• The Houston Texans:

The team went into the offseason seemingly only a move or two from finally realizing its potential. Keeping Eugene Wilson was a plus, as was moving backup quarterback Sage Rosenfels for a fourth-round pick. But the Texans took their biggest step of the offseason by adding defensive end Antonio Smith, who had a solid career in Arizona. Smith is balanced against both the run and pass and adds great size to the Texans’ defensive line. He greatly will benefit playing opposite Mario Williams and should up his sack numbers. If Houston can get Amobi Okoye back on track, this could be one of the AFC’s better defensive lines.


I like what they say about Antonio Smith. It's nice to hear some good things about someone we signed to replace Weaver. Hopefully they are right about our D-Line.

Confirmation for guys who dont know bout Smith or was skeptical bout this move. Our DL has a chance to be a major strength besides Mario.

It's March, I'll reserve judgement until I see him in action at the first pre-season game.

is the draft here yet?


If we can pull Philip Hunt out of the 4th Round or even take a chance on Michael Johnson in the 2nd, OR even Brace from Boston College in the 2nd Round I would be more at ease with the line and its "potential".

Now, thats not to say I'm happy with the line now, because I am and this will make QB's restless. It would just be nice to have 3 pass-rushers on your team :D

I hope the D-line steps up this year. I would be happy with Smith having 7 sacks next year. If Smith has 7 Mario will have 14. I am starting a fund to buy Okoye some Muscle Milk or something. I hope he is putting time in the weight room this offseason. Next year is make or break for the guy.

I hear what you're sayin, but remember, he's still a youngster.
