TEXANS VS. TITANS

TEXANS FACE TAKE ON THE TITANS ON MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALLThe Houston Texans welcome the Tennessee Titans to Reliant Stadium for ESPN’s Monday Night Football on No-vember 23 at 7:30 p.m. This marks the Texans second game on the NFL’s Monday night stage. Houston defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-17 last December. This marks the Texans third straight season with an appearance in prime time. Houston defeated Denver 31-13 in 2007 on Thursday Night Football. Under head coach Gary Kubiak the Texans are 2-0 under the lights.

The Texans will don their all-red attire Monday, which has become somewhat of a tradition dating back to 2007. The Texans are 2-1 all-time in their red jeseys and pants and 7-3 in their red jerseys. Houston ‘s only matchup against Tennessee in red came in 2004 when they fell behind 21-3, but came storming back to win 31-21 at home.

Houston and Tennessee meet for the second time this season. The two met in an epic clash in Week 2 as the Texans escaped Nashville with a hard-fought 34-31 win at LP Field. Texans QB Matt Schaub threw for 357 yards and a career-high four touchdown passes on the day. The Texans have won the last two games in this series.

The Texans return to the field following their bye week. Houston seek to improve on their 1-2 record after the bye week under Kubiak. The Texans only win came in 2007 when they defeated the New Orleans Saints 23-10 at home. The Texans just finished a five-game stretch that saw them play four on the road. Houston finished 3-2 including a pair of wins on the road. The Texans enter Monday night riding a two-game home winning streak with wins over Oakland and San Francisco.

Houston enters Monday ranked 14th against the run. In the Week 2 matchup, the Titans ran for 240 yards, their most all season. Since Week 4, the Texans lead the NFL giving up 60.5 yards per game.

TEXANS VS. TITANSHEAD COACH INFORMATION

GARY KUBIAK

Houston Texans Head Coach

2006-09: Head Coach, Houston Texans 2003-05: Offensive Coordinator, Denver Broncos 1995-02: Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks, Denver Broncos 1994: Quarterbacks, San Francisco 49ers 1992-93: Running Backs, Texas A&M

In just four seasons at the helm, Gary Kubiak has become the winningest head coach in Texans his-tory with 27 career victories, including the two best seasons in team history. One of Kubiak’s pri-mary 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 Tex-ans have posted a 18-10 home record since 2006, including 6-2 marks in each of the last two seasons. The 2008 Texans matched their record from the year before, 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 south-east Texas. Houston became just the 10th team in NFL history to start a year 0-4 and finish at or above .500. Houston was one of 11 teams to go 8-4 or bet-ter over the last 12 games and nine of those teams were in the playoffs. The offense enjoyed its most productive season, 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 record 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. Closing the season strong has become a hallmark of Kubiak’s teams. In Kubiak’s three seasons in Houston, the Texans are a combined 10-5 in the month of Decem-ber. Another point of emphasis under Kubiak has been developing a true home field advantage, and the team is well on its way to accomplishing that mission. After going 4-4 at Reliant Stadium in 2006, which was the best home mark at the time, Kubiak’s troops posted a 6-2 mark at home the past two years.

JEFF FISHERTennessee Titans Head Coach

1994-09: Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans, Head Coach1994: Houston Oilers, Defensive Coordinator1992-93: San Francisco 49ers, Defensive Backs1991: Los Angeles Rams, Defensive Coordinator1988-90: Philadelphia Eagles, Defensive Coordinator1986-88: Philadelphia Eagles, Defensive Back

Jeff Fisher is entering his 16th full season as Head Coach of the Tennessee Titans and his 11th as execu-tive vice president. Fisher holds the franchise record for wins by a head coach with 136 victories and is the NFL leader in tenure with one team among ac-tive coaches. Entering this season, he ranks 22nd on the NFL’s career head coaching wins list and second among active coaches (Belichick, 159). Over the last 11 seasons (1999-2009), Fisher has guided the franchise to seven playoff appearances - only two teams (Indianapolis and Philadelphia) have more appearances during that time. During his tenure, his accomplishments include the six playoff appear-ances (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008), three Divi-sion titles (2000, 2002, 2008), two AFC Championship Games (1999, 2002) and one Super Bowl berth (XXXIV). Last season was one of the most success-ful regular seasons in franchise history - captur-ing the AFC South title, matching a franchise best and league high 13 wins, smashing the franchise record for wins to start a season with 10 and eight players earning Pro Bowl invitations. The team was driven by a dynamic run game, an efficient pass-ing game and one of the league’s best defenses. After rising to head coaching duties during the 1994 season, Fisher guided the team’s move east be-tween 1995 and 1998 helped bond the team and form an identity of strength and the ability to overcome. Since 1995, the Titans/Oilers have amassed the third best road record in the NFL with a 61-51 mark during that time, including a 6-2 mark during the 2008 campaign.

Rick SmithHouston Texans General Manager

2006-09: General Manager, Houston Texans 2006: Assistant General Manager, Denver Broncos2000-05: Director of Pro Personnel, Denver Broncos1996-99: Defensive Assistant, Denver Broncos

With Rick Smith at the helm of the Texans football oper-ations, Houston has accumulated 27 wins over the four seasons since 2006, giving him the most wins for a gen-eral manager in Texans history. Houston posted 16 wins in 2007-08 which ranked fifth-most among AFC teams. Smith has assembled a front office staff that has the Texans pointed towards sustained success in the NFL. Smith has established himself as a prominent voice around the league in his three years at the helm of the Texans. Smith was honored with the Tank Younger Award in 2008 presented annually by the Fritz Pollard Alliance for outstanding work in an NFL front office. Smith was an original member of the General Manag-ers Advisory 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, before being ap-pointed to the NFL’s prestigious eight-man Competi-tion Committee by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Smith has assembled a team that has closed the season by winning seven out of nine games in the month of December over the last two seasons, the fourth-most in the NFL. This offseason, the Texans acquired DE Antonio Smith from the NFC Champion

Arizona Cardinals to balance the Texans defensive front four. In the 2009 draft, Smith greatly improved the Texans defense using the team’s first two selec-tions on LB Brian Cushing and DE Connor Barwin.

