Notes from Texans first preseason game

-INJURIES- Derrick Ward left game during 1st qtr, as well as two competing right guards Studdard and Caldwell

-Good pressure with new 3-4 scheme

-Offense still slow to start- granted w/o Johnson, Foster, other RBS

-Announcers were quick to praise Ogbannaya RB but didnt actually look that impressive, open on pass routes

-Pass Defense still porous though Jon Joseph is still out.- Sanchez 6 of 7 passing

-Return game dismal

-Mario Williams still in transition though alot of Jets effort were put in watching him

-Connor Barwin and Demeco Ryans are fully recovered and showing their past abilities.

-Matt Leinart played reasonably well in a limited role but as an offense there were too many underneath throws among all quarterbacks
