GAME 5

VS Houston Texans VS NEW YORK GIANTS - RELIANT STADIUM - Houston, TEXAS - SUNday, October 10, 2010 - noon CT

The Houston Texans (3-1) will play host to their third NFC East opponent in five games this season when they kick off against the New York Giants (2-2) at noon on Sunday at Reliant Stadium.

Houston is off to the best start in team history and sit-ting atop the AFC South standings thanks in large part to a rushing attack that leads the NFL with 172.0 yards per game and its second-ranked offense (415.5 yards per game). The ground game will be crucial to success against the Giants, who rank second in the NFL in pass de-fense (139.8 yards per game), third in total defense (257.0 yards per game) and tout the NFL’s best pass rush (15.6 sack percentage).

While Houston’s ground game continued to impress in a 31-24 win at Oakland in Week 4, it was the marked im-provement and timely playmaking of the Texans’ defense that won the game. DE Antonio Smith had two of Hous-ton’s season-high four sacks against the Raiders and FS Troy Nolan picked off two passes to help the Texans win the turnover battle for the first time this season.

Houston’s offensive line opened holes for RBs Arian Foster, Derrick Ward and Steve Slaton to gain 249 yards against Oakland and kept QB Matt Schaub from getting sacked for the first time all season. The Texans totaled 441 yards of offense, with Foster accounting for 187 yards from scrimmage (131 rushing, 56 receiving) and two scores.

Foster leads the NFL in rushing (134.3 yards per game), total yards from scrimmage (172.3) and first downs gained (35). DE Mario Williams ranks second in the AFC with 5.0 sacks.

The Giants are coming off a 17-3 win against previ-ously unbeaten Chicago in which they had 10 sacks and knocked QBs Jay Cutler and Todd Collins out of the game. Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora had three sacks apiece and RB Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 129 yards in the win.

Sunday will mark the third meeting between the two teams. The series is split with Houston winning 16-14 in 2002 and the Giants claiming a 14-10 victory in 2006.

2010 HOUSTON TEXANS SCHEDULE


TEXANS VS. GIANTSGAME DAY INFORMATION

For every home game, the Houston Texans create a theme and build all of the day’s entertainment around that concept. For Sunday’s game vs. the New York Giants, the theme is Pink Ribbon Day.

As part of the NFL’s “A Crucial Catch” campaign, the Texans will join the fight against breast cancer in a num-ber of very visible ways. The Texans coaches will all wear pink ribbons, and a pink ribbon will be painted on the field.

The Houston Texans Cheerleaders will join in the fight with special pink boots and pink pom-poms.

A number of Texans players will wear pink shoes, gloves, wristbands, chinstraps, towels and tape during the game.

Many of these game-worn items will be auctioned by the NFL, with the proceeds going toward research to fight breast cancer.

PINK RIBBON DAY/A CRUCIAL CATCH

The national anthem will be performed by Houston Grand Opera studio artist Brendan Touhy. Mr. Touhy is in his sec-ond year as a studio artist with the HGO.

A tenor, Mr. Touhy is scheduled to perform this season as Goro in performances of Madame Butterfly, Don Curzio in Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro and Brighella in Rich-ard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos.

Mr. Tuohy holds a master’s degree in vocal performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and he was a semi-finalist in the 2008 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in New York.

A color guard from the Brazoswood High School Air Force ROTC.

NATIONAL ANTHEM

Janice McNair, the wife of Texans owner Bob McNair, will serve as an honorary captain during the coin toss prior to Sunday’s game.

Mrs. McNair will be joined by Debbie Phillips, the wife of former Houston Oilers head coach Bum Phillips, and Loretta Moses, who will represent the Methodist Hospital system.

All three ladies have fought - and defeated - breast can-cer.

HONORARY CAPTAINS

When the Texans and the Giants head to the locker rooms at halftime, the marching band from Sugar Land Willowridge High School will take the field to entertain the crowd.

HALFTIME ENTERTAINMENT

The Texans introduced their “50-80 Rule” in 2005 which implies that the roof will be open the when the game time temperature is projected to be between 50 and 80 degrees.

The expected high for Sunday’s matchup is in the high-80’s at kickoff, with a 40% threat of rain, meaning that there is a good chance that the roof will be closed. The roof status is confirmed two hours and 15 minutes prior to kickoff.

If open, the referee has sole discretion to close it once the game has started. After the two-minute warning, the roof must remain as it is. Once closed, the roof cannot be re-opened during the game.

RELIANT’S 50-80 ROOF RULE

Members of the University of Houston chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority will be outside every entry gate on Sunday to distribute pink ribbons to Texans fans as they enter Reliant Stadium.

PINK RIBBONS AT THE GATE


Houston Texans fans have made a habit of filling Reliant Stadium for every home game, and never has that been more apparent than this year.

The Texans have sold a franchise-record 64,355 season tickets, leaving a maximum of just 6,699 tickets available on a single-game basis.

PACKING THE (POWER) HOUSE

The Texans have played to capacity crowds at Reliant Stadium since beginning play in the NFL in 2002, selling out all 83 preseason and regular season home games in franchise history. The Texans are looking to continue their streak going into 2010.

Following the 2002 season, Reliant Stadium seating was expanded to 71,054, incorporating more “Raving Fans.”

HOUSTON’S RAVING FANS

Houston is considered by many to be one of the best cit-ies in America when it comes to fine cuisine and Reliant Stadium hosts the annual Houston Livestock Show & Ro-deo World Championship Barbecue Cookoff.

It should come as no shock, then, that the tailgate parties on Texans game days are unmatched.

Last season, Forbes Traveler magazine declared Hous-ton Texans fans the best tailgaters in the NFL, topping such traditional hot food hotbeds as Kansas City, Green Bay and Philadelphia.

AMERICA’S TOP TAILGATE

On television, the Texans have become quite a hot prop-erty in Houston. Ratings for the team’s four preseason games were up a whopping 47% on average.

Houston’s season-opener against Indianapolis drew a 21.9 rating in Houston. That was the team’s highest-rated opening game since the first game in franchise history against Dallas in 2002. It was an impressive 53.1% better than the rating for the 2009 opener against the New York Jets.

Houston’s Week 2 game at Washington drew a 27.2 over-night rating, which was up 56.3 percent from Week 2 in 2009 against division rival Tennessee.

In Week 3, the Texans-Cowboys in-state showdown drew a 28.8 rating locally, up over 70 percent from Week 3 in 2009 against AFC South rival Jacksonville.

Overall, the Texans’ TV ratings in Houston were up 61.5 percent through three weeks. That is the largest year-over-year increase in the NFL, topping the World Cham-pion New Orleans Saints, who were up 44 percent.

TEXANS MOVING THE NEEDLE

TEXANS VS. GIANTSGAME DAY INFORMATION

Football is King in Texas, and a big part of the pageantry of the game is the cheerleaders on the sideline. Nowhere are the cheerleaders a bigger part of the experience than at Houston Texans games.

The Houston Texans Cheerleaders were named the best-looking squad in the NFL last season by Bleacher-Report.com, with Andrea (pictured, front row right) top-ping the publication’s list of the best-looking women in the league.

CHEERLEADERS ARE NO. 1


TEXANS ALL-COMMUNITY TEAM

Every season, Houston Texans football players have the opportunity to participate in the Texans All Community Team, also known as the TACT program. Each participat-ing player buys a block of tickets to every Texans home game and donates them to a charity of their choice, allow-ing hundreds of children access to a Houston Texans expe-rience they would likely otherwise never have.

Between the 24 players participating this year, the TACT

program provides nearly 300 tickets per game to Houston-area youth groups.

Following is a list of each of the TACT groups for this sea-son, the players that support them, the organizations that they serve and their seat locations in Reliant Stadium.

Tom Coughlin is in his seventh season as head coach of the New York Giants. Coughlin ascended to the pinnacle of his profession in the 2007 season when he led the Gi-ants to a victory in Super Bowl XLII against the New Eng-land Patriots.

In 2009, the Giants were 8-8, following marks of 12-4, 10-6, 8-8 and 11-5 the pre-vious four seasons. Their five-year streak without a losing record is the Giants’ longest since they had 10 in a row from 1954-63. In 2008, Coughlin led the Giants to the NFC East championship and their 12 victories was their highest to-tal since the 2000 NFC champions won 12 games.

Coughlin also led the Jacksonville Jaguars to four consecutive postseason berths (1996-99) and is one of only three coaches in NFL history to accomplish that feat with two different teams.

Under Coughlin, the 2009 Giants scored 402 points after scoring 425 in 2008. It is the first time in franchise history the Giants scored at least 400 points in consecutive sea-sons. The Giants gained 5,856 yards, the second-highest total in franchise history and just 28 yards less than the franchise record set in 1985. The Giants set a franchise record with 4,019 net passing yards, the first 4,000-yard season in team history.

Coughlin is one of just five active coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. Coughlin is 8-7 in the postseason, including 4-3 with the Giants. The four playoff victories are the second-most in Giants history, behind Bill Parcells’

eight.Coughlin is 125-110 (.532) in

the regular season, plus 8-7 in the postseason for an overall record of 133-117 (.532). He ranks fourth among active NFL coaches in wins and he is tied for 23rd all-time with Jim Mora on the NFL’s regular season wins list.

Gary Kubiak is the winningest head coach in Texans his-tory with 34 career victories in four-plus years, including the three best seasons in team history from 2007-09. One of Kubiak’s primary goals upon arriving in Houston was to create a home field advantage at Reliant Stadium, and he has made great strides in that direction. The Texans have posted a 21-13 (.618 winning pct.) home record since 2006.

Kubiak guided the Texans to a 9-7 record in 2009, highlighted by a season-ending four-game win streak to capture the franchise’s first winning season. Houston narrowly missed its first-ever playoff berth, losing a tie-breaker for the final spot on the last day of the season. The 2009 Texans set franchise records for total offense, scoring offense, total defense and scoring defense. A franchise-record five players earned trips to the Pro Bowl, led by Pro Bowl MVP Matt Schaub.