TEXANS VS. TITANS GAME PREVIEW

The Tennessee Titans are 3-6 and in fourth place in the AFC South Division heading into Week 11 against the Texans. Last Sunday, Tennessee won their third game in a row in beating the Buffalo Bills 41-17 at LP Field. Jeff Fisher is in his 15th full season as head coach of the Tennessee Titans. Fisher is the NFL leader in ten-ure with one team among all active coaches. QB Vince Young took over as starting quarter-back in Week 8, when the Titans were 0-6. Since Young took over, the Titans have won three straight. Since taking over the starting job, Young has completed 44-of-62 passes for 507 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. He has a career record of 21-11 in games in which he has started. Two-time Pro Bowl se-lection Kerry Collins is now serving as Young’s backup quarterback after starting the previous 21 games for the Titans. Tennessee’s 2008 first-round draft choice, RB Chris Johnson, is currently leading the NFL with 1,091 yards on 170 carries and eight touchdowns. Last week, Johnson ran for 132 yards on the ground and had 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns. He is joined in the backfield by LenDale White, who tied for third in the

league with 15 touchdowns last year. The Titans used their first-round draft choice this year on WR Kenny Britt, an explosive playmaker with size and speed. Britt set a Big East record with 3,043 yards receiving in his three years at Rutgers. In his first season, Britt is leading the Titans with 351 yards re-ceiving on 22 receptions. WR Justin Gage had a team-high 651 yards receiving and six touchdowns a year ago and is second on the team with 302 yard receiving so far in 2009. TE Bo Scaife was the leader in recep-tions in 2008 with 58 catches while compiling 561 yards. The Titans defensive line lost All-Pro DT Albert Haynesworth to free agency and but still look to keep heavy pressure on opposing offenses. Last year, Ten-nessee was one of only two teams to allow less than 15 points per game. The team signed DT Jovan Haye from Tampa Bay and drafted DT Sen’Derrick Marks to help in the rotation to try and replace Haynesworth. LB Keith Bulluck is the veteran leader of the defense and leads the defense with 79 tackles (including 56 solo) this year. Cortland Finnegan had a breakthrough year last year with five interceptions and 79 tackles to es-tablish himself as an elite cornerback, while Pro Bowl FS Michael Griffin, CB Nick Harper and SS Chris Hope round out an excellent secondary. K Rob Bironas has made 14-of-17 field goals and is a perfect 19-for-19 in PAT attempts this season, good for 61 points. P Brett Kern has punted 12 times for a 44.1-yard average. Kern has played the last three games for the Titans, after spending the first six games of 2009 with the Denver Broncos. The Titans have used a kick return by committee approach in 2009, but RB Alvin Pearman has returned all punts and kickoffs the past two weeks in wins over Buffalo and San Francisco.

TEXANS/TITANS SERIES HISTORY

Houston enters Monday’s matchup on a two-game winning streak over Tennessee. The Titans grabbed a 21-7 lead midway through the second quarter, but the Texans would eventually tie the game at 24 going into half time.

SUMMARYThe Texans (7-7) defeated their AFC South rivals, the Tennessee Titans, 13-12 for the first time since 2004. WR Andre Johnson led the way with 11 catches for a franchise-record 207 yards and the game’s only touch-down. Tennessee struck first with a 26-yard field goal by K Rob Bironas. The Texans bounced back with a 32-yard field goal by K Kris Brown. After a quick stuff by the Texans defense, QB Matt Schaub connected with Johnson on the longest pass of the year for the Texans, a 65-yarder, then hit Johnson for a 13-yard score to go in front 10-3. Just before the half, Bironas connected on 23-yard field goal to bring the score to 10-6 at in-termission. Early in the third, Bironas nailed his third field goal of the game from 51 yards out. Brown hit his second field goal of the game, this time from 24 yards, to push the lead to 13-9. Bironas nailed a 34-yarder to bring the Titans within a point. Houston’s defense stopped the Titans on a crucial fourth down attempt, and the offense ran out the clock. RB Steve Slaton ran for 100 yards on 24 carries in the game.

RELIANT STADIUM INFORMATION

The Houston Texans officially played their first game in Reliant Stadium on September 8, 2002, against the Dallas Cowboys. The $425 million building is the first retractable roof stadium in the NFL and is also the new home of the Houston Livestock Show and Ro-deo. Reliant Stadium was also host to Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004. The roof is composed of two panels - each 240 feet long and 385 feet wide - that meet at midfield. In addition to the roof, another unique fea-ture to the stadium is the removable grass field. The field is composed of 8-foot by 8-foot square modules that are 8 inches deep and include a metal drainage base. There are approximately 1,250 modules in the field, with each one weighing about 3,500 pounds. Here are some other facts about Reliant Stadium:The Texans also added a few more seats to Reliant Sta-dium for Super Bowl XXXVIII, increasing the seating ca-pacity to 71,054. The stadium entered the 2002 season with 69,500 seats. The two video boards located be-hind the north and south end zones measure 96 ½ feet by 26 ½ feet and are the largest in the NFL and can dis-play one image or six different images simultaneously.

• Theroofweighsatotalof3,000tonsandiscov-ered in translucent fabric. It can open in 7-10 minutes.

• Totalsizeofthebuilding–1.9millionsquarefeet.The decision to open or close the roof is made one hour and 30 minutes prior to kickoff. If the roof is closed at kickoff, it stays closed for the remainder of the game. If the roof is open at kickoff, it is up to the official to decide whether the roof should be closed at some point during the course of the game. If the roof is open with five minutes left in the game, it must stay open for the remainder of the game.

THE 50-80 RULEWith the roof damage suffered from Hurricane Ike early last season repaired, the Texans again have the option of playing in ideal conditions. The Texans in-troduced the 50-80 rule in 2005 which implies that the roof will be open the when the game time tempera-ture is projected to be between 50 and 80 degrees. The goal for implementing the “50-80 Rule” is to provide the most comfortable environment pos-sible for fans to enjoy Houston Texans home games.The expected high for Monday’s matchup is in the mid-60’s at kickoff, with a light chance of rain meaning Reliant Stadium could possibly be open.

