By T.A. Mock
The Houston Texans are almost through week one of training camp. Reports are looking quite good so far, let’s take a look at five storylines to follow.
Football season is finally upon us! NFL training camps started this past week. The Houston Texans have once again set up shop at The Greenbrier in West Virginia. Escaping the Houston heat and humidity and getting away with the team seems to be a phenomenal way for the Texans to start their season.
After the first couple of days with no pads, the team got fully suited up on Saturday. This is always an important transition step for teams to take. Skill position players almost always look good without pads and you can’t get a solid read on linemen without them.
So far, the early reports are raving about the team chemistry and cohesiveness. The offensive unit is gelling extremely well early on without having to endure another quarterback battle. The defensive unit is full of hype and the clout to back it up.
It appears that these players have already fully bought into Houston Texans head coach’s, Bill O’Brien, philosophy and culture. Even though it is early into camp, there is already a small number of mistakes being made. Push-ups and last around the field have been reduced to a minimum.
So, even if the hype train surround this team has cooled off a little bit, this team has the early makings of a contender. The energy levels and chemistry have this team ready and rearing for action. All of this is great news but, there are five early storylines that are worth following in more detail, let’s dive in.
