Bill O'Brien saw consistency and poise in all 3 QBs last night. Each one of them made mistakes but definitely correctable. #Texans

O'Brien bemoans the goal line offense again. Says he'd like to see better attention to detail from his players. #Texans

O'Brien says it's the time of year for more 4th down attempts. It gets extra reps for offense and allows coaches seeing those plays on film.

"He's a good kid. Rookie sometimes, they go through tough times," O'Brien on Louis Nix. #Texans
— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 16, 2015
OBrien on Louis Nix 3 "He had a long rookie year with knee and wrist issue. It's good he's out there. There are a lot of things to improve."
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 16, 2015
O'Brien says Clowney will return to practice in a limited way and ramp up. Walkthroughs, stretch, and individual drills first. #Texans
— Deepi Sidhu (@DeepSlant) August 16, 2015
OBrien "We we need 2b better on special teams. Our punt returns showed flashes, but we have a long way 2 go. We have high expectations."
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 16, 2015
OBrien "Identity of our team has yet to be determined."
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 16, 2015
OBrien "This is a progress league, a league of improvement. We'll do corrections on field. We want them to take corrections on the field."
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 16, 2015
O'Brien on o-line depth: James Ferentz played tough, low, with good technique. #Texans

Practice was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. O'Brien moved it to morning. Wants to get the guys' legs moving early. #Texans

— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 16, 2015
OBrien on Blue "We've always thought he's a good player, a smart guy. He made some nice runs (14, 32 runs). He has things to work on."
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 16, 2015
OBrien "Christian (Covington) played hard. Stayed on his feet, instincts, smart."
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) August 16, 2015
O'Brien says Su'a-Filo's injury is more of a soft tissue injury. Doesn't think he'll be back this week. #Texans
— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 16, 2015
O'B has a strong belief that the playcaller/guy working with QBs needs to look the QB "eyeball to eyeball." #Texans
— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 16, 2015
OC George Godsey will be on the sideline calling plays. O'Brien wants playcaller to see QB "eyeball to eyeball" & get feel for game.

OBrien on playing against Manning "That tests our defense. When u play against 1 of the greatest ever, it's a good test for our defense."
