2014 Houston Thoughts Before the Season Starts

--> I wish I was confident in the possibilities for the 2014 season for the Houston Texans. The new coach seems to be all business, but I am afraid he is unimaginative and perhaps will play not to lose instead of playing to win. That may only be true because he is a realist and does not have a lot of confidence in the abilities of the team.

The offense has some exciting talent at running back and wide receiver in Arian Foster and Andre Johnson, and perhaps DeAndre Hopkins. But the offensive line is suspect and there is not a lot of suspense at quarterback. Ryan Fitzpatrick has experience and good stats when in the red zone. But he has a consistent problem with turnovers, fumbling in the double digits in many of his seasons in the league.

The defense has some truly exciting players in Watt and Cushing and Clowney. But the defensive backfield looks like it will be a sieve against the long ball.

I am anxious to see how the team does against the Redskins tomorrow in the opener. Hopefully by this time Sunday night I will have my spirits lifted about this season.
