2008 Houston Texans Football Preview:
The Houston Texans are still looking for their first winning season and their first playoff appearance, but things are by no means boring in Houston this coming season. With vast improvements made each season, and some tough close losses in 2007, the Texans could be poised to make a big impact this year.
The seventh season for the Houston Texans proves to be the most promising one yet, as the team has improved significantly in its fledgling seasons. Last year, the team recorded an 8-8 record, the first ever non-losing season for the Houston. Owner Bob McNair is playing his cards right, and making significant steps to bolster the otherwise young team. A prime investment by McNair was Reliant Stadium, which has sold out every seat for Texans home games since its inception in 2002.
On offense, you can look for Andre Johnson to make his comeback with plenty of eye-grabbing catches and rapport with fellow receivers. The defense is also looking much better every season, and playmakers like linebacker DeMeco Ryans and lineman Mario Williams are going to be a threat for anyone trying to run the ball. Houston could improve its defensive backfield, however, to put more pressure on the pass. Overall, this is going to be one of the best seasons for the Texans, provided that they can stand up to the big boys of the AFC South: Indiana, Jacksonville, and Tennessee. This could be the year that the Houston Texans make their playoff push, so grab some tickets to a game at Reliant Stadium!
