HOUSTON TEXANS.

This article presents information about Houston, Texas-based football team Houston Texans as of November 17, 2003. The team's defensive scheme is designed for the linemen to engage multiple blockers giving inside linebackers a clear path to the ballcarrier. But injuries on the line have made linebackers less effective. In addition, the tackling has been poor at times. RB Jonathan Wells, the team's leading rusher in 2002 season is getting some work at fullback. Wells is a physical runner capable of pounding the ball between tackles but at times he's tentative and slow through holes.
