They have their quarterback whom they feel is good enough to lead the franchise.
You have the young running back capable of being a Pro Bowler in this league and don't forget, arguably the best wide out in all of football.
What is the next step in the Texans plan to step up a notch and enter the playoffs?
With an offense becoming solidified, and a young defense on the rise, it is going well down in Houston.
The work in the draft included selecting Brian Cushing, the linebacker from USC, in the first round.
The athletic linebacker, who is going to be all over the field, was a great investment there.
The Houston Texans finished with the 22nd overall defense in the league, and frankly no team can make the postseason with those stats.
We must keep in mind that they are one of the younger defenses in the league and are a bit inexperienced.
Nonetheless, they are talented and have the pieces to make a run.
In the future years, the front office will have to make a big splash in the free agent market at some point, as they have been quiet since their inception.
Still, the fan base has developed at the stadium to see this young team play, a team who they hope can replace the ancient Houston Oilers as a team to believe in.
Playing in the NFL comes with fulfilling expectations, and the super stardom that comes along with it.
It will be a challenge, but this franchise is on the rise and is molding into one of the better teams in the league.
They shall compete once more for a playoff spot in 2009.
