John Clayton

In johns notes on espn.com, he has this blurb about the Hometowners...

10. The Texans are starting to show signs of life. New QB Matt Schaub, formerly the Falcons' backup, isn't getting sacked, and that's a big confidence boost for the offense. RB Ahman Green, the longtime fixture in Green Bay, is starting to get his explosive game back for his new team. WR Jacoby Jones has brought excitement to the passing game, and a second year in the blocking scheme seems to make the offensive line look better.

The only downside is the defensive line. Despite having drafted four linemen in the first round since 2004, the lack of pressure from the line so far could make former Texans QB David Carr (now with the Carolina Panthers) feel confident about not being sacked versus his old team.

Well I think that he has said the same things everyone else who has written about the Texanns this preseason.

Saw That
That passes as positively glowing praise from the national media.

In a somewhat related story, ESPN.com's Michael Smith said on 97.5 yesterday that he's calling 9-7 for the Texans.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
