Houston – There is excitement in the air as the Texans are about to embark on a new era of football. “[Easterby], it’s good to be back in pads and actually playing again” observed a Houston Texans player. We think it was likely a linebacker, as they seem to be a common player around here. Besides, it is the preseason, so who knows if this player will stick around long enough for anyone to care about them anyway.
At the time this goes to press, the Texans will have completed their first preseason game, this time under the eyes and beard of the fifth Head Coach in franchise history: Lovie Smith.