HOUSTON’S RAVING FANSThe Texans have played to sellout crowds since entering the NFL. The Texans increased the Re-

liant Stadium capacity following the 2002 sea-son to 71,054, incorporating more “Raving Fans.” Houston has sold out 76 consecutive games and looks to continue the trend in 2009. The Texans are looking to continue their streak of selling out every preseason and regular sea-son game in team history. Monday’s matchup against Tennessee will extend the streak to 77.

OUT-RUSHING TO JUDGEMENT

Ever since he was hired in 2006, head coach Gary Ku-biak has stressed the importance of having a strong running game, and the evidence on the field has prov-en that philosophy to be true throughout his tenure. The Texans have outrushed their opponents 28 times under Kubiak, and they are 21-7 in those games. Houston outgained the Colts 81 to 72 in the Texans 20-17 loss in Week 9 (11/8).

EXPLOSIVE PASSING ATTACK

The Texans offense is averaging 374.9 yards per game this season, which ranks sixth in the NFL. A big reason for the offense’s productivity has been the ability to hit the big play, particularly through the air. Houston has produced 36 plays of 20 or more yards this season, which ranks 11th in the league. The passing attack has accounted for 33 of those, which is tied for fifth-most.

MOVING THE CHAINS

Houston’s offense ranks sixth in the NFL, averaging 374.9 yards per game, and one reason for that success is the ability to keep drives alive by gaining first downs. The Texans rank 10th in the league with 182 first downs on the season, an average of 20.2 per game. Houston gained a team-record 340 first downs a year ago.

THE LAST ORIGINAL TEXANS

There are just two remaining members of the original Houston Texans team from 2002—K Kris Brown and G Chester Pitts. Brown is the franchise’s all-time leading scorer with 716 points and is the only player to have appeared in every game in franchise history. Pitts had started ev-ery game in franchise history before being placed on injured reserve on September 24, ending his streak at 114. Brown was signed as a restricted free agent in 2002, while Pitts was the second of two second-round picks in the 2002 NFL Draft.

THE “I’M A TEXAN” CLUB

There are 13 coaches and players on the 2009 Houston Texans training camp roster who are from Texas or played their college football in the Lone Star State, led by head coach Gary Kubiak, who grew up in Houston and played at Texas A&M. Eleven Texans players and coaches grew up in Texas, with five hailing from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and three from the Greater Houston area. Seven played at Texas colleges, with The University of Texas leading the way with three.

TEXANS VS. TITANSOFFENSIVE OVERVIEW

OFFENSIVE OVERVIEW

The Texans offense came into the 2009 season intent on improving on its performance in 2008 when it turned in the most productive season in franchise history, gaining a franchise-record 6,113 yards. Houston’s yardage total ranked third in the NFL last season under first-year offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. Houston’s 4,267 passing yards were also a franchise record, and the team’s 1,846 rushing yards were the second-most in club history. This season, the offense ranks sixth with an aver-age of 374.9 yards per game, which puts it on pace to gain 5,998 yards on the year. The passing attack has been even more prolific this season, averaging 284.1 yards per game. Despite ranking third in the league in yards last year, the Texans were just 17th in scoring, averaging 22.9 points per game. The cause of that disparity was turnovers, and that has been a major point of focus this year. Houston has a positive turnover ratio through the first nine games, causing 17 turnovers and giving up 16. The Texans are 17-2 under head coach Gary Kubiak when winning the turnover battle. Calling the signals under center once again is QB Matt Schaub. In his second year as a starter, Schaub passed for 3,043 yards and 15 touchdowns in 11 starts. It was his first career 3,000-yard season. Schaub was 6-5 as a starter last season. His overall record with the Texans is 15-16. Schaub’s primary receiving option will once again be WR Andre Johnson, who has established him-self as arguably the best receiver in the NFL. Johnson’s 1,575 receiving yards and his 115 receptions were both tops in the league in 2008, making him the first player to lead the league in both categories since 2005. On the ground, Houston looks to second-year RB Steve Slaton, who led all NFL rookies with a franchise-record 1,282 rushing yards a year ago. Slaton led the team in rushing in 15 of 16 games, and his five 100-yard games were a team single-season record. In addition to Johnson, Schaub had a number of other weapons to throw to, led by WR Kevin Walter. Walter tied for third in the AFC with eight touchdown catches. The key to the offense’s success in 2008, how-ever, was the offensive line. Under the leadership of T Eric Winston, who has started the last 48 games at RT, the line paved the way for a franchise-record 4.3-yard rushing average and allowed a mere 32 sacks on 555 pass attempts.

OFFENSE POSITION BY POSITION

QuarterbacksThe Texans offense is in the highly capable hands of Matt Schaub once again in 2009. Schaub started 11 games in his second season in Houston, throwing for 3,043 yards and leading the Texans to a 6-5 record. Schaub has posted elite numbers in 2009, rank-ing among the league’s top five passers in six catego-ries. He is third in the league in passing yards (2,653), is fourth in completions (220), is fifth in attempts (326) and completion percentage (67.5), and is tied for fifth in touchdown passes with 17. His 98.1 passer rating ranks sixth. In three seasons as the Texans starter, Schaub has thrown for 7,937 yards with 41 touchdowns and 28 interceptions. Schaub has posted a quarterback rat-ing of 92.9 since joining the team, which is by far the highest in franchise history among quarterbacks with at least 200 pass attempts.

Rex Grossman comes to Houston after spending the first six years of his career in Chicago, where he guided the Bears to Super Bowl XLI in 2006. The Bears’ first-round pick in 2003, Grossman has thrown for 6,164 yards with 33 touchdowns and 35 interceptions in his career. Houston signed Dan Orlovsky on the open-ing weekend of free agency. Orlovsky started seven games in 2008 for the Detroit Lions, completing 143-of-255 passes for 1,616 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Running BacksHouston’s rushing attack in 2008 was led by rookie Steve Slaton, who burst onto the scene with a fran-chise-record 1,282 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on his way to winning the rookie rushing title. Slaton led the AFC with 1,659 total yards from scrimmage. In just 24 career games, Slaton has already moved into second place on the franchise’s all-time rushing list with 1,641 career rushing yards.