The 2008 Texans matched their record from the year be-fore, going 8-8 for a second straight year despite an 0-4 start in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, which devastated much of Houston and southeast Texas. Houston became just the tenth team in NFL history to start a year 0-4 and fin-ish with a record at or above .500. Houston was one of 11 teams to go 8-4 or better over the last 12 games; and nine of those teams were in the playoffs. The offense enjoyed its most productive season to date, ranking third in the NFL and setting a franchise record with 6,113 total yards.

Year two for Kubiak saw the team achieve the best re-cord in franchise history, finishing 8-8. The Texans won three of their last four and five of their last seven to finish the season at .500. In addition, the Texans set a team mark with a 6-2 record at Reliant Stadium in 2007.

In his rookie season, Kubiak tripled the team’s win total of the previous year, guiding the club to a 6-10 record. The six victories included wins in three of the last five games of the season and the fran-chise’s first ever win against Indianapolis. All six wins came versus AFC opponents, giving the Texans their most wins against conference foes in team annals.

GENERAL MANAGER RICK SMITHTEXANS COACHING STAFF

Rick Smith is in his fifth season as Texans general man-ager after being named to the post on June 5, 2006. The Texans have accumulated 34 wins since then, giving him the most wins for a general manager in Texans his-tory. The Texans have gotten better every season with Smith at the helm and posted their first win-ning season in 2009, going 9-7. Smith has built a team that has battled throughout the year as evidenced by a combined 14-6 re-cord in the final month of the season over the last four years. That record ranks fourth in the NFL and tops among teams in the AFC South. Houston had an NFL-worst .211 winning percentage in the last month of the season before his arrival.

Smith has assembled a front office staff that has the Texans pointed toward sustained success in the NFL and has established himself as a prominent voice around the league in his four years at the helm with the Texans. He was appointed to the NFL’s prestigious eight-man Compe-tition Committee by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on December 5, 2008 and was honored with the Tank Younger Award in 2008, presented annually by the Fritz Pollard Al-liance for outstanding work in an NFL front office. Smith was also an original member of the General Managers Ad-visory Committee that provides advice and other feedback to the NFL Football Operations department on the integrity of the game, expansion of technology and other ways to improve the game.

Smith’s main philosophy has been to build through the draft and supplement via free agency. Last season, 13 players who the Texans signed or acquired during Smith’s tenure started 10 or more games. In the final win of the season against the Patriots, 15 of Houston’s 22 starters had been with the Texans since his arrival in June 2006.

During the 2009 draft, Houston selected eight players, with four starting at least one game. First-round pick LB Brian Cushing was selected to the Pro Bowl and name Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year. Second-round pick DE Connor Barwin led all NFL rookie defensive ends with 4.5 sacks.

The Houston Texans made three additions to the offen-sive coaching staff in the offseason: Offensive Coordinator Rick Dennison, Quarterbacks Coach Greg Knapp and Of-fensive Assistant Marc Lubick.

The 51-year-old Dennison is entering his 16th season in the NFL as a coach and his 25th year in the league overall. Dennison has spent 24 years with the Denver Broncos, first as a player from 1982-90 and then as a coach from 1995-09, before being named the Texans’ offensive coor-dinator on January 11, 2010.

Dennison served as offensive coordinator in Denver from 2006-08 after his predecessor, Gary Kubiak, left Denver to become the head coach of the Texans. He coached the Broncos offensive line from 2001-05 and resumed that role in 2009. He also coached Denver’s special teams from 1997-2000 and was an offensive assistant from 1995-96.

Knapp is entering his 16th season in the NFL as a coach, including the last nine seasons as an offensive coordina-tor. Overall, Knapp is entering his 25th year in coaching.

Knapp coached Texans QB Matt Schaub in Atlanta from 2004-06 as the offensive coordinator of the Falcons.

Knapp spent last season as the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks and guided an attack that averaged 316.8 yards per game, including 218.9 per game through the air.

Lubick is entering his third season in the NFL as a coach or scouting assistant. He worked as Colorado State’s tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2009. He worked as the Rams wide receivers coach from 2005-07.

A TEXANS WIN SUNDAY WOULD...

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK


THE TEXANS WIRE

MENTOR WARDHouston is one of eight NFL teams with

a pair of 1,000-yard rushers on its roster, and that doesn’t include the NFL’s cur-rent leading rusher, RB Arian Foster. RBs Derrick Ward and Steve Slaton both had 1,000-yard seasons in 2008 and showed that talent when called upon last week’s

win at Oakland. Slaton started the game and finished with five carries for

37 yards (7.4 average), while Ward had 80 yards on 12 car-ries (6.7 average), including a 33-yard touchdown run to cap a 90-yard drive and open the game’s scoring.

Ward is the veteran of the group, and as Foster stated after the game, has a lot more to offer than his ability to run the ball.

“I’ve never been a part of a running back group like this before,” Foster said. “Derrick is kind of the old guy and he’s taken both of us under his wing. I’ve never had that before, like a mentor to look out for me like that. He’s do-ing that and I thank him every day for it.”

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS, NOLAN ANSWERSFS Troy Nolan’s NFL career prior to last

Sunday’s win wasn’t exactly charmed. He missed his entire rookie season of 2009 after breaking his arm in his first preseason game.

When he finally did get a chance to play in the 2010 preseason, he picked off a

pass in his first game against Arizona.Last Sunday against Oakland, an injury to regular starter

FS Eugene Wilson gave Nolan his first chance at signifi-cant playing time on defense and he responded with the Texans’ first two interceptions of the season, the second of which ended a potential game-tying Oakland drive.

“Troy is going to get a lot more playing time,” head coach Gary Kubiak said. “Obviously, Troy, with what he did in the game, deserves some more reps and he’ll get them.”

RE-INTRODUCING BRIAN CUSHINGLB Brian Cushing is back following his

four-game suspension and head coach Gary Kubiak left no question about his status for Sunday’s game when he ad-dressed the media on Monday.

“Do I have expectations of Brian Cush-ing playing Sunday? Oh, he’s playing.”

Kubiak admitted that there may be some level of sharp-ness that may be lost from not playing roughly 250 snaps of the regular season, but he isn’t overly concerned.

“First off, I don’t worry about him working. I know he’s a worker and been putting himself through everything he can possibly put himself through without playing a game. So, we don’t worry about that with Cush.”

WIDE RECEIVERS ON THE MENDTexans All-Pro WR Andre Johnson was

inactive against Oakland last week and WR Jacoby Jones missed the second half of the game with a calf injury.

Head coach Gary Kubiak addressed their status during Monday’s press con-ference:

“Well, it’s going to kind of be day-to-day. Andre; the good news is we get through the weekend so he didn’t take any steps backwards. He’s feeling a little better today. We’ll continue to take him through the same routine we did last week. It will probably be Thursday before

he works. He’ll be day-to-day going into this game. Also, Jacoby has a pretty good calf issue. We’ll probably know more about him on Wednesday. Right now we’ve got three healthy guys that are on the active squad. We’ll go from there. I’m just hoping Andre is ready to go.

“Jacoby; we’ll have to wait and see...It’s a slight strain. We really probably won’t know until we treat him for a couple days. We’ll come in here Wednesday and see where he’s at.”

OLD RELIABLEEvery team has a blue-collar work-

horse, a guy who just puts his head down and does whatever is asked of him. For the Texans, that is TE Joel Dreessen.

Dreessen is a stalwart on special teams and can long snap if called upon. When Pro Bowl TE Owen Daniels went down

with a season-ending knee surgery in the middle of the 2009 season, Dreessen answered the call and posted a career-best 28 receptions for 320 yards.

When the Texans receiving corps was depleted last Sun-day at Oakland, Dreessen picked up the slack, leading the team with five receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown, all season highs.

“Joel is like ‘Mr. Consistency’ for us,” QB Matt Schaub said. “He always does the right thing. He’s in the right place, he knows his responsibilities. You give him a chance and he’s going to make plays. With Owen coming along off his injuries, Joel has really stepped up.

“He’s a leader on this team. We look to him to make plays and he stepped up in a huge way and did that (last Sun-day) for us.”

Dreessen has seven receptions on the year for 119 yards and a team-best 17.0 yards per catch.

SCORING

The Texans (2-6) were upset-minded in East Rutherford, N.J., leading the Giants (6-2) 10-7 in the fourth quarter, but when Eli Manning found Jeremy Shockey in the right cor-ner of the endzone with 7:49 emaining in game, New York took the lead for good.

The ensuing Texans drive moved into Giants territory, but when Jameel Cook fumbled on New York’s 38-yard line after a three-yard catch, the game was essentially over as the Giants recovered and were able to kill the last five min-utes off the clock. Cook’s fumble was the only turnover of the game for the Texans in a game that was dominated by both team’s defenses. Houston’s defense allowed just two scores on the day and just 285 yards to a Giants team that ranked fourth in the NFL in total yards entering the game.

The Giants defense limited Houston to 81 rushing yards and 251 yards total for the game. David Carr connected on 21-of-30 pass attempts for 176 yards and no interceptions Carr also had 24 yards rushing on five attempts, including a touchdown.

The Giants got on the board first with a 16-yard run by Tiki Barber for a 7-0 lead 10 minutes into the game. Kris Brown got the Texans on the board in the second quarter on a 41-yard field goal to trim the lead to 7-3 with 7:16 re-maining in the first half.

The teams played to a stalemate through much of the third quarter until Carr took to the air, launching himself from the Giants’ two-yard line into the endzone to give the Texans a 10-7 lead with 1:14 remaining in the third quarter.

The Giants shut down Houston’s offense for the remain-der of the game, while adding Shockey’s touchdown for the deciding points in the game.

