CAMP OBJECTIVES:
Job number one for new head coach Gary Kubiak and
coordinator Mike Sherman will be to whip the Texans'
offensive unit into shape. Finding a way to protect
quarterback David Carr will be among the top directives,
with a trio of free agents - center Mike Flanagan
(Packers), guard David Loverne (Lions), and tackle
Ephraim Salaam (Jaguars) - along with a couple of
draft picks - tackles Eric Winston (Miami (FL)) and
Charles Spencer (Pittsburgh) - among those making
a serious push for starting duties there. Carr and
new arrival Eric Moulds (Bills) need to build some
chemistry in the receiving game. On defense, coordinator
Richard Smith needs No. 1 draft pick Mario Williams
(N.C. State) to develop into a major pass-rushing
threat, and will require free agent pickups Anthony
Weaver (Ravens) and N.D. Kalu (Eagles) to become a
part of the end rotation as well. The linebacking
situation should also be interesting, with free agent
acquisitions Sam Cowart (Vikings) and Barrett Green
(Giants) attempting to win jobs along with youngsters
like second-round draft choice DeMeco Ryans (Alabama).
The Texans finished last in the league in rushing
defense a year ago, so Smith's primary focus will
be within the defensive front seven.
