Len Pasquarelli on the Texans

Notes and observations from Len's ESPN Insider report after watching the Texans/Broncos practice August 10 and 11:

- Capers, Casserly and McNair have assembled "one of the NFL's most stable situations and an undeniably positive working environment"

- Carr has been sacked once every 9.6 times that he drops back to pass over the past 3 seasons. That's not surprising for those of us who have watched the Texans each week over those 3 seasons, but the number itself is still staggering to me.

- Carr, Andre Johnson and Dominick Davis are the youngest trio in NFL history to pass for 3,000 yards, catch 1,000 yards of passes and run for 1,000 yards in a single season. Pasquarelli notes that one of the Texans' biggest needs is producitivity from the #2 WR slot.

- Pasquarelli assigns much of the blame for the Texans' inability to rush the passer to Gary Walker's disappointing play and ascending age and to the Texans' front-office's blind loyalty to the aging lineman.
