New York Jets vs. Houston Texans Game Day Preview

Toeing their “we are the team to beat” company line, the Jets fly into Houston to face the always “promising” Texans. Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan continues to downplay the loss of key veterans such as FB Tony Richardson, WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Braylon Edwards, as well as talented, all purpose player, Brad Smith.

For their part, the Texans are looking at the 2011 season as yet another “playoffs or bust” year. CEO Bob McNair won’t even discuss the later. Houston was able to keep their key cogs relatively intact on offense. They also bolstered their defense (sadly needed) with DE  J.J. Watt (RD 1 – 11 OA NFL 2011 Draft) along free agents CB Johnathan Joseph and S/KR specialist Danieal Manning.