One of the team’s priorities during training camp is to find a bigger back to provide a change of pace from the diminutive but speedy Slaton. Veteran Chris Brown will get the first crack at the role. After spend-ing all of 2008 on injured reserve, Brown will look to showcase his abilities in the preseason. Brown has run for 2,899 yards and 17 touchdowns in his career. Fifth-year pro Ryan Moats backed up Slaton during the second half of the 2008 season and rushed for 94 yards on 26 carries. In five pro seasons, Moats has totaled 661 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Moats also has experience as a kick returner, averag-ing 21.6 yards on 13 career returns.

Fullback Vonta Leach played in every game and served as a team captain several times late in the 2008 sea-son. His primary function will again be to clear running room for Slaton and the Texans’ other running backs. Leach has proven to be a reliable receiver out of the backfield with 60 career receptions for 374 yards and three touchdowns.

Wide ReceiversThe Texans receiving corps, led by All-Pro Andre John-son, will look to remain one of the deepest and most dangerous groups in the NFL. Johnson led the league in receptions (115) and receiving yards (1,575) a year ago and tied his own team record with eight touch-down catches. Johnson has 540 career receptions for 7,179 yards and 37 touchdowns. Since 2006, Johnson has been the most productive receiver in the NFL, av-eraging 87.5 yards per game.

Kevin Walter will once again line up opposite Johnson. Walter enjoyed the best season of his ca-reer in 2008, catching 60 passes for 876 yards and ty-ing Johnson for the team lead with a career-high eight touchdown catches. Walter and Johnson formed the most productive receiving duo in the NFL last year, combining for 2,474 receiving yards. David Anderson played in all 16 games last sea-son, catching 19 passes for 241 yards and two touch-downs – all career highs. Anderson has continued to expanding his role in the offense in his fourth season, catching 18 passes for 180 yards thus far. André Davis returns as one of the preeminent deep threats in the league. Since joining the Texans in 2007, Davis has caught 50 passes for 824 yards and three touchdowns. He has nine receptions of 25 yards or longer, meaning nearly one out of every five catches results in a big gain. Third-year pro Jacoby Jones has made his mark returning punts, but will enter training camp looking to turn his tremendous athleticism into consistent playing time in the offense. In three seasons, Jones has caught 31 passes for 468 yards and three touchdowns. Veteran Glenn Martinez joined the Texans as a free agent after spending the first three years of his ca-reer with the Denver Broncos. Martinez has played in 22 games with one start and has caught 18 passes for 218 yards in his career.

2009


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 (11/1). Daniels was on pace for a career year, with 40 catch-es for 519 yards and five touchdowns through eight games. In four seasons, he has caught 207 passes for 2,501 yards and 15 touchdowns. Joel Dreessen emerged as a terrific compliment to Daniels as a receiver in 2008 and will take on a bigger role in the base offense in Daniels’ absence. Dreessen played in all 16 games a year ago and caught 11 passes for 77 yards. After re-signing with the Texans over the offseason, Dreessen has caught seven passes for 67 yards this year. He also handles the long-snapping du-ties for the team. Houston used a pair of picks in the 2009 NFL Draft on tight ends, both of whom bring different skills to the table. The Texans drafted Anthony Hill in the fourth round (122nd overall) out of North Carolina State. Hill, a Houston native, is a powerful blocker and will be looked upon to put those skills to use in the Texans running game. Hill caught his first career pass in Week 9 at Indianapolis (11/8). In the fifth round (152nd overall), Houston nabbed James Casey out of Rice. A sure-handed receiver with surprising speed, Casey has the ability to line up any-where on the field. Casey notched his first two career receptions in Week 8 at Buffalo (11/1).

Offensive LineThe Texans offensive line paved the way for the most prolific offense in team history in 2008, averaging 382.1 yards per game. The 32 sacks the line allowed last year were the second-fewest in franchise history, and the team’s 1,846 rushing yards were second-most in team history. Fifth-year veteran Chris Myers, who joined the team via trade last year, has started the last 41 straight games, including 25 straight at center for the Texans. Myers will be the man tasked with setting the protec-tion schemes on each play. Rookie Antoine Caldwell, the team’s third-round draft pick (77th overall) out of Alabama, has the versatility to play any of the three interior line posi-tions. He was also the only player in Alabama history to graduate in under three years, a testament to his intel-ligence. Fifth-year veteran Chris White moved into the start-ing lineup in Week 6 after Mike Brisiel was placed on the reserve/injured list. White served as the primary backup at center and guard early in the season. He has seen action in 13 games with four starts over the last

two seasons. Kasey Studdard, the team’s sixth-round pick in the 2007 draft, made his first career start in Week 3 vs. Jacksonville (9/27) after G Chester Pitts was placed on the reserve/injured list. Studdard took the majority of the reps with the first team at LG in Pitts’ place during training camp. He saw action in two games in the 2008 season and has played in 11 games with seven starts in his career.

Duane Brown, Houston’s first-round pick in 2008, start-ed every game in his rookie season at LT after he won the job during training camp. In his sophomore cam-paign, Brown will look to become more consistent. At RT, Eric Winston has started 48 consecutive games for the Texans. Winston, a third-round pick in the 2006 draft, has started every game over the last three seasons and is widely considered one of the best right tackles in the league. Fourth-year pro Rashad Butler is slated to be the primary backup at both tackle spots. Butler has played in eight career games but was inactive for all 16 con-tests a year ago. His strength and quickness allow him to block edge rushers on either side.

TEXANS ON THE MARK

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 have had the most ac-curate passing offense in the NFL. Texans quarter-backs have combined to complete 66.7 percent of their passes, which is the highest in the league.

IMPROVED PASS PROTECTION

The Houston passing attack as been one of the most dangerous in the NFL under head coach Gary Kubiak over the last two seasons. One of the biggest reasons for that efficiency has been the improved pass protec-tion by the offensive line. Since 2007, Texans quarterbacks have been sacked 69 times on 1,479 pass plays, or a mere 4.67 percent of the time. That sack percentage is tied for the sixth-best in the NFL over the last three years.

