Kubiak : Texans is better than any time

In 2008 and 2007, the Texans finished each season with n 8-8 record, but according to their coach Gary Kubiak, the team is no longer that average.

“We have high expectations. We’re a better team than any time since I’ve been here. We’re not going to be satisfied with another (8-8 record). I want more, a lot more. The players do, too.

“The biggest progress we made last year was on offense (third in yards, 17th in scoring), but we still need to get better. This season, we have to get our defense caught up with our offense.”

Was it real or not, we can just wait and see. Hopefully 2009 is a better year for every NFL team.

TE Daniels signed one-year contract with Texans but still wants more

Owen Daniels, a Pro Bowl tight end, just signed a one-year, $2.79 million contract with the Texans, but obviously that was not his final goal. His agents has said that Daniels should be the NFL’s highest-paid players at his position, and they are still seeking for a longer and more valuable contract.

“I’d be a little upset,” Daniels said in May about the possibility of playing for the one-year, $2.79 million tender. “I think I’ve earned more than a one-year (contract). I see myself being here for a long time. I don’t want to be anywhere else, but every player wants security.”

Daniels, 26 years old, was a third-year restricted free agent before the contract with the Texans. He caught a career-high 70 passes for 862 yards last season. He had been skipping OTAs because of contract issued for last week.