TEXANS INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS


(on the Texans wide receiver situation) “Well, it’s going to kind of be day-to-day. (WR) Andre (Johnson); the good news is we get through the weekend so he didn’t take any steps backwards. He’s feeling a little better today. We’ll continue to take him through the same routine we did last week. It will probably be Thursday before he works. He’ll be day-to-day going into this game. Also, (WR) Jacoby (Jones) got a pretty good calf issue. We’ll probably know more about him on Wednesday. Right now we’ve got three healthy guys that are on the active squad. We’ll go from there. I’m just hoping Andre is ready to go. Jacoby; we’ll have to wait and see.”

(on how RB Arian Foster has responded to being benched at the start of the game against Oakland) “I talked to him briefly on the plane but he responded with his play. He got his opportunity to go back out there and show his team-mates that he can do his job and be accountable. He did that. It’s over; move on. He did his job.”

(on WR Jacoby Jones’ calf injury) “It’s a slight strain. We really probably won’t know until we treat him for a couple days. We’ll come in here Wednesday and see where he’s at.”

(on if he considered fining RB Arian Foster instead of benching him) “He got both. I guess I considered them both.”

(on the return of LB Brian Cushing) “(LB) Brian (Cushing) will be here sometime after 3 o’clock today I think, I guess, as I’m getting through here. I haven’t seen him yet. (Tex-ans general manager) Rick (Smith) has had discussions with him. We’ll get him going from a football standpoint. We’ll spend a lot of time with him tomorrow. We’ll prob-ably actually work him out tomorrow. We’re excited to have him and get ready to go.”

(on what he expects from LB Brian Cushing) “First off, I don’t worry about him working. I know he’s a worker and been putting himself through everything he can possibly put himself through without playing a game. So, we don’t worry about that with Cush (LB Brian Cushing). You know, there is a level of sharpness, just from not playing, not taking all the snaps. Everybody on the team is about 250 snaps ahead of him right now in an NFL season. But he’s proven that he can play missing practice; he did that last year. He’s proven that he can play with a lot of time missed in training camp; he did that early last year. We need him to come back and put him to work right away. Hopefully everything looks good throughout the week.”

(on FS Troy Nolan) “(FS) Troy (Nolan) is going to get a lot more playing time. I’m hoping (FS) Eugene (Wilson) comes back healthy this week. We’ll see where he’s at. (FS Domi-nique) Barber’s got a little hip bruise but should be okay. Obviously, Troy, with what he did in the game, deserves some more reps and he’ll get them.”

(on SS Bernard Pollard’s shoulder) “We think he’s going to be fine. We did some x-rays on him today and every-thing was OK. He just really had a stinger more than any-thing. He had some big, big collisions, made some big hits in the game, so we think he’ll be OK.”

(on whether there was a conscious effort for QB Matt Schaub to get rid of the ball quickly) “I wouldn’t say we did that; going into the game, we had 11 sacks in three weeks, way too many, and we need to keep him upright and that type of thing, so there was a conscious effort on doing the things that would protect him a little more. That was our boot game, our play-pass game; we were com-mitted to the run yesterday, very much so, and ended up even real heavily that way before the day was said and done. I just think it helped us with what we did. We were a lot less drop back yesterday, a lot less of those type of things, and more play-pass oriented, and I think it helped us out.”

(on his initial thoughts about the New York Giants de-fensive line) “Well first off, I was trying to enjoy the win last night and I got off the plane and the first thing (Texans general manager) Rick (Smith) told me was the Giants had 11 sacks, so that went out the window real quick. I had a brief look at them before I came down here—I was still working on us up until about 2:00—but a very physical football team. I’m going to say the same thing I said about Oakland last week: I just noticed they’re in the top 10 in both categories in the league. Defensively, I think they’re third; offensively they’re seventh or eighth. But it’ll be the biggest physical challenge I think we’ve faced this year, from what I’ve seen briefly.”

(on the reasons for the New York Giants’ sacks on Sun-day) “They’re very good up front. They’ve got an excellent front and they’re very active. They do a lot of zone dogs and zone pressures. (Giants defensive coordinator) Perry (Fewell), who was at Buffalo last year, is the coordinator now so we’ve seen his scheme and some of the things they do. And then Chicago is throwing the ball a lot, a lot of open formations, a lot of open edges and those type of things, so the Giants were very aggressive. We’ll have to find a way to protect those edges. We can’t leave our tackles out on an island all day.”

(on how the Texans offensive line played on Sunday) “We played very [well]. We played very detailed in what we ask our guys to do, the things that make us good when we are hitting on all cylinders as far as working on the back side, our receivers working in the run game. Our full-back was excellent yesterday; (FB) Vonta (Leach) played very, very well. (TE) Joel (Dreessen) and OD (TE Owen Daniels)—I think OD played his best game since he’s been back, watching him move around, and Joel is really play-ing well. It was a group effort, but we really did the little things that help us. We did the little things as a group and played with a lot of extra effort on both sides of the ball.”

GARY KUBIAK TRANSCRIPTMonday, october 4, 2010


(on his decision to run the ball on third down with 3:21 left in the fourth quarter against Oakland) “You’re trying to make them use a timeout more than anything. They’ve got to go a long way to score. They’ve got to score a touch-down to beat you. We were running the ball well. They’re excellent on the back end. They cover as well as anybody in the league. So my thought right there, the smart thing to do—first off, we’re running the ball well. It’s not like we didn’t have an opportunity to still pick up the first down. But we didn’t. We made them use their timeout. They’ve got two left going into the last drive and (P) Matt (Turk) punted the ball extremely well throughout the game. So to me, everything added up to making them beat us and not beating ourselves.”

(on what impressed him most about RB Derrick Ward’s performance) “Well he’s been showing some good things in practice, but you never know until you transfer them to the game. He’s a big load. He’s a big guy. He’s always fall-ing forward. I think he fits what we do. He’s been very into what we do. I think he’s caught up mentally and I think you guys will see even more of him. We’re excited to have him and it’s been a slow process, but I think this thing could speed up. I think he can help us a lot more.”

(on how many other players have missed team meetings this year) “I don’t keep tabs on it.”

(on if he has expectations that LB Brian Cushing will play on Sunday) “Do I have expectations of Brian Cushing play-ing Sunday? Oh, he’s playing.”

(on the impact LB Brian Cushing’s return will have on the defense) “First off, Brian is a leader by his play. He’s a very fiery guy. You guys know that. He’s a very physical player. Brian helps us rush the passer when we bring five and he’s part of the rush. He helps us in nickel. He gives us flexibility moving around. Obviously he’s a big, big part of our football team and getting him back is important to a lot of players. Not just the team, but to a lot of players that work around him.”

(on other players thriving off of Cushing’s intensity on the field) “I think they do. He was the Rookie of the Year. What he did last year, guys look to him to make plays on the field. He was big in the turnover area last year as a team. We had been poor up until yesterday in getting turnovers. There’s not anybody on this team or in this organization not excited to have him come back.”

(on what it means that guys like T Rashad Butler and LB Xavier Adibi have starting experience) “I think it just continues to give you confidence. First off, you’re going to play on Sunday regardless of your problems. That’s the way this league works. When you have confidence, you can work through them. When you have confidence, the players will step up and still get the job done. That con-tinues to make your team stronger. I think what happens is that eventually guys don’t panic when you have issues.

That’s what, to me, was impressive about yesterday. Not only did we have issues going into the game, but we had some during the course of the game and we just kept playing and new guys kept stepping up. We come out of that game, we’re beat up, but we’re stronger mentally and we’re stronger with some of the guys that stepped to the plate for the team.”

(on the improved play of G Wade Smith) “Well, he’s very athletic. We saw that from OTAs on as we were going through camp. I think he was trying to get familiar in what we’re doing and what we asked. He’s working with new guys and we had him working at center for awhile. We’re trying to settle him down to where we’ll think he can start for our football team. Eventually it ended up being at left guard. I think it’s a maturing process for him. He’s been ex-cellent in the run game. He needs to continue to improve in the pass game. I think he and (T Rashad) Butler working two weeks together now are growing together. He’s got a lot of good ball in him and I think he’s only getting better for our team.”

(on what is the difference with the Texans offense with C Chris Myers being healthy) “He’s on his way to a very good year. He had a little finger issue yesterday in the game and just kept playing through it. (C) Chris (Myers) has been playing well. The whole group has been playing pretty well, but Chris is obviously healthy and has been playing well.”

(on what is he worried about LB Brian Cushing making his return this weekend) “I think it will be the sharpness of what we’re doing. Going back scheme-wise defensively in what we’re doing- assignment, alignment, gap respon-sibility, coverage- all those things that you don’t get better at until you do them. I know (LB) Brian’s (Cushing) been working, but he’s missing 250 football snaps that (LB) DeMeco (Ryans) and (LB) Zac (Diles) have and you can’t make those up. That’ll be the biggest thing we’re looking for. We’ll give him a chance to catch up real quick.”

(on what T Rashad Butler has done that he’s liked since being placed as a starter) “I think that his strength has been pass protection. He’s been very good at his pass pro-tection. In his run game he could get better in some of the things that he’s doing, especially on the backside on the run game. What you see is improvement. He’s has gotten better. From last game to this game he was better. Does he continue to do that? He’s setting himself up for a bright future and is given an opportunity to play and doing some things when the team moves the ball. You just got to feel good about what he did.”

SCORING

Houston reeled off its fourth straight road victory, jumped to the best four-game start in franchise and the AFC South lead with a 31-24 win at Oakland in Week 4.

The Texans rushed for 249 yards and used timely turn-overs on defense to overcome the loss of several key starters. Pro Bowler Andre Johnson and starting FS Eugene Wilson were inactive with injury, while RB Arian Foster (coach’s decision) missed the majority of the first half. In addition, WR Jacoby Jones left the game in the second quarter with a leg injury and did not return.

RB Steve Slaton started in place of Foster and split car-ries with Derrick Ward in the first quarter, totaling 84 yards on eight carries, including Ward’s 33-yard touch-down run to put Houston on the scoreboard first.

