Found this article on the Sporting News website:

Here's what they said about the Texans (its basically Megan Manfull's take on things)
Texans: RB Ahman Green could change the look of the offense. Last season, the Texans were forced to use a committee of running backs. They didn't find their rhythm until the final month when Ron Dayne was healthy and starting. Green is an ideal back for the system. He's physical, and he has the ability to break away and make big plays. Even though he is 30, Green is still in great shape and likely has another couple seasons left as a starter. His durability is a question, but the Texans have depth behind him in Dayne, Chris Taylor, Wali Lundy and Samkon Gado. Green will be the centerpiece. He is already comfortable in the scheme and terminology because of his days in Green Bay with Mike Sherman, now the Texans' offensive coordinator. The Texans want to run the ball first and see what opens in the passing game. Pressure will rest on Green to make the running game effective.
Interesting that she didn't mention Matt Schaub....