QB Matt Schaub has been one of the best quarter-backs in the NFL over the last two seasons, and that has never been more apparent than in his last 13 starts. Schaub leads the NFL with an average of 302.6 passing yards per game since the beginning of De-cember last year. His 21 touchdown passes in that span are tied for third-most, and his 100.9 passer rating is the fourth-best in the league.

QB Matt Schaub has been one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL over the last three years, completing 66.6 percent of his pass attempts. Schaub hasn’t just dinked and dunked his way down the field, however. Schaub has averaged 7.98 yards per pass at-tempt since joining the Texans in 2007, which is the second-highest in the league in that time. That aver-age would tie Hall of Famer Steve Young for fifth in NFL history. Schaub’s overall career average of 7.76 yards per attempt ranks 11th all-time.

MATT’S GAME-WINNING DRIVES

QB Matt Schaub played brilliantly in Houston’s 34-31 win at Tennessee (9/20), completing 25-of-39 passes for 357 yards and tying a franchise record with four touchdown passes. All of that would’ve been for naught, however, were it not for his play late in the fourth quarter. With the score tied at 31, Schaub led the Texans on a nine-play, 63-yard drive to set up K Kris Brown’s game-winning 23-yard field goal. The highlight of the drive was Schaub’s 44-yard strike to WR Jacoby Jones. Schaub has led four fourth-quarter game-win-ning drives since joining the Texans in 2007. Each of them have lasted eight or more plays and have covered at least 59 yards.

In his second season, Slaton’s rushing yards have dipped, but he is making up for it by taking a bigger role in the passing game. Slaton has caught 32 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns this season. His yardage total is third among NFL running backs.

2009

TEXANS VS. TITANSDEFENSIVE OVERVIEW

DEFENSIVE OVERVIEW

Houston’s defense in 2009 will take on a new look thanks to the addition of new defensive coordinator Frank Bush. Bush was promoted from his previous post as senior defensive assistant on January 13. This season marks Bush’s first opportunity to call plays on defense. He has advocated an aggressive philosophy intent on making plays in the offensive backfield. One of the biggest keys to any successful de-fense is strength up front, and the Texans have the pieces in place to field one of the best defensive fronts in team history, led by the Pro Bowl tandem of DE Ma-rio Williams and LB DeMeco Ryans.

Williams will be joined by a new face on the other end of the line. DE Antonio Smith joined the Texans as a free agent after helping the Arizona Cardinals come within seconds of winning the Super Bowl last year. Third-year DT Amobi Okoye will also play a vital role in the pass rush and is looking to bounce back from a frustrating sophomore campaign. Ryans battled injuries throughout last season but still managed to lead the team in tackles yet again. He’ll have more help in 2009 thanks to first-round draft pick Brian Cushing out of USC. Cushing excelled at rushing the passer in college, but also possesses the agility to drop into coverage. The projected starting lineup in the secondary features three returning starters, led by CBs Dunta Robinson and Jacques Reeves. Robinson is the fran-chise’s all-time leader with 13 career interceptions; and Reeves had a team-high four interceptions in 2008. The secondary is looking to improve upon its intercep-tion total of 12 last year, which tied for 21st in the NFL. Seventh-year FS Eugene Wilson is again calling the shots in the backfield, and free agent addition SS Ber-nard Pollard adds a physical presence.

DEFENSE POSITION BY POSITION

Defensive LineA year after his team-record 14-sack season in 2007, defensive end Mario Williams anchored the Texans’ defensive line with 12 sacks and was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2008. Williams finished 2008 with more sacks than any other AFC defensive end. Williams owns the franchise’s all-time sack record with 34.5 in his four-year career. Williams has a new face on the opposite end of the line this season. Antonio Smith joined the Texans as a free agent after helping the Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII. Smith notched 5.5 sacks in each of the last two years, including two in the playoffs last season. He picked up his first sack as a Texan in Hous-ton’s Week 8 win at Buffalo (11/1). Tim Bulman earned a spot on the 53-man ros-ter last year and finished second on the team with a career-high four sacks among 17 total tackles. Bulman, a converted defensive tackle, has slimmed down to 275 pounds in hopes of gaining speed and quickness. Houston spent its second-round pick (46th over-all) on Connor Barwin out of Cincinnati. Barwin brings tremendous athleticism and versatility to the position. He played tight end for three years before switching to defensive end as a senior, when he recorded 12 sacks and earned All-America honors. Barwin picked up his first career sack in Week 6 at Cincinnati (10/18). Jesse Nading was signed as a rookie free agent out of Colorado State last year and was signed to the 53-man roster late in the season. Nading recorded four tackles in six games as a rookie and looks to push for increased playing time in his second season. Rookie free agent Tim Jamison rounds out the depth chart at end after being signed to the active ros-ter on October 6. Jamison played in 50 games with 25 starts in his career at Michigan and recorded 129 ca-reer tackles and 20 sacks. Jamison has played in two games thus far in his rookie year. Defensive tackle Amobi Okoye was slowed by an ankle injury and didn’t make the jump in his second season that he had hoped for. He finished the season with 24 tackles with 15 solo stops, one sack and a forced fum-ble. Now in his third season, Okoye is still the youngest player on the Texans roster. He has recorded 1.5 sacks so far this season to give him 8.0 in his career. Houston further bolstered the interior of the line by signing Shaun Cody away from Detroit as a free agent. A second-round pick by the Lions in 2005, Cody has played in 54 games with 13 starts in his career and is coming off his best season, in which he had 37 tack-les, 26 solos and three passes defensed.

TeXAN S

2009


Seventeenth-year pro Jeff Zgonina joined the team at the beginning of training camp and earned a spot on the 53-man roster by virtue of a standout train-ing camp performance. Zgonina played in every game a year ago, starting twice, and recorded 19 tackles and a fumble recovery. Zgonina has played in 207 career games for eight teams in his career and has recorded 24.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and 13 fumble recov-eries. DelJuan Robinson made his NFL debut in the 2008 season opener at Pittsburgh and got his first start in the home opener against Indianapolis. He finished the year with 27 tackles, including 19 solos, and one forced fumble. Robinson emerged as a solid contribu-tor last year and will look to expand his role on the de-fense in 2009. Second-year tackle Frank Okam will battle for in-creased playing time in 2009. Okam finished his rookie season with four tackles in five games. Okam is the big-gest of the Texans defensive tackles and has the size and strength to anchor the middle of the line, and he’ll look to convert potential in to production in his sopho-more campaign.