Oakland tied the game with a two-yard touchdown run before Houston pulled ahead on TE Joel Dreessen’s 11-yard touchdown catch to complete the scoring in the first quarter. The Raiders answered with a touchdown catch by fullback Marcel Reece.

On the second play from scrimmage in the second half, Foster broke off the right tackle and outran two defensive backs for a 74-yard touchdown that gave Houston a 21-14 lead. Foster totaled 131 yards on 16 carries (8.2 avg.) and 56 yards on three catches (18.7 avg.) , including a 10-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter.

FS Troy Nolan stood out in Wilson’s place, collecting the Texans’ first two interceptions of the season. Nolan set up Foster’s touchdown catch by diving for a ball at the Houston 45 and returning it 20 yards and had his second pick to end Oakland’s final attempt at tying the game in the fourth quarter.

TEXANS INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS


GAME NOTEShouston 31, OAKLAND 24

oakland-alameda county coliseum - OCt. 3, 2010• Houston moved to 3-1, the best four-game start in team history. • The win was Houston’s fifth against the Oakland Raiders,

which is tied for the team’s most against a non-division opponent (Five wins vs. Miami)

• The win improved Houston’s road record to 2-0 this season and 7-3 over the last two seasons.

• The Texans won the turnover battle (3-0) for the first time this

season and the 22nd time under Gary Kubiak. Houston is 1-0 this season and 19-3 under Kubiak when winning the turnover battle.

time this season that the Texans outrushed the opposition and the 36th time under head coach Gary Kubiak. Houston is now 3-1 in those games this season and 27-9 all-time under Kubiak.

• The Texans ran 36 times for 249 yards and improved to 21-2

under Gary Kubiak when rushing 30 or more times in a game. • Houston topped the 400-yard mark on offense (441) for the

seventh of his career. • TE Owen Daniels extended his personal streak of consecutive

games to 54 with an eight-yard reception in the third quarter. • TE Joel Dreessen had five catches for 73 yards. Both marks

were second-most in his career, trailing only his 6-catch, 81-yard day in the 2009 season finale vs. New England (1/3/10).

• Dreessen caught his fourth career touchdown pass and first of

the season when he hauled in an 11-yarder in the first quarter. • Dreessen’s 29-yard reception in the first quarter was the lon-

gest of his career. His previous long was 28 yards, which he did twice, most recently on 9/19/10 at Washington.

• Foster’s 74-yard touchdown run in the third quarter was the longest run in franchise history, topping RB Steve Slaton’s 71-yard scoring run at Indianapolis on 11/16/08. It was the longest run of Foster’s career, bettering a 42-yard run in the season opener vs. Indianapolis (9/12).

• RB Arian Foster became the third back in NFL history to sur-

pass 500 rushing and 100 receiving yards in the first four games of a season, joining Emmit Smith and Billy Sims.

• Nolan intercepted his second pass of the game in the fourth

quarter, tying a franchise single-game record. He became the sixth Texan to pick off two passes in a game and the first since Bernard Pollard did so last season at Indianapolis (11/8/09).

• SS Bernard Pollard tied for the team lead with 11 tackles, in-

cluding eight solos. • K Neil Rackers booted his 300th career extra point on his sec-

ond PAT attempt of the game. • LB DeMeco Ryans tied for the team lead with 11 tackles. It was

the 29th time in his career he has led the team in tackles. It was also Ryans’ 25th career game with 10 or more tackles.

• Ryans and DE Mario Williams both started their 68th consecu-

tive game, moving them past Steve McKinney for the second-lon-gest start streak in team history. Chester Pitts holds the record with 114 consecutive starts.

• QB Matt Schaub set the franchise record for career touch-

down passes when he threw his 60th, hitting RB Arian Foster from 10 yards out. Schaub’s 11-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter was his 59th as a Texan, which tied him for first on the franchise career list with David Carr (2002-06).

• Schaub threw a touchdown pass for the 12th straight game,

tying Sage Rosenfels’ franchise record. Schaub became the first Texan to do so in 12 consecutive games.

33-yard run on Houston’s opening drive. • DE Mario Williams registered his fifth sack of the season and

10th forced a fumble of his career, sacking Raiders QB Bruce Grad-kowski for an 11-yard loss in the second quarter.


Houston finished the 2009 season ranked 30th in the NFL in rushing, managing just 92.2 yards per game on the ground and led the NFL in passing with 290.9 yards per game.

What a difference a year makes. The Texans lead the NFL with 172.0 yards per game

(688 yards total) and RB Arian Foster is the NFL’s leading rusher with 537 yards. The offense has grinded out two 200-plus-yard performances; a franchise-record 257 yards on 42 carries with three touchdowns in the season opener against Indianapolis and 249 yards on 36 carries at Oak-land in Week 4.

The Texans did not surpass 688 yards rushing as a team or get their fifth rushing touchdown of the season until Week 8 of 2009. Foster has already eclipsed Steve Sla-ton’s team-best 437 yards rushing from the 2009 season.

Below is a comparison between the Texans’ rushing starts in the last two years:

RUNNING GAME STARTS ANEW

Houston’s run defense ranks second in the NFL to Pitts-burgh, giving up 70.3 yards per game in 2010. The Texans set a team record by holding Washington to 18 yards rush-ing on 17 carries in Week 2 and held Indianapolis to 44 yards rushing in the season opener against, which tied for the fifth-lowest total in team history.

A stout run defense is a trend that was set in 2009 un-der then first-year defensive coordinator Frank Bush. The 2009 Texans defense produced five of the 10 lowest opponent rushing totals in franchise history over the last 10 games. The Texans have held opponents to under 100 yards rushing seven times in 18 games with Bush leading the defense. Ten of the 46 games the Texans have held an opponent under 100 yards rushing came in 2009.

SCHEDULING DIFFICULTY

The Texans passing game has been one of the most dan-gerous in the NFL in the last three seasons. Houston has averaged 274.9 net passing yards per game to rank third in the league since 2008.

HOUSTON’S PROLIFIC PASSING ATTACK

Houston is one of eight NFL teams that can tout a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in its running back stable. RB Steve Slaton rushed for 1,282 yards as a rookie in 2008 and RB Derrick Ward rushed for 1,025 yards for the New York Gi-ants, also in 2008.

However, the Texans are the only team with a pair of 1,000-yard rushers who aren’t listed as starters on the team’s depth chart. The Texans start second-year RB Arian Foster.

2010 ACTIVE ROSTER FACTS AND FIGURES

Houston Texans owner Bob McNair has built an organi-zational infrastructure that has helped place his franchise among the world’s most valuable sports franchises. The Texans rank tenth on Forbes’ 2010 list of the 10 Most Valu-able Teams In Sports with an estimated worth of $1.15 bil-lion. Houston ranks sixth in the NFL in value, according to the list.

Perhaps most impressive is the fact that the Texans are the only team on the list founded in the 21st century.

TEXANS SHOWING THEIR VALUE

Houston has two coaches remaining from the inaugural season. Running backs coach Chick Harris and special teams coordinator Joe Marciano are the lone holdovers from the 2002 staff and have been present for all 167 pre-season and regular season Texans games.

THE ORIGINAL TEXANS

With the loss of the last original Texan, K Kris Brown, WR Andre Johnson has assumed the role of elder statesman for the Texans franchise.

Johnson, the team’s first-round draft pick and third over-all selection in the 2003 NFL Draft, is the only Texan who played for the team prior to the 2006 season, prior to head coach Gary Kubiak’s tenure in Houston. He is currently third on the all-time games played list for the Texans with 105 and will become just the third player to play eight sea-sons with the team in 2010.

DRE CLAIMS SENIORITY


GARY KUBIAK NOTES

Ever since he was hired in 2006, head coach Gary Kubiakhas stressed the importance of having a strong running game, and the evidence on the field has proven that phi-losophy to be true throughout his tenure.

The Texans have outrushed their opponents 36 times un-der Kubiak, and they are 27-9 in those games, including 3-1 this year. Houston outrushed Indianapolis 257-44 in the 2010 season opener, the largest differential in rushing yards against an opponent in the Kubiak Era.

OUT-RUSHING TO JUDGEMENT

Under head coach Gary Kubiak, the Texans have made running the ball effectively a priority, and that philosophy has been proven in the team’s win-loss record over the last four-plus years.

When Houston has run the ball 30 or more times over the last three seasons, the team is 21-2. By contrast, Houston is 2-24 when rushing less than 25 times.

TEXANS IN A RUSH TO WIN

One of head coach Gary Kubiak’s themes with his team has been the importance of winning the turnover battle. Since 2006 under Kubiak, the Texans have won the turn-over battle 22 times. Houston is 19-3 in those games.

Houston had a minus-one turnover ratio in 2009, giving the ball away 28 times and forcing 27 turnovers. The Tex-ans are 1-0 this year when winning the turnover battle.

GARY KUBIAK NOTES

When head coach Gary Kubiak was hired in 2006, he brought with him an offensive philosophy based on a strong running game and a precision passing attack.

Since 2006, the Texans are the second-most accurate passing offense in the NFL. Texans quarterbacks have combined to complete 66.7 percent of their passes, which is the highest in the league over the last four years.

KUBIAK STRONG AGAINST THE NFC

There certainly is no lack of NFL experience on the Tex-ans’ sidelines. Head coach Gary Kubiak’s coaching staff consists of nine former players with a combined total of 71 seasons played in the NFL. The group is also one of eight NFL teams with a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Offensive Assistant Bruce Matthews) on staff. Only San Francisco has more coaches on staff with NFL playing ex-perience than the Texans:

WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE

Gary Kubiak played nine seasons in the NFL for the Den-ver Broncos and has surrounded himself with a staff that has similar playing backgrounds.


