HOUSTON TEXANS window is closing at least on Offense...the Defense is loaded as they get Mr. CUSHING back into the fold and add ED, EDD, and EDDY at Safety...WR DRE 305 is getting Older and whose opposite of him...A QB DRIVEN League...AFC South News & Notes #TEXANSgang #TEXANSnation #HTownFootball

The Houston Texans must take that next step in the process of becoming an Elite Outfit in the NFL and it starts with QB Matt Schaub. He has all the weapons around him as he needs to start making the plays in the "Clutch" when they present themselves. Arian Foster is a Top Flight Back and arguably the best back opposite of the Twin Cities Avenger #28. They drafted DeAndre Hopkins of Clemson as he has a chance to start opposite of Andre Johnson.

Defensively it starts with JJ. Watt aka "Area 99" and he is a force onto himself. They will be even better with All-Pro Backer Brian Cushing back the Pride of Men of Troy by way of Jersey State Football Power Bergen Catholic.  Ja-Jo...CB Johnathan Joseph is an Elite CB and they add Ravens HOF to be Ed, Edd, and Eddy Reed to play alongside highly underrated Safety Daniel Manning. The pieces are there now can they cash in in 2013?

Key Players

Offense

QB Schaub
RB Arian Foster
TE O. Daniels
LT Duane Brown
C Chris Myers
WR Dre 305 Johnson
WR DeAndre Hopkins (2013 12st Round Pick Clemson)

Defense

DE Area 99
DE Antonio Smith
ILB Brian Cushing (pictured right #56)
CB Joseph
CB Kareem Jackson
SS D Manning
FS Ed Reed

Offensively they know what they need to do and how quickly can the Rook Hopkins become a factor opposite of Dre 305?

Defensively they should be better especially in the run defense as Cushing is back. What about Ed Reed (pictured below #20) and did the Texans get damaged goods as Reed is still having issues with his Hip and one would hope Ed, Edd, and Eddy will get on the field and be super-productive. Manning is one of the faster Safeties in the League and he could make up for Ed Reed's lack of mobility in some instances as this is a huge development to watch.