LinebackersThe Texans linebacking corps will once again be an-chored by MLB DeMeco Ryans. The fourth-year star is the captain and unquestioned leader. Ryans once again led the team last season with 112 tackles and one sack while fighting a lingering ankle injury the en-tire season. He became the franchise’s all-time tackle leader in Week 7 vs. San Francisco (10/25) and now has 463 career tackles. Ryans is second in the NFL with 358 solo tackles since 2006 and has registered 10 or more tackles in 20 of his 57 career games.

Eighth-year veteran Kevin Bentley is penciled in as Ryans’ top backup in the middle. Bentley became the starting SAM linebacker last year after Zac Diles broke his leg. Bentley started seven of the final eight games and posted 34 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery. He was voted a co-captain for the special teams after he led the team with 23 special teams tack-les a year ago.

Ryans will have a new face beside him this year in rookie Brian Cushing, Houston’s first-round pick (15th overall) in last April’s draft. Cushing has started every game his rookie season and leads the team with 78 tackles. He also has two forced fumbles, two intercep-tions, a safety and 1.5 sacks so far this season.

One of the hottest position battles in training camp was at WLB, where Zac Diles ultimately won the starting job. Diles opened last year as the starter at SLB but saw his season cut short with a broken leg. Despite missing eight games, he still finished second on the team with 66 tackles. Diles has 95 tackles over the past two seasons, which ranks second on the club behind Ryans. Second-year linebacker Xavier Adibi, a fourth-round pick a year ago, started five games and had 34 tackles and a fumble recovery, earning him PFT/PFWA All-Rookie honors.

CornerbacksThis offseason, Dunta Robinson became the first play-er in Texans history to be designated as a franchise player. Robinson signed the franchise designation on September 6 and immediately reclaimed a spot in the starting lineup. Robinson is the franchise’s all-time leader with 13 career interceptions and is regarded as one of the hardest pound-for-pound hitters in the NFL. Jacques Reeves suffered a broken fibula in the first week of training camp which sidelined him for the first two games of the year, but he has played his way back into shape. Reeves led the team in interceptions

2009


a year ago with four and returned one for a 44-yard touchdown at Minnesota. He was the only member of the secondary to start all 16 games and had 50 tackles and a team-high 19 passes defensed, a testament to his ability to keep pace with most any receiver in the league. Rookie fourth-round draft pick Glover Quin moved into the starting lineup in Week 4 vs. Oakland (10/4) and has started the last six games. Quin was a three-time All-Mountain West selection at New Mexico, where he finished his career with 156 tackles, seven intercep-tions and a school-record 32 passes defensed. Fred Bennett played in every game last season, starting six, and finished with 41 tackles, two intercep-tions and two forced fumbles. Bennett has the size and strength to jam receivers at the line and also to excel in run support. Another rookie, Brice McCain, a sixth-round draft pick, worked extensively with the first team throughout traiing camp. McCain played in 49 games with 39 starts at Utah and was a three-time All-MWC pick. McCain helped the Utes to a perfect 13-0 record. Antwaun Molden, a third-round pick out of East-ern Kentucky in 2008, saw limited action on defense as a rookie but was a special teams demon, finishing second on the team with 19 special teams stops along with a fumble recovery.

SafetiesVeteran FS Eugene Wilson, who spent the previous five seasons with the New England Patriots, moved into the starting lineup midway through last season and has remained there ever since. Wilson has started 17 games over the last two years and leads the Tex-ans secondary with 87 tackles in that time span while showing good ball skills with three interceptions and 10 passes defensed.

Veteran John Busing joined the Texans in the offsea-son and will vie for playing time in a crowded second-ary. Busing has played in 36 career games, including eight last year in Cincinnati primarily as a special teams ace. He recorded his first career interception in the season opener vs. the New York Jets (9/13).

Bernard Pollard joined the Texans as free agent in the season’s third week and made his debut in Week 4 vs. Oakland (10/4). Pollard has played in 54 career games and has seven interceptions, five forced fum-bles and four fumble recoveries. He notched a career-high two interceptions in Week 9 at Indianapolis (11/8).

Second-year safety Dominique Barber played mostly on special teams as a rookie but stepped up on defense in the final two games of last season, record-ing three tackles, a pass defensed and his first-career sack. He scored his first career touchdown in this year’s season opener on a 48-yard fumble return for touchdown. Tenth-year pro Nick Ferguson will serve as the first man off the bench at both safety spots. Ferguson played in 14 games with nine starts in his first season in Houston. Ferguson provided a physical presence in run support and finished the year with 52 tackles and a forced fumble.

STINGY SCORING DEFENSE

Over the last six games, Houston’s defense has been one of the best in the NFL. In addition to ranking fourth in total defense and first in rushing defense over that time span, the Texans are fourth in scoring defense. Since the beginning of October, Houston has al-lowed a mere 17.0 points per game.

The Texans have forced their opponents to go three-and-out on 37 of 106 series, or 34.9 percent of the time. The Houston defense’s 37 three-and-out drives are the most in the NFL this year, and its 34.9 percent of three-and-out drives is also tops in the league.

DRAMATIC TURNAROUND

The Texans defense struggled early this season, giv-ing up an average of 436.7 yards and 28.7 points per game through the first three weeks of the season. The defense has improved more than any group in the league, giving up 156.7 yards per game less in the last six games than it did in the first three. Houston’s rushing defense went from a league-worst 205.0 over the first three games to a league-best 60.5 in the last six.

The turnaround is reminiscent of Houston’s 2006 de-fense. That year, Houston’s defense was last in the NFL after three games, giving up an average of 483.7 yards and 32.7 points per game.

LIMITING THE BIG PLAY

The Texans are ranked 17th in the NFL in total defense through the first 10 weeks of the season, giving up an average of 332.2 yards per game, and 15th in scoring defense, allowing an average of 20.9 points per game. One of the biggest reasons for the defense’s early struggles was a tendency to give up big plays. Houston surrendered four plays of 50 or more yards in the first three weeks of the season, all of which went for touchdowns. Tennessee RB Chris Johnson scored on runs of 57 and 91 yards and a 69-yard catch, and Jacksonville RB Maurice Jones-Drew scored on a 61-yard run. Without those four plays, which accounted for 278 yards and 28 points, Houston would rank seventh in both total defense and scoring defense.

