keep them out of the playoffs. 9-7
Nate -Losing Rookie RB Ben Tate for the year hurt, but if Foster or Slaton can be productive the Texans will have one of the best offensives in the league. QB Matt Schaub will throw the ball the most again this year and has plenty of targets, WR’s Andre Johnson, Jacoby Jones, Kevin Walter and TE Owen Daniels. The Defense has 4 stud players, DE Mario Williams, LB’s Brian Cushing and DeMeco Ryans, and S Bernard Pollard. The defensive did improve from 24.5 ppg and 340 ypg in 07 & 08 to 20.8 ppg and 325 ypg last year. Missing Cushing for the first 4 games will hurt but they will rebound and just about make the playoffs again. 9-7
