One way or another, O'Brien will turn an obvious weakness on paper into a manageable situation that won't doom the team. He's that good. Anyone who saw what he did last year -- and as head coach of Penn State during trying times -- knows what I'm talking about. Plus, Houston still has a solid offensive line anchored by Duane Brown. The Texans allowed just 26 sacks last season -- the fourth-lowest total in the NFL. And Foster headlines a rushing attack that has finished in the top eight in four of the past five years. Iconic Texan Andre Johnson has left the building, but general manager Rick Smith made a couple of moves to shore up the receiving corps around emerging star DeAndre Hopkins: wisely signing Cecil Shorts in free agency and stealing Jaelen Strong in the third round of the draft.