BRIAN CRUSHING BALLCARRIERS

Rookie LB Brian Cushing has been exceptional in his first six professional starts, particularly when consid-ering the fact that he missed the entire preseason due to injury. Cushing has either led the team or tied for the team lead in tackles seven times in his first nine games. He was the first Texans rookie to lead the team in tackles in his first two games and eventually extended his franchise rookie record to four straight. Cushing leads all rookie defenders with 78 tack-les and is one of just six rookies to rank in the league’s top 100 tacklers. He recorded his first double-digit tackle perfor-mance in Houston’s 34-31 win at Tennessee (9/20) and scored the first points of his career with a safety in Houston’s 29-6 Week 4 win vs. Oakland (10/4).

BETTER WITH BERNARD

Houston’s defense has played considerably better over the last five weeks than it did in the season’s first three games. That improvement can be attributed to many things, but one significant change during that time was the addition of SS Bernard Pollard to the starting lineup. Since the hard-hitting Pollard was inserted into the starting lineup, Houston has seen its run defense go from a league-worst 205.0 yards per game to a league-best 60.5 yards per game. Overall, the defense has improved by nearly 180 yards per game since Pol-lard joined the starting lineup.

TEXANS VS. TITANSSPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

SPECIAL TEAMS OVERVIEW

K Kris Brown has led the team in scoring every year of the franchise’s existence and is the team’s all-time leading scorer with 716. Brown’s 123 points last sea-son were the most in Texans history and his .879 field goal percentage was the highest of his career. P Matt Turk has averaged 42.4 yards per punt in his career and has averaged better than 41 yards per attempt in all but one season. Turk’s 42.3-yard average last season set a Texans record, topping his 41.7-yard average from 2007. Only 391 of Turk’s 1,013 career punts (38.6 percent) have been returned. WR Jacoby Jones holds the Texans career re-cord for punt return average at 10.9 yards per return over the last three seasons. He set the Texans career and season records with two punt returns for touch-down last year. WR André Davis, like Jones, holds the franchise record for career kickoff return average at 25.6 yards per return. He also owns the single-season record for kickoffs returned for touchdown with three in 2007.

SPECIAL TEAMS BY POSITION

KickerKris Brown remains the only kicker the Texans have ever known. Brown scored 124 points last season, which was a Texans record and tied his career high set in 2001. Brown has scored 1,052 points in his 11-year career.

Punter14-year veteran Matt Turk averaged a franchise-re-cord 42.3 yards per punt last season, besting his own mark of 41.7 yards per punt in 2007. Turk’s 53 punts in 2008 were the fewest in team history, again bettering his mark of 55 from 2007.

Punt ReturnerWR Jacoby Jones emerged as one of the most danger-ous return men in the league last season. He averaged 12.1 yards per punt return, which ranked fifth in the NFL and was a franchise record. He returned two punts for touchdowns last year, which put him in a tie for third in the league.

Kickoff ReturnerWR André Davis now holds the Texans franchise re-cord for career kickoff return average at 25.6 yards per return and his three career kickoff returns for touch-down are tied for the most in franchise history. Davis has also turned in three of the five longest kickoff re-turns in team history.

TEXANS UNDER COVER

Under the guidance of special teams coordinator Joe Marciano, Houston ranks second in average yards allowed on punt returns and eighth in the league in average yards allowed on kickoff returns. The Texans are sixth in punt return average and are 14th in kickoff return average. Houston is the only team to rank in the league’s top 15 in all four categories.

WR Jacoby Jones has emerged in 2009 as one of Hous-ton’s most explosive offfensive weapons, with three touchdowns in the first four games. Jones continues to establish himself as one of the most dangerous return men in the NFL, also. Following a safety in Houston’s 29-6 Week 4 win vs. Oakland (10/4), Jones returned the free kick 95 yards for a touchdown. He tied the franchise record for total returns for touchdowns and is tied for the league lead for return touchdowns over the last two seasons.

TEXANS VS. TITANS2009 DRAFT CLASS NOTES

2009 DRAFT CLASS RECAP

Versatility was the name of the game for the Texans in the 2009 NFL Draft. Five of Houston’s seven draft picks played more than one position during their col-lege careers, led by first-round draft pick (15th overall) LB Brian Cushing out of USC. Cushing played outside linebacker and defensive end for the Trojans and fin-ished his career with 178 tackles and 8.5 sacks, plus an interception, 12 passes defensed and two blocked punts. Cushing was named a starter at SLB the day he set foot on the practice field and will be looked upon to provide a physical presence in the Texans front seven. Second-round pick DE Connor Barwin (46th overall) continued the trend of versatility. Barwin was recruited to Cincinnati as a tight end and played his first three seasons there, catching 38 passes for 539 yards and four toucheowns. Barwin was switched to defensive end before his senior season and earned All-American honors there after recording 53 tackles and 12 sacks. Barwin also played as a walk-on forward for the Bearcats basketball team. C Antoine Caldwell, the Texans third-round pick (77th overall), played four of the five offensive line po-sitions in his career at Alabama. Caldwell started 48 games for the Crimson Tide, including 34 at C, 12 at LG, one at RG and one at RT. He allowed just one sack in his final 23 games. Caldwell was also the only player in Crimson Tide history to graduate in under three years, earning his degree in Human Environmental Sciences. With their first pick in the fourth round (112th overall), the Texans selected CB Glover Quin out of New Mexico. Quin was a three-time All-Mountain West Conference selection at New Mexico and set a school record with 32 career passes defensed. Quin was the first Lobos defensive back to earn team Most Valuable Player honors since Brian Urlacher did so in 1999. Houston drafted TE Anthony Hill with its second pick in the fourth round (122nd overall). Hill, who at-tended Clear Brook High School before transferring to Hargrave Military Academy, caught 61 passes for 614 yards and one touchdown in his career at North Caro-lina State. Hill’s size (6-5, 265) allows him to excel as a blocker in addition to his pass-catching ability. After drafting Hill, the Texans picked up another tight end in the fifth round (152nd overall) in Rice TE James Casey, who was among the most versatile players in the entire 2009 draft class. A former minor-league baseball player, Casey was recruited to Rice as a linebacker but eventually played seven different positions in one game as a freshman. Casey primarily played tight end and caught 157 passes for 1,914 yards and 17 touchdowns in his two-year career. He also

