Houston Texans Morning Huddle–Johnson to Tennessee
By Josh McSwain
Here are your daily Texans stories for Saturday:
Andre Johnson signs with Tennessee by Battle Red Blog
"Is the idea of a Houston Texans icon suiting up for the team that was stolen from Houston distasteful? Sure. But as time passes, after Andre Johnson finally calls it a career, No. 80’s time as a Titan will be mere trivia, like how Hakeem Olajuwon finished his career with the Toronto Raptors."
I agree, it’s not likely that Johnson had too many options. The Titans have some talented young receivers and he could be a good veteran presence, but I don’t think he has much left to contribute on the field.

50 things to be excited for at Texans camp by John Harris, Houstontexans.com
"11. What safety can cover F-TE Stephen Anderson in one-on-ones ? (Because I’m fairly certain no linebacker can do it.)12. If healthy, rookie wide out Wendall Williams might be the fastest person I’ve ever seen live on a football field. Can he catch the ball well enough to make an impact and fight for the 53-man roster at a crowded position?13. The overall running back reps and production during pre-season of the RBs not named Lamar Miller.14. Rookie runner Tyler Ervin in the passing game, but also on punt returns."
Oh there’s a lot of things to be excited about. The influx of speed to the offense is the most exciting for me, and it comes in many forms with Ervin, Miller, Fuller and more.
Top RB the Texans will face by John Harris, Houstontexans.com
"If you made a list of the top ten RBs in the league, the Texans would avoid playing all but one or two on the list. No Todd Gurley. No Shady McCoy. No David Johnson. No Le’Veon Bell. No Doug Martin (THE MUSCLE HAMSTER!). Marshawn Lynch retired. That’s all good news. The bad news? These five (and then some), including arguably the best back in the league, are on the schedule."
Hard to argue with this list.