TEXANS OFFENSIVE OVERVIEW

Record-setting performances in the run and pass game have the Texans’ offense ranked second in the NFL in total offense, averaging 415.5 yards per game. Houston leads the league with 172.0 rushing yards per game and ranks ninth in passing with 243.5 yards per game.

The Texans emphasized improvement in the run game following the 2009 season and have came through in 2010. Houston has rushed for more than 200 yars in a game twice this season, something it had done only once in the eight seasons prior. Against Indianapolis, rushing for a team record 257 yards behind RB Arian Foster’s team record 231 yards on the ground.

A week later, Houston showed that it hadn’t exactly abandoned the passing game, setting a team record with 468 net passing yards. QB Matt Schaub completed 38-of-52 passes for 497 yards, the 12th-highest total in NFL histo-ry and three touchdowns in an overtime win at Washing-ton. The Texans rolled up 526 yards of total offense in the game, the second-most in team history and WRs Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter both had more than 10 for more than 100 yards in the game, a first in team history.

The offensive line showed it’s physicality in the opener to lead the ground charge. RT Eric Winston, who has an-chored the offensive line with 58 consecutive starts, was joined by LT Duane Brown, free agent signe LG Wade Smith, C Chris Myers, the RG rotation of Antoine Caldwelland Mike Brisiel, and veteran FB Vonta Leach collectively dominated the second half of the opener.

Johnson leads the team with 255 yards receiving and went over the 8,000-yard mark for his career and caught his 600th career reception against Washington. He be-came the third-fastest player in NFL history to reach 600 receptions, doing it in his 104th career game. Johnson finished the 2009 season with 101 catches for an NFL-best 1,569 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns. He became just the second receiver in NFL history to post back-to-back 1,500-yard seasons and was also the sec-ond receiver to lead the league in receiving yards in con-secutive seasons.

Foster leads the NFL with 537 yards rushing and also tops the league with 689 yards from scrimmage. Walterhas caught a touchdown pass in three of the team’s first four games.

Pro Bowl TE Owen Daniels made a successful return from the knee injury that sidelined him for half the 2009 season, catching seven passes in four games.

While Foster has seen a bulk of the carries in 2010, RBs Steve Slaton and Derrick Ward have both shown flashes of why each has a 1,000-yard rushing season under their belts. The Texans are one of eight NFL teams with a pair of 1,000-yard backs on their roster.

OFFENSIVE OVERVIEW

QUARTERBACKSThe Texans offense lies in the capable hands of 2010 Pro

Bowl MVP Matt Schaub once again this season. Schaub ranks in the top five in the AFC in completions (86), com-pletion percentage (66.2), yards (1,037) and touchdowns (7). He has completed 86-of-130 passes for 1,037 yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions for a 95.6 passer rating.

In Week 2 at Washington, Schaub threw for a team re-cord 497 yards on 38-of-52 passing to help the Texans to the team’s first overtime win. It was the 12th-highest pass-ing total in NFL history.

Schaub posted elite numbers in 2009, which marked his first season starting all 16 games as a pro. He ranked among the league’s top five passers in six categories and his 4,770 passing yards not only led the league, but were also the sixth-most in NFL history. Schaub also led the league in attempts (583) and completions (396). His 67.9 completion percentage was fourth in the league, and he ranked fifth in yards per attempt (8.18) and passing touch-downs (29). His 98.6 passer rating ranked seventh.

Schaub was the starting quarterback for the AFC in the 2010 Pro Bowl and earned Most Valuable Player honors after setting the Pro Bowl record with a passer rating of 151.3, throwing for 189 yards and two touchdowns.

In three-plus seasons as the Texans starter, Schaub has thrown for 11,091 yards with a team-record 60 touch-downs and 38 interceptions. Schaub has posted a quarter-back rating of 93.8 since joining the team, which is by far the highest in franchise history among quarterbacks with at least 200 pass attempts.

Dan Orlovsky won the backup job in the 2010 preseason. Orlovsky signed with the Texans during the opening week-end of free agency following the 2008 season. He started seven games in 2008 for the Detroit Lions, completing 143-of-255 passes for 1,616 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Former Heisman Trophy winner and fifth-year veteran Matt Leinart was signed with the Texans following the 2010 preseason. Leinart started 17 times and played in 29 games in his four years in Arizona, throwing for 3,893 yards and 14 touchdowns. He will compete for the backup spot as he acclimates to his new offense.

RUNNING BACKSSecond-year RB Arian Foster, who came on strong late

in 2009, burst onto the NFL rushing scened with the great-est rushing performance in Texans history in the season opener against the Colts. Foster set team records with 33 carries for 231 yards and tied a team record with three rushing touchdowns. Foster’s breakout day marked the second-best season-opening rushing performance in NFL history (O.J. Simpson, 250 yards in 1973).

OFFENSE POSITION-BY-POSITION



Foster, who was undrafted coming out of Tennessee, leads the NFL with 537yards rushing on 85 carries (6.3 av-erage) and is also the NFL’s leader in total offense with 689 yards. He is one of just three running backs in the NFL this season with a reception of 50 yards or more and leads the NFL with 35 first downs gained.

Foster spent the first 10 weeks of 2009 on the Texans’ practice squad but came on strong once he was elevated to the active roster, finishing fourth on the squad with 256 yards rushing. Foster had back-to-back standout perfor-mances to close the 2009 season, rushing for 97 yards and a touchdown at Miami (12/27/09) and following that up with a 119-yard, two-touchdown performance in the season finale vs. New England (1/3/10).

Despite missing the last five games of 2009 with a shoul-der injury, RB Steve Slaton led the team in rushing for the second-straight year with 437 yards on the ground. Now healthy, Slaton presents a favorable option as the no. 2 back and is the primary kick returner. He ranks second on the team with 94 yards rushing.

The Texans bolstered their backfield with the addition of veteran RB Derrick Ward immediately following the pre-season. Ward led the Giants in with 1,409 combined yards in 2008, rushing for 1,025 yards (5.6 average)and catching 41 passes for 384 yards. He spent the 2009 season with Tampa Bay. In Week 4 at Oakland, Ward rushed for 80 yards on 12 carries, including a 33-yard touchdown run in the first quarter for his first points as a Texan.

FB Vonta Leach has played in all 63 games he’s been with the Texans since joining the team mid-way through the 2006 season and has developed a reputation as one of the best blocking backs in the NFL. Head coach Gary Kubiak called Leach’s performance in the 2010 season opener the

best he’d seen from the seventh-year vet as he helped clear the way for Foster’s record day. Leach has also proven to be a reliable receiver out of the backfield with 71 career receptions for 484 yards and four touchdowns.

WIDE RECEIVERSThe Texans receiving corps, led by All-Pro Andre John-

son, continues to be one of the deepest and most danger-ous groups in the NFL. Johnson was inactive in Week 4 at Oakland but still leads the team with 255 yards receiving. He tied a team record with 12 receptions and had a 158 yards receiving, 34 of which came on a game-tying score in the Week 2 win at Washington.

Johnson led the league in receiving yards for the second consecutive year in 2009 with 1,569 and caught a career-high nine touchdown passes. Johnson has 590 career re-ceptions for 7,981 yards and 42 touchdowns. Since 2006, Johnson has been the most productive receiver in the NFL, averaging 90.2 yards per game.

Kevin Walter starts opposite Johnson for the fourth straight year and leads the team with 20 receptions for 242 yards and a team-best three touchdowns. In 2009, Wal-ter caught 53 passes for 611 yards and two touchdowns. Since joining the Texans in 2006, Walter has caught 212 passes for 2,678 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Fourth-year pro Jacoby Jones has become more in-volved in the offense in 2010, adding to his versatility as a returner on special teams. Jones hauled in a career-high six passes against Washington, including a crucial third down conversion in overtime. He ranks third on the team with 14 receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown.

Jones caught a career-high 27 passes for 437 yards and finished second on the team with six touchdown catches. In four seasons, Jones has caught 59 passes for 812 yards and six touchdowns.

David Anderson turned in the best season of his young career in 2009. The fifth-year receiver out of Colorado State caught 38 passes for 370 yards, both career highs. Since being picked in the seventh round in 2006, Anderson has caught 71 passes for 770 yards and three touchdowns. He has two receptions for seven yards on the season.

Seventh-round draft pick, WR Dorin Dickerson out of Pittsburgh, will be the new face in the group. Dickerson played the latter half of his college career at tight end, set-ting school records for touchdown receptions at that posi-tion. He has since shown the speed to play wide receiver in the NFL, while also maintaining some of the size and blocking ability that made him an elite collegiate tight end.

TIGHT ENDSThe tight end position was dealt a tough blow with the

loss of Pro Bowler Owen Daniels to a season-ending knee injury in Houston’s Week 8 win at Buffalo in 2009. Daniels was on pace for a career year, with 40 catches for 519 yards and five touchdowns through eight games.

Daniels had a successful return in the season opener

Arian Foster set Texans rushing records with 33 carries for 231 yards and tied a team record with three touch-downs in the season opener against Indianapolis.



and caught two passes for 24 yards at Washington. In five seasons, he has caught 214 passes for 2,569 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was elevated to the active roster from the Active PUP List the last week of the preseason.

The loss of Daniels in 2009 certainly affected the of-fense but was lessened as Joel Dreessen emerged as a viable receiving threat in his own right in Daniels’ ab-sence. Dreessen leads the team with 17.0 yards per catch (7-119) and led the Texans with five receptions for 73 yards in Week 4 at Oakland. He made a clutch catch in overtime in Week 2 against Washington, pulling down his first reception of the season, a 28-yarder that set up the game-winning field goal. Dreessen played in all 16 games for the second straight season and caught 26 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown. Since joining the Texans in 2007, Dreessen has caught 48 passes for 571 yards and four touchdowns.

Second-year TE James Casey is sure-handed option with with surprising speed. Casey has the ability to line up any-where on the field and caught six passes for 64 yards in his rookie year. He set a Texans preseason record with eight receptions against Tampa Bay on September 2.