played quarterback, all three receiver positions and returned punts. The sixth round (188th overall) yielded CB Brice McCain out of Utah. McCain was a three-year starter and three-time All-Mountain West choice as a defen-sive back and kick returner. He finished his career with 103 career tackles and 21 passes defensed for the Utes to go along with 37 career kick returns for 846 yards. With their seventh-round pick (223rd overall), the Texans selected S Troy Nolan out of Arizona State. Nolan started 25 games over two seasons with the Sun Devils and served as a team captain in 2008. He registered 128 tackles, 13 passes defensed and 10 in-terceptions in two seasons in Tempe and scored five touchdowns on defense. Nolan was placed on Injured Reserve with a broken hand suffered during training camp.

TEXANS GET DEFENSIVE IN FIRST

By picking LB Brian Cushing with the 15th overall pick, the Houston Texans continued a trend of using their first-round picks on the defensive side of the ball. In-cluding Cushing, the Texans have picked a defensive player with six of their nine first-round picks and in five of the last six drafts.

TEXANS DRAFTING WINNERS

Nearly all of the members of Houston’s 2009 draft class enjoyed great team success during the 2008 season. Four of the Texans draft picks played in BCS bowls and three were on the winning side. Two others also went to bowl games, and one led his team to the best record in school history. First-round pick LB Brian Cushing was a vital part of USC’s 12-1 Rose Bowl-champion team and was part of one of the most dominant defenses in recent col-lege football history. DE Connor Barwin helped lead Cincinnati to the Big East title and an Orange Bowl win over Virginia Tech, finishing 11-3. C Antoine Caldwell helped Alabama win the SEC West and finish 12-2 with a berth in the Sugar Bowl. CB Brice McCain’s Utah squad beat Caldwell and Alabama in the Sugar Bowl to cap an undefeated 13-0 season. In addition to those four, TE James Casey helped lead Rice to a 10-3 season, giving the Owls their most wins since 1949, and a win in the Texas Bowl which was the school’s first bowl victory since 1954. TE An-thony Hill helped North Carolina State to a berth in the Papajohns.com Bowl, the school’s first bowl berth since 2005. In the final Associated Press poll of the season, Utah finished second, USC was third, Alabama was sixth and Cincinnati was 17th. The eight members of the Houston Texans 2009 draft class went a combined 73-31 for a winning percentage of 70.2 percent.

CORNERING THE MARKET

Houston general manager Rick Smith has stated that he believes that a team can never have enough corner-backs, and he has lived by that philosophy in the draft. The Texans have picked a cornerback in each of the last three drafts since Smith was hired, including two this year. Houston also drafted two corners in 2004. Houston drafted CB Glover Quin in the fourth round (112th overall) and CB Brice McCain in the sixth round (188th overall) this year. Smith selected CB Fred Bennett in the fourth round (123rd overall) in 2007 and CB Antwaun Molden in the third round (79th overall).

HOUSTON TEXANS YMCA

The Houston Texans and the Greater Houston YMCA have partnered to open a new YMCA facility in the Palm Center community of Third Ward. The facility, located at the corner of Griggs Rd. and Martin Luther King Blvd., will replace the old South Central YMCA. The partnership is the first of its kind, making the new Houston Texans YMCA the first YMCA facility in the country to be named after a professional sports team. “I have admired the work done by the YMCA since my childhood in North Carolina,” said Texans founder and CEO Robert C. McNair. “We are proud to be able to support an organization that promotes health and family values, and it gives me great plea-sure to give back to a group that gave so much to me as a child.” “The level of commitment shown by the Houston Texans and owner Bob McNair will, for years to come, greatly improve the quality of life for so many Housto-nians who chose to make this YMCA branch a part of their day. The surrounding neighborhoods will benefit. For that we are grateful,” said Mayor Bill White. “We are proud of the work and the joy generated by the YMCA every day.” The new facility is the first and most visible re-sult of a larger partnership between the Texans and the YMCA. In keeping with the Texans’ stated goal of being the most community-connected professional sports franchise in the world, the team selected the YMCA as its primary strategic community partner and will work with YMCA staff to develop programming to benefit the children and the community served by the facility. Construction of the new center is expected to begin later this year, with an anticipated opening in 2010. Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak is another YMCA alumnus. “I grew up right across the street from the M.D. Anderson YMCA,” Kubiak said. “A lot of the things I learned in the sports world and grow-ing up about how to be a good kid and how to be a good person really stem from my youth growing up there.”

LIBERTY WHITE SMOKER

For the 2009 season, The Liberty White Smoker has been generously donated to the Houston Texans Foun-dation by Pitts and Spitts. The award winning “30X60” Model Smoker BBQ Pit is hand-designed and features a water-jet cut “Houston Texans” logo welded to the roll-top stainless steel lid. The smoker was autographed by the 2009 Hous-ton Texans Football team and coaches at 2009 Train-ing Camp, making it a truly one-of-a-kind piece. With a retail value of $26,000, not to mention the added value of the team signatures, the smoker will be an unbeliev-able prize for the lucky raffle ticket winner. Raffle tickets for the Liberty White Smoker are being sold for $20 each, 3 for $50, and 7 for $100 at Houston Texans home games and other Houston Tex-ans and Houston Texans Foundation events, as well as houstontexans.com. Proceeds from the raffle ticket sales support the Houston Texans Foundation. Last year, the Houston Texans Foundation raffled off a Deep Steel Blue Smoker. Over $32,000 was raised; proceeds from the raffle ticket sales supported the Houston Texans Foundation. Houston Texans G Ches-ter Pitts pulled the winning raffle ticket during the Fifth Quarter celebration in Budweiser Plaza on Fan Appre-ciation Day, presented by FS Houston.
