--Ron Dayne was disappointed when the Texans signed Ahman Green in the offseason, essentially ending any hopes Dayne had of re-signing as the team's starting back. But he adjusted well, entering camp in better shape than coach Gary Kubiak has seen him in awhile.

Dayne has also adjusted to the idea of running alongside Green. The two will share many of the duties with Green getting about 20-25 carries and Dayne receiving the rest. The likelihood of both veterans holding up across a 16-game stretch is also unlikely, so Dayne is expected to get a few starts this season.

"It's cool," Dayne said. "It kind of reminds me of having Tiki (Barber) with me when I was in New York."

--S Brandon Harrison, the Texans' fifth-round pick, will look to follow in the footsteps of other Stanford safeties who have gone on to have solid careers in the NFL. John Lynch, Tank Williams and Coy Wire all came out of Palo Alto and are still playing in the league.

Lynch is a seven-time Pro Bowler and is the starting strong safety for Denver, Williams signed with Minnesota in the offseason after playing his first four years in Tennessee, and Wire has played his first five seasons in Buffalo.

Harrison has some catching up to do. Because Stanford didn't graduate until the middle of June, he was unable to participate in any of the Texans' offseason workouts or mini camps. He will join the team for the first time in training camp.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"Hey, that guy is amazing. A guy that big that can move like that. I'll steal some of his moves, but don't tell him." -- Rookie wide receiver Jacoby Jones, when asked about working with Andre Johnson.

(POLL) Texans need to get thier mind right and start dialing Vinces agent.  Because if this thing don't work out in Tennessee, I would love to see him where he was supposed to be.  Does anyone agree?

Every time another player signs a long-term deal, it just makes things more expensive for us. Tight-end isn't usually an expensive position, but now that Kellen Winslow signed a monster deal, it gives OD (who will be unrestricted next year) some real leverage.

Now MJD went ahead and signed a huge deal despite never eve ...(more)

i absolutley love our first 3 picks, the 4th round had me confused, but what do i know. Casey in the 5th was down right robbery. if hill pans out and quin does this will easily be our best draft.  Glover made the diamonds in the rough team.

I am looking to put a league together representing all the NFL teams in an online league.  The league would have a formal draft (every player and position so every team would be custom) and play the entire schedule of 16 games.  I am in the process of constructing a website with all the particulars.  If you are interested please respond to this thread and I will contact you pe ...(more)

Jenny Jones and his Cowgirls have chickened out from thier normal preseason game against the Texans at Reliant this year. This would have been a Texans home preseason game this year, as the 2 teams alternate home and away preseason games when they don't meet in the regular season.

I guess Jenny and his 9-7 Cowgirls were afraid of ...(more)

The Texans signed undrafted free agent Jeremiah Johnson. This kid was really good for the ducks. But is he enough? What about "the edge"?

Nobody else started a thread yet?

I guess I'll kick things off.

The first round wasn't really a shocker. I was holding out hope that Jenkins would drop, but predictably, he didn't. It also seemed pretty tough to trade down in the 1st this year; I'm sure they tried, and just couldn't get anybody to bite. That said, it put us in a pretty obvious position: draft a USC LB. Ra

The Houston Texans have made some really great deals out there on the free agent market. But now the question is, is there any other free agents out there that the Texans could pick up before the draft that could help the Texans out even more? There has to be someone out there. They are making there team finally to become contenders, but ...(more)

 Again i believe the Texans did a good job with the draft. The picks i was kinda like well, i think they should of done other wise will probabley as time goes on show that it was the right move. The texans, although non texan fans are unaware, have become probabley one of the smartest organizations on draft day.