The Texans added fourth-round draft pick Garrett Gra-ham. Graham set a Wisconsin school record for tight ends with 16 career touchdown receptions to go along with 121 catches and 1,492 yards. He started 33-of-40 games played for Wisconsin and earned First Team All-Big Ten Conference selections as a junior and senior.

OFFENSIVE LINEThe Texans offensive line has paved the way for the most

prolific season in franchise history in 2009 and may be re-setting records in 2010. In 2009, Houston’s passing attack led the league, averaging 290.9 yards per game. The unit is doing the same for the NFL’s No. 2 offense through Week 4, averaging 415.5 yards per game. The line used the 2010

season opener to show it’s physicality, opening holes for Arian Foster’s record rushing day and 257 total rushing yards and has paved the way for the NFL’s top-ranked rushing offense at 172.0 yards per game, while providing protection for the league’s ninth-best passing attack at 243.5 yards per game.

Houston’s line has already led the way for a pair of 200-yard rushing days through four games (257 vs. Indianapo-lis and 249 at Oakland), something the team had only done once in the eight years prior.

Fifth-year veteran Chris Myers has started 36 straight games at center, playing through injury, and has earned praise from head coach Gary Kubiak for his play through-out the season.

Mike Brisiel, who is coming off a left foot injury that placed him on injured reserve in 2009, rotates at right guard with Antoine Caldwell. Caldwell has the ability to play any of the three interior line positions and made three starts at right guard during his rookie campaign and saw action in 11 total games a year ago.

Brisiel and Caldwell both impressed head coach Gary Kubiak with their play during the preseason. The competi-tion was so tight at the right guard position that Kubiak didn’t announce a starter in his final preseason press conference. Caldwell started the first two games of the season. Brisiel started the last two games against Dallas and at Oakland.

At RT, Eric Winston has started 59 consecutive games for the Texans. Winston, a third-round pick in the 2006 draft, has started every game over the last four seasons and is widely considered one of the best right tackles in the league.

Fifth-year veteran Rashad Butler was the primary back-up at both tackle spots in 2009 and made his first career start in Week 3 against Dallas and improved upon his solid play the following week at Oakland, according to Kubiak.

Veteran newcomer G Wade Smith starts at LG. Smith played the majority of his snaps with the Kansas City Chiefs (2008-09) at right guard and center and worked primarily at tackle with the New York Jets (2006-07). The former third-round selection of Miami in 2003 has played in 77 career games with 37 starts, including three starts at left guard this season.

Duane Brown, Houston’s first-round pick in 2008, has started all 34 games of his career at left tackle. After split-ting reps as a rookie, Brown played nearly every offensive snap in 2009, missing only a few series in the second half at St. Louis (12/20) in Week 15. He will be out until the sev-enth game of the season and is currently serving a four-game suspension.

Kasey Studdard, the team’s sixth-round pick in the 2007 draft started 14 games in 2009 but was inactive for both games this season.

TE Owen Daniels made a successful return from a knee injury that knocked him out of half the 2009 season in season opener against Indianapolis.


ARIAN FOSTER NOTES

RB Arian Foster has burst onto the NFL rushing scene through four games this season and is in good but rare company with the numbers he has posted.

He is one of just three players in NFL history to accumulate more than 500 rushing yards and 100 yards receiving

in the season’s first four games. Foster’s 537 rushing yards leads the NFL and his 152 yards receving give him a league-best 689 yards from scrimmage. Only Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith and Billy Sims join Foster in accomplishing the feat.

MATT SCHAUB NOTES

QB Matt Schaub ranked in the top five among NFL quar-terbacks in five categories in 2009. After a slow start in the season opener, Schaub bounced back strong in Week 2 against Washington, completing 38-of-52 passes for a team record 497 yards and three touchdowns and may be on his way to a similar season in 2010. Schaub ranks in the AFC’s top five in six categories through Week 2.

QB Matt Schaub has been one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL from 2007-10, completing 67.2 percent of his pass attempts. Schaub hasn’t just dinked and dunked his way down the field, however.

Schaub has averaged 8.03 yards per pass attempt since joining the Texans in 2007, tied for the highest in the league in that time. That average would rank fifth in NFL history. Schaub’s overall career average of 7.86 yards per attempt is ninth all-time.

QB Matt Schaub led the NFL in passing yards in 2009 with 4,770. His favorite target, All-Pro WR Andre Johnson, led the league in receiving yards with 1,569. Schaub and Johnson are the eighth quarterback-receiver duo to do so since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 and the first since 1998.

Andre Johnson has been arguably the most dominant re-ceiver in the NFL since head coach Gary Kubiak was hired in 2006. Johnson’s production really exploded, however, when QB Matt Schaub took charge in 2007.

In the last four seasons, Johnson has averaged 97.3 yards per game. In the four seasons prior to Schaub’s ar-rival, Johnson averaged just 64.8 yards per game.

WR Kevin Walter has emerged as one of the most reliable pass-catching threats in the league since joining the Texans in 2006, and particularly over the last three seasons. Since 2007, Wal-ter has averaged 59.3 catches for 770 yards and five touchdowns per season.

He leads the team this season with 20 receptions for 242 yards.

Walter is second on the franchise’s all-time receiving yardage list, running neck-and-neck with TE Owen Dan-iels. He is tied for third all-time on Houston’s touchdowns scored list and has caught a touchdown in three of Hous-ton’s four games this season.

RB Arian Foster’s four career starts have yielded high returns. He rushed for 119 yards in his first career start in the 2009 season finale and opened the 2010 season with a team-record 231 yards in his second career start, followed by 69 yards on the ground. Foster’s 350 combined rushing yards in his first two starts is the highest two-game total in team history. Those yards came against the two most-dominant AFC teams in the last decade, the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts.

Foster’s back-to-back efforts bested Domanick Williams’ 294 yards in back-to-back games in 2006 and he owns one of five back-to-back 100-yard rushing performances in team history. The only Texan to rush for 100-plus yards in three consective games is RB Steve Slaton (12/1-12/14/08).

QUITE A PAIR


This is the way it was supposed to be: Texans offensive linemen C Chris Myers, RT Eric Winston and LT Rashad Butler all starting in the front five...six years ago.

Houston’s center and bookend tackles all played at the University of Miami at the same time and were projected to be on the same starting offensive line in 2004 until a set of unfortunate circumstances disrupted the plans.

Myers started all of 2004 at right tackle for the Hurricanes, while Winston, largely considered one of the best linemen in the country at the time, started at left tackle to begin his junior season.

Butler started the season with an injury and did not play until the fourth game of the year. In that same game, against Georgia Tech, Winston’s season ended with an ACL injury. Butler ended up start-ing the rest of the 2004 season at left tackle.

Myers graduated the following spring, ending for certain any chance of the trio starting together. When the three former Hurricanes started against Dallas on Week 3, it was a moment six years in the making.

TEXANS OFFENSIVE NOTES

When the Texans offense takes the field on Sunday, it will mark the next step in a long journey for LT Rashad Butler, who has gone from the brink of a forced early retirement to a starting job in the NFL.

Originally a third-round pick of the Caro-lina Panthers in 2006, Butler did not see

the field as a rookie and was waived in 2007. The Pan-thers let Butler go because for a reason they couldn’t de-termine, he rapidly began losing weight. Butler dropped from over 300 pounds to under 280, losing as much as 10 pounds over a two-day period.

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic inflammation of the digestive tract and is characterized by abdominal pain and diar-rhea. Like Crohn’s disease, another common IBD, ulcer-ative colitis can be debilitating and sometimes can lead to life-threatening complications. There’s no known cure for ulcerative colitis, but therapies are available that may dramatically reduce the signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis and even bring about a long-term remission.

Because Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center, the Texans were able to take Butler to some of the top physicians in the world. Once his condition was diag-nosed, the doctors placed him on a medication program to help him regain his appetite and energy. He remains on that regimen today.

BUTLER’S JOURNEY

Butler

“At first, when it was not diagnosed, it was really hard be-cause I didn’t know what was going on. I never had any-thing of this magnitude happen to me. But once everything was diagnosed and they got me on the medication I was supposed to get on, it wasn’t hard at all. My appetite came back really quick; my energy level came back really quick; my strength jumped up, so after that, it wasn’t hard at all.”

- Rashad Butler, Sept. 22

Offensive lineman often don’t get the recognition they deserve and the same goes for fullbacks. Texans FB Vonta Leach has been a key component in helping RB Arian Foster set a franchise record with 231 yards against Indianapo-lis in Week 1 and lead the NFL rushing

through Week 3. His performance against Indianapolis didn’t go unno-

ticed by head coach Gary Kubiak. “Well, (Leach) was voted co-MVP of the game,” Kubiak

said on Monday. “That’ll tell you how he played. With him and Arian together, it was the best I’ve seen Vonta play and I’ve seen him play some dang good games...He kind of makes us go when he’s playing that way, physical on the isolations and those types of things. It kind of gets us going. He is the personality to help our team get going. Among many guys, it was an excellent performance on his part.”

In addition to his blocking, Leach has done well receiving out of the backfield with three receptions for 38 yards and a pair of first downs.

2010 TEXANS HONORS


TEXANS DEFENSE

Houston’s defense in 2010 will be looking to replicate the week-to-week improvement it showed in 2009. From Week 4 onward last year, Frank Bush’s group ranked fourth in the league in total defense and ninth in scoring defense after ranking last in the league the first three weeks. This year, Houston has struggled early against the pass and is looking to turn that around in similar fashion.

One of the biggest keys to any successful defense is a strong group of leaders. The heart and soul of the Texans ‘D’ is DeMeco Ryans. The two-time Pro Bowl linebacker is the franchise’s all-time leading tackler and overwhelm-ingly voted as a team captain again this season.

Joining Ryans with the captain’s badge on their jerseys are fellow 2006 draft pick Mario Williams and a pair of second-year Texans, DE Antonio Smith and SS Bernard Pollard.

