I’m excited because that means more Evil Frank posts are on the way from Matt and more importantly, the real life demise of Travis Johnson’s career as a Texan.

Richard Smith will continue his practice of using an 8 man rotation, which I think is the only way to go. It keeps the linemen as fresh as possible. Okam immediately will be one of the top 4 DT’s and if TJ does not up his game, then he won’t be starting for long. I remember a quote from Kubiak that was directed at TJ before last year saying something like “I don’t care if a guy was a 1st round pick, if he can’t stay healthy and perform in practice, then he won’t be a part of the team”. Travis showed a few flashes last year, but has yet to live up to expectations for his draft slot. He is off to another slow start physically this year, and may be gone by next if he does not improve. Based on his mediocre showing to date, that would be no great loss.

Big Frank will start out 2nd string, but may be starting by midseason. At any rate he and Bulman will get significant playing time.

GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, the big guy in the middle who ties up two offensive linemen, thus freeing Mario Williams, Amobi Okoye, and whoever is lucky enough to line up at the other DE position.
