STEROIDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! That has been the main news out of the Texans’ offseason, as their star pass rusher LB Brian Cushing was suspended 4 games for violating the NFL’s drug policy by using a performance-enhancing drug (presumably steroids). Nonetheless, the Texans can surprise some people in 2010-2011, as they possess enough firepower on offense to counter the fact that they have no defense, whatsoever. Matt Schuab is coming off an all star season, in which he passes for 4k plus passing yards and threw over 30 TDs albeit almost 20 interceptions. Andre Johnson….enough said (from the U!!!!). The Texans lack a running game as Steve Slaton went through a massive sophomore slump last season, so they drafted Ben Tate to try and ignite the power running game. I don’t it will be enough, as the Texans will continue to look for the pass to win games. After all, they have all the weapons for a potent passing offense with Davis, Daniels, Slaton as a pass catcher, Johnson, and Walter.
The defense……laughable. Without Brian Cushing on the field, the Texans will need to depend on people like Zac Diles to fill in his spot, which he probably won’t do. Demeco Ryans is as solid of a MLB as they come, but he can’t stop the run game all by himself. Bernard Pollard allievated some of the run defense woes the Texans has last season, but I don’t see it happening again. Mario Williams is a top notch DE, but again he can’t stop the run all by himself. The Texans will have to step up on defense if they want to dethrone the Colts as the AFC South champions.
Prediction – I really don’t see Texans going over .500 this season, why? Just a feeling. Andre will get 1,500 receiving yards and 15 TDs though, so pick him up in Fantasy Football!
6-10 last place in AFC South

This article is making me GIGGLE! fist off i believe the TEXANS can stop the run how? well they have excellent tacklers by the names of POLLARD,DEMECO RYANS,MARIO WILLIAMS,ZAC DILES who is always making plays in the back filed he actually led the team in most minus yard plays that means he’s good at stopping a RB in the back field and i know they can’t stop the run by them selves but MAYBE IF THEY WORK AS A TEAM THEY CAN! and from what i seen of Zac Diles he hits harder than CUSHING,DEMECO AND POLLARD.
TEXANS will still make it to the playoffs they were just a win short last season all they got to do is win 10 games thats it!.
And LOL! @ 6-10 and last in the AFC SOUTH BWAHAHAHA! First i LOL’d then i SERIOUS’D!.
2ton u got issues
still thinking last? your a joke. the D was a top 5 D over the last 13 games. And btw, 15 INT's are not "almost 20 interceptions".
Stick to Madden, cuz obviously you cant even do your research to write an article. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE TRYING TO STATE FACTS!!
Idiot.
first off they were not steroids, stop hating on the texans