Williams, the top pick in the 2006 Draft, is one of the pre-mier pass rushers in the NFL and has 44.5 career sacks to his name. The addition of Smith to the defensive line in 2009 helped Houston put more pressure on the quar-terback. Smith, who tied for second on the team with 4.5 sacks a year ago, often slides inside on passing downs.

On the inside, the combination of fourth-year DT Amobi Okoye and free agent DT Shaun Cody helped the Texans tie for 10th in rushing defense a year ago. This season they aim to build on last year’s improvement and help establish Houston as a top-10 defense.

At linebacker, Ryans is joined by fourth-year WLB Zac Diles, who has developed into one of the biggest steals of the 2007 draft class. Diles has started at both outside line-backer positions in his career and is second on the team in tackles through four games with 37 total stops.

Sunday’s game against the New York Giants will mark the season debut of 2009 Defensive Rookie of the Year Brian Cushing. Cushing led the team with 133 tackles last year and had four sacks, four interceptions and two forced fumbles. After sitting out the first four games, he will look to hit the ground running on Sunday.

The secondary is led by Pollard, who quickly became the emotional leader of the defense last year. Pollard added a physical presence on the back end after signing with the Texans in Week 3 of 2009. Pollard tied for the team lead with four interceptions and scored two touchdowns - one on a fumble recovery and another on a 70-yard intercep-tion return.

Houston’s pass defense in 2010 will depend on the play of a young, but talented, group of cornerbacks. Glover Quinhas the most experience of the group with 15 starts to his name. Rookie first-round draft pick Kareem Jackson will man the opposite side of the field. The former Alabama star hopes to bring his championship-winning ways with him to the NFL.

DEFENSIVE OVERVIEW

DEFENSIVE ENDSLeading the way on the defensive line once again is Ma-

rio Williams, who earned his second consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl in 2009. Williams already has 5.0 sacks, three tackles for loss, 11 quarterback hits, a forced fumble and two passes defensed this year. Williams is the franchise’s career sack leader with 44.5.

Williams had more help than ever when it came to rush-ing the passer in 2009, thanks to the addition of Antonio Smith, who joined the Texans as a free agent last year after helping the Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII. Smith is a physical end who is off to a strong start in 2010 with 2.5 sacks, including a career-high 2.0 in Week 4 at Oakland.

Jesse Nading, who made the opening-day roster for the first time this season, is the primary backup at both end positions and often comes on in passing situations when Smith moves to tackle. Nading picked up his first career sack in the season opener vs. Indianapolis (9/12), team-ing with Williams to sack Colts QB Peyton Manning late in the game.

Houston signed a pair of veterans in Week 2 to comple-ment the pass rush. Ninth-year end Ryan Denney is fa-miliar with Texans assistant head coach/defensive line Bill Kollar, having played for him in Buffalo from 2006-08 in Buffalo. Denney recorded 23.5 sacks for the Bills from 2002-09. Adewale Ogunleye, an 11th-year vet, is an expe-rienced pass rusher with 67.0 career sacks for Miami and Chicago.

DEFENSE POSITION-BY-POSITION

DE Antonio Smith recorded 4.5 sacks in his first season as a Texan in 2009.


TEXANS DEFENSEPOSITION-BY-POSITION

DEFENSIVE TACKLESDefensive tackle Amobi Okoye bounced back from a dis-

appointing second season and became a more consistent contributor in 2009, setting a career high with 38 tackles, including 26 solo stops and added 1.5 sacks. Okoye will look to become a bigger force in the interior in his fourth season.

Houston bolstered the interior of the line last year by signing Shaun Cody away from Detroit as a free agent, and it proved to be a brilliant decision. Cody immediately solid-ified the middle of Houston’s defensive line. He recorded 21 tackles, including 12 solo stops, and 0.5 sacks in his first season as a Texan, helping the defense become one of the league’s most stout against the run.

The Texans bolstered their line in the 2010 NFL Draft, se-lecting Arizona’s Earl Mitchell in the third round. Mitch-ell, at 6-3, 291, continued Houston’s trend of seeking out quicker defensive linemen. He quickly developed a repu-tation in training camp as a player with a high motor. That energy helped him earn All-Pac 10 honors at Arizona.

Third-year tackle Frank Okam saw action in three games in his sophomore campaign in 2009. The biggest of the Texans defensive linemen at 6-5, 346, Okam spent the ma-jority of last year working on the scout team defense imi-tating the opposition’s best interior lineman. This season, he looks to establish himself in the defensive line rotation and play a bigger role in the Texans defense.

LINEBACKERSThe Texans linebacking corps will be anchored once

again by fifth-year MLB DeMeco Ryans. Ryans is the cap-tain and unquestioned leader of the defense, and earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl following the 2009 season. He became the first player in franchise history to record 500 career tackles in Week 15 of 2009, leads the NFL with 425 solo tackles since 2006 and has registered 10 or more tackles in 25 of his 68 career games.

The biggest addition to the defense this week will be Brian Cushing, who returns after missing the first four games due to suspension. Cushing started every game his rookie season and finished second in the AFC with a team-leading 133 tackles. He also had four interceptions, two forced fumbles, a safety and 4.0 sacks. His outstand-ing play landed him a slew of awards and honors, includ-ing AP Defensive Rookie of the Year, PFWA Rookie of the Year, second-team AP All-Pro and a spot in the Pro Bowl. He was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week and NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month twice each.

WLB Zac Diles rebounded from a broken leg that ended his 2008 campaign to play in all 16 games for the first time in his career in 2009 and finished last year with 61 tackles, including 45 solo stops, and seven tackles for loss. Head coach Gary Kubiak offered high praise for Diles this off-season, saying that he believes Diles is on the verge of be-coming a Pro Bowl-caliber linebacker. Diles has validated that belief early on with 37 tackles through four games.

The player who stepped up the most in Cushing’s place was third-year linebacker Xavier Adibi. Adibi played in all 16 games in a reserve role last year and finished with three total tackles. He started three of the first four games and registered 10 tackles with the first-team defense.

Special teams standout and ninth-year veteran Kevin Bentley is once again Ryans’ top backup in the middle. Bentley has starting experience in Houston, having started the final seven games of the 2008 season at SAM linebacker after Diles broke his leg. Bentley’s teammates elected him as captain on special teams in 2009 and again this year. He has led the team in special teams tackles each of the previous two seasons.

New to the Texans is fourth-round draft pick Darryl Sharpton. Sharpton started 30 of the 52 games he played at the University of Miami at three different linebacking positions. Second-year LB David Nixon was signed by the Texans on September 5 and has provided depth on special teams. Nixon made his Texans debut in Week 2 at Wash-ington (9/19).

DT Amobi Okoye started all 16 games for the first time in his career in 2009.


DEFENSEPOSITION-BY-POSITION

CORNERBACKSThe Texans will have one of the youngest starting cor-

nerback duos in the NFL this season with second-year man Glover Quin and rookie Kareem Jackson manning the two starting positions. A fourth-round draft pick in 2009, Quin moved into the starting lineup in Week 4 vs. Oakland (10/4) and started 12 games in 2009. He finished fourth on the team with 64 tackles and had a team-high 11 passes defensed in his rookie campaign.

The Texans selected Jackson in the first round with the 20th overall selection following his junior season with 2009 BCS National Champion Alabama. He returned an inter-ception 79 yards and had 13 pass breakups and 49 tackles during Alabama’s national championship run.

Another rookie from a year ago, Brice McCain, a sixth-round draft pick in 2009, played a vital role in the team’s pass defense. McCain played in all 16 games with two starts and had 11 solo tackles, three passes defensed and an interception.

Antwaun Molden excelled on special teams as a rookie in 2008 but has seen each of his first two seasons cut short by injury. Molden has played in 19 games and was select-ed to USA Today’s All-Joe Team in 2008.

The Texans also selected Northwestern University CB Sherrick McManis in the fifth round of the draft. McManis has been lauded for his tremendous football instincts and fought through injury his senior season at NU to earn the team’s Defensive MVP honor.

Houston signed veteran corner Karl Paymah on Sept. 29. Paymah has played in 73 games with seven starts and has 74 career tackles, three interceptions and 14 passes defensed.

SAFETIESBernard Pollard joined the Texans as free agent in the

third week of 2009 and finished third on the team with a career-high 102 tackles and tied for the team lead with four interceptions to go along with 1.5 sacks. He notched a career-high two interceptions in Week 9 at Indianapolis (11/8) and scored his second career touchdown in Week 13 vs. Seattle (12/13) on a 70-yard interception return for touchdown. Pollard’s intense, fiery playing style has rubbed off on his teammates, who elected him as a defen-sive co-captain this year.

Veteran FS Eugene Wilson fought through a knee injury suffered in a 2009 preseason game for nine games before before a foot injury ended his season prematurely. Wilson finished the season with 29 tackles and two interceptions.

Troy Nolan, who was taken in the seventh round of the 2009 draft by the Texans, missed his entire rookie season due to a broken arm suffered in the first preseason game of last season. Nolan saw his first extended playing time in Week 4 at Oakland (10/3) and responded with two inter-ceptions and four tackles.

Second-year safety Dominique Barber took advantage of the opportunity when Wilson went down and started a career-high four games before seeing his season cut one game short due to a hamstring injury in 2009. Barber fin-ished the year with 25 tackles, four passes defensed and one interception. He also scored his first career touch-down in the 2009 season opener on a 48-yard fumble re-turn for touchdown. This season he’ll back up Pollard and will be a vital part of the coverage units on special teams.

CB Glover Quin (29) finished fourth on the team with 64 tackles as a rookie in 2009.

SS Bernard Pollard posted a career-best 102 tackles and tied for the team lead with four interceptions in 2009.


BRIAN CUSHING NOTES

LB Brian Cushing either led the team or tied for the team lead in tackles nine times in 2009. Cushing led all rookie defenders with 133 tackles and was one of just five rook-ies to rank in the league’s top 100 tacklers.

