As Joseph Addai pounded it in for the touchdown in the first quarter, it marked the 11th TD on 12 trips into ... os_davis@yahoo.com (Os Davis) Houston Texans 2008-10-07T04:14:37-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/12796 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/12796 After an arm fracture suffered in last week’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and subsequent surgery, the Houston Texans placed safety C.C. Brown on injured reserve. Commentary: Up against a whole lot of history going into the franchise’s 100th game against the weakened, still-dangerous Indianapolis Colts, whom they’re 1-11 against lifetime, the Texans did not need to take this hit.

The preseason is in place to let guys like Williams get some playing time to impress their coaches or raise other teams' eyebrows. Unfortunately, it wasn’t Williams' play that is continuing to draw attention around the NFL this week.

Their defense, of course, is led by former first-day picks Mario Williams, Amobi Okoye and DeMeco Ryans. Where general manager Rick Smith and his predecessor, Charley Casserly, ... armarkowitz@gmail.com (Adam Markowitz) Houston Texans 2008-08-20T04:03:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/12339 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/12339 Around this time a year ago, the Houston Texans were still being criticized for allegedly making the wrong selection with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. Everyone thought that it was a slam dunk that Reggie Bush would be the top choice and become a mainstay in the Texans' backfield, but instead the team turned to North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams as its man. armarkowitz@gmail.com (Adam Markowitz) Houston Texans 2008-08-14T04:51:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/12305 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/12305 What would you say if I told you that the Houston Texans and New England Patriots have something in common? You'd probably call me crazy. However, in the wonderful world that is the National Football League, these two teams also share a bond with the Detroit Lions and Carolina Panthers. What is it? Well, they're the only four clubs in the NFL that haven't had a 1,000-yard rusher in the past ... armarkowitz@gmail.com (Adam Markowitz) Houston Texans 2008-08-08T04:16:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/12084 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/12084 Houston and fourth-round linebacker Xavier Adibi came to terms on a four-year contract July 16. No financial terms of the deal were released. Adibi was one of college football's most productive players while at Virginia Tech. His size (6-foot-2, 224 pounds) was said to be a detriment to him in the draft. Texans rookie contract status as of July 18 1 (26).

He's just not the best on his team's roster. Following up on CBS Sportsline writer Pete Prisco's Top 50 Players in the NFL column, which has generated plenty of its own headlines, McClain, like many others, took exception to the fact that Williams was ranked No. 6. His argument is that WR Andre Johnson (ranked ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Houston Texans 2008-07-10T09:15:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/11805 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/11805 A rumor popped up from a poster on Texans Talk about the possibility of former Longhorns RB Cedric Benson returning to the Lone Star State. It doesn't seem Texans fans share any sort of nostalgia when it comes to Benson's college success. A poster started the thread by saying he has information that could lead one to believe Benson is negotiating a deal with the Texans. Benson, recently ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Houston Texans 2008-06-27T09:37:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/11657 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/11657 Former Patriots LB Roosevelt Colvin signed a contract with Houston on Monday. Terms of the deal were not immediately released, but his agent, Kennard McGuire, said "I think you're going to see Roosevelt Colvin here for a long time." Colvin has 52.5 sacks in nine NFL seasons with the Patriots and Bears. New England released him this offseason in a cap-saving move.

For Amobi Okoye it will signal that he will be legally able to drink in most states, as he'll turn 21 years of age. Commentary: Okoye started high school at age 12 and college at age 16. He also managed to graduate from Louisville in under four years with a degree in psychology, paving the way for him to ... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Houston Texans 2008-06-08T18:37:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/6063 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/6063 The Houston Texans have been busy scheduling visits with free-agent defensive backs, but the 35-year-old Tyrone Poole has put an end to that. Houston signed the 13-year veteran on Tuesday, ending a search that included tryouts from Shaun Williams and Raymond Walls, and a scheduled visit with Derrick Gibson. Commentary: Poole last played for the Raiders in 2006; he appeared in 12 games for ... acarroll@realfootball365.com (Anthony Carroll) Houston Texans 2007-08-14T20:36:29-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/5305 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/5305 What is it that Rick Smith doesn't get about the Houston Texans? After inheriting a team essentially built by former General Manager Charley Casserly and including No. 1 overall pick Mario Williams, Smith saw the Texans give up 43 sacks; this represents about 2.7 per game, but a marked improvement over the disastrous 4.25 per contest allowed in 2005. David Carr did what he could at ... os_davis@yahoo.com (Os Davis) Houston Texans 2007-05-14T03:22:58-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/5205 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/5205 1:57 The "experts" just whined and moaned for five minutes about the pick, but you know what, they do this every single year, and they might be right about half the time. I remember back when the Bengals took Levi Jones, the left tackle out of Arizona State, Kiper and crew just went off on the selection, and said they should have taken Philip Buchanon, the cornerback from Miami. Jones is now ... sorrelltr@hotmail.com (Thomas Sorrell) Houston Texans 2007-04-28T17:08:54-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/5040 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/texans/5040 There's no doubt that the Houston Texans' Wednesday trade to acquire former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub was an intriguing move. However, one has to wonder if it was the right decision by the Texans, who haven't climbed out of the NFL's basement in the first five years of their existence. Truthfully, Houston -- which has a horrendous 24-56 overall record -- overpaid for Schaub in ... cbyrne@realfootball365.com (Connor Byrne) Houston Texans 2007-03-23T03:55:06-05:00