Cushing tied for second among rookies with four inter-ceptions and was the only linebacker in the top six. He also tied for fourth among rookies with 4.0 sacks, trailing teammate DE Connor Barwin who had 4.5.

LB DeMeco Ryans finished fifth in the AFC and 10th over-all with 123 tackles in 2009. The Texans were the only team in the NFL with two players in the top 10 on the league’s tackle chart in 2009.

MARIO WILLIAMS NOTES

Mario Williams is one of the most disruptive pass rush-ers in the NFL, with 40.0 sacks over the last three-plus sea-sons. What makes Williams special is that he is equally adept at playing the run. His 17.5 tackles for loss since 2007 are the second-most by an AFC defensive lineman.

Williams’ 57.5 total negative plays (sacks and tackles for loss) since 2007 are the fourth-most in the NFL.

GETTING INTO THE BACKFIELD

Mario Williams is off to a great start to the 2010 season with 4.0 sacks through three games. He has had a hand in six of the Texans’ nine sacks this season, registering a pair of half-sacks in the season opener vs. Indianapolis (9/12) and following that with a three-sack performance in Week 2 at Washington (9/19), plus one sack at Oakland (10/3).

Williams has traditionally gotten better as the season progresses. That trend appears to bode well for him and for the Texans defense.

MARIO WILLIAMS NOTES

With the New York Giants on the schedule this week, Mario Williams gets another chance to attack an NFC offensive line. Whether it’s a lack of familiarity or other factors, Williams has been particularly effective against NFC foes.

In 18 career games against the NFC, Williams has re-corded 11.0 sacks, including 3.0 earlier this year at Wash-ington (9/19). Williams’ 11.0 sacks against NFC teams over the last four years are the fifth-most among AFC defend-ers.

DEFENSE NOTES

Through three games a year ago, Houston ranked last in rushing defense, giving up 205.0 yards per game on the ground. In Week 4, the Texans held the Raiders to just 45 yards on the ground. Over the last 13 games of the sea-son, Houston held opponents to just 84.3 rushing yards per game, which was second-best in the NFL.

ANOTHER TEXANS TURNAROUND?

The Houston defense has excelled on third down over the first four weeks of the season. The Texans defense held its first four opponents to a combined 15-of-45 (33.3 percent) conversion rate. That is tied for the seventh-low-est conversion rate allowed in the NFL.

GETTING OFF THE FIELD

Houston has been stout against the run in its first four games this season. With a quarter of the regular season complete, the Texans rank second in the league, allowing a paltry 70.3 yards per game.

That is easily the best per-game defensive average in team history. The current record is 106.9 rushing yards per game allowed in 2009.

GAME AGAINST THE RUN

Through the first four games of the season, Houston’s rushing defense has been solid. While teams have not run the ball very often against the Texans, their running backs have been met with stiff opposition nearly every time.

Houston’s opponents have rushed 79 times for 281 yards, an average of 3.6 yards per carry. That is the seventh-lowest rushing average allowed in the NFL this season.

NOTHING TO GAIN


DEFENSE NOTES

Second-year FS Troy Nolan waited a long time to get his first real chance on defense, but that wait proved to be worthwhile.

Nolan broke his hand in the first preseason game of his rookie year and spent the entire season on injured re-serve. This year, he earned a roster spot in training camp but remained relegated to special teams work for the first three weeks before getting his shot last Sunday at Oak-land (10/3).

Nolan came on as a substitute and made an immediate impact, tying the team record with two interceptions to go along with four tackles. He was the sixth player in Texans history to pick off two passes in a game.

TAKEAWAY TROY

Houston’s secondary will be one of the most scrutinized and sternly tested units in the NFL to start the season. While the safeties both have a few years of experience under their belts, the Texans cornerbacks are the young-est group in the league.

Going into the season opener vs. Indianapolis (9/12), Houston’s top four corners had played in a combined 32 games with 12 starts, all by Glover Quin. Houston’s cor-ners average 23.0 years of age and a mere 1.8 years of NFL experience.

HOUSTON’S KIDDIE CORNERS

DILES IS DYNAMITE

In the season opener vs. Indianapolis (9/12), fourth-year LB Zac Diles led the team with 12 tackles, which was just one shy of his career high. For Diles, a seventh-round pick in 2007, the strong performance was the continuation of a trend.

Diles won the starting job at SLB in his second season and was leading the team with 66 tackles through eight games before a broken leg derailed his year. In 2009, Diles won the starting WLB job and put together another strong year, finishing with 61 tackles, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

This season, he is second on the team with 37 tackles, including 26 solo tackles.

ANTONIO’S AWESOME AFTERNOON

DE Antonio Smith enjoyed an outstanding game last Sunday at Oakland (10/3). He ignited the Texans defensive effort with an early sack of Raiders QB Bruce Gradkowski on the game’s opening drive, then sacked Gradkowski for a second time in the second quarter.

Smith’s 2.0 sacks in the game tied a career high which, ironically, he set against his current team while playing for the Arizona Cardinals. It was Smith’s second career multi-sack game and his first with multiple sacks and a forced fumble.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

K Neil Rackers earned over a job that only one other man in Texans history has held. Rackers won the tightest battle of training camp and took over the kicking duties formerly held by Kris Brown for the last eight seasons.

Rackers hit on 16-of-17 field goal attempts for Arizona last season (94.1 percent) and scored 85 points before an injury forced him to miss the last few weeks of the season. Through three games this year, he is 8-of-10 (80.0 percent) on field goal attempts, including the game-winner in over-time at Washington (9/19).

P Matt Turk has averaged 42.4 yards per punt in his ca-reer and has averaged better than 41 yards per attempt in all but one season. Turk’s 42.8-yard average in 2009 set a Texans record, marking the third consecutive season in which he broke the existing mark. Only 404 of Turk’s 1,051 career punts (38.4 percent) have been returned.

WR Jacoby Jones holds the Texans career record for punt return average at 10.9 yards per return over the last three seasons. He tied the Texans career record for total returns for touchdown when he scored the third of his ca-reer in 2009.

SPECIAL TEAMS OVERVIEW

KICKERNeil Rackers has made 213 of 272 career field goal at-

tempts (78.3 percent) and converted 302 of 307 career extra points attempts (98.3 percent), giving him 934 total career points in 11 NFL seasons. Rackers set an NFL re-cord for most field goals made in a season in 2005, when he went 40-of-42 (95.2 percent) with the Arizona Cardinals. His 941 career points puts him in 49th place all-time among kickers.

PUNTERMatt Turk averaged a franchise-record 42.8 yards per

punt in 2009, besting his own mark of 42.3 yards per punt in 2008. Turk has broken the team record in each of the last three seasons and is playing in his 15th NFL season.

LONG SNAPPERJon Weeks Signed with the Texans during the offseason

and has handled every . Weeks snapped at Baylor for cur-rent Chicago Bear and two-time Ray Guy Award winner P Daniel Sepulveda.

RETURNERSWR Jacoby Jones averaged 10.9 yards per punt return

and also returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. RB Steve Slaton has averaged 20.3 yards on 12 kickoff returns this season.

SPECIAL TEAMS POSITION-BY-POSITION

Texans P Matt Turk has been excellent throughout his career when it comes to limiting punt returns, and he has been tremendous in that regard through four games this season.

Only five of Turk’s 14 punts (35.7 percent) have been returned. The five opponent punt returns are tied for the fourth-fewest allowed in the NFL this season.

PUNT OF NO RETURN

TE Joel Dreessen earned a spot on the Texans roster in 2007 through his versatility. Dreessen not only sees exten-sive playing time on offense, he also leads the team with five special teams tackles and is the reserve long snapper.

Dreessen’s five special teams tackles lead the team, while on offense he has caught seven passes for 119 yards and a touchdown. His 17.0-yard average is the high-est on the team so far this season.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

WR Jacoby Jones emerged in 2009 as one of Houston’s most explosive offensive weapons, with four touchdown catches on the year. Jones continues to establish himself as one of the most dangerous return men in the NFL, also.

Over the last three seasons, Jones is averaging 11.4 yards per punt return. That average is tied for third in the NFL in that time span.

On the ground, the Tex-ans went from giving up 205.0 yards per game over the first three games to 84.3 over the rest of the year, which was the second-lowest average in the league in that time.

The Texans passing attack led the NFL in 2009, averaging 290.9 yards per game. A large portion of the credit for that success goes to a sure-handed group of receivers.

According to STATS, Inc., Texans receivers dropped only 20 passes in 2009 out of 419 catchable passes, or 4.8 per-cent of the time. Both numbers were the best in the NFL.

IN GOOD HANDS

Houston finished the season at 9-7, setting a team record for most wins in a season thanks to four straight victories to clinch the franchise’s first winning record.

Since head coach Gary Kubiak was hired in 2006, the Texans have gone 14-6 in the final month of the season. That .700 winning percentage in December and January is the fourth-highest in the league over the last four years.

A look at Kubiak‘s record in season finales indicated that a win was in the cards. Kubiak is 4-0 in season finales since taking over in 2006.

The Texans opponent the last four years has had either a playoff spot or playoff seeding on the line heading into the last game of the season.

PRACTICE GUIDELINES/MEDIA INFORMATION

Designated Media will be allowed at all practices. Dur-ing each practice, the team will use two practice fields. The area between the two practice fields – where the scissor lift is located – is off-limits to media, but media can walk the perimeter of the fields.

Photographers can only cross the covered area if they are accompanied by a Texans PR representative. Photog-raphers can shoot selected portions of practice. Tripods are allowed at practice, however they must be seven yards from the sideline and behind the line of scrimmage at all times. Please do not leave tripods unattended. To not impede the view of the fans at practice, all photographers must kneel when shooting in front of the stands.

Members of the communications staff will be on the field during all practices to assist with any questions. During practices held inside the bubble, all media must stay on the near sideline.
