I got there just as warmups were ending and walked over to the second field.
The middle of field had 7 on 7 drills, first Texans offense , I did see Chester Pitts at LG on a few plays. Noticed a bad pass or two from Brink. Texan receivers did pretty well. Especially JJ.
First , near on right Texans TE's , all 5, were doing a variety of blocking schemes.
Then right in front of me, the Texans DL did one on one against NO OL. They all would rotate thru, do two plays, rotate out. Barwin, Okam, Cody, and of course Mario looked best to me. Bulman, Okoye, Smith not bad. They all rushed hard on bark and got corrected if they tried to analyze or move slowly. I'd say we will get push and penetration from front four, whoever is in, if this drill was an indication of what will happen in a real game.
Latter, In 7 on 7 with NO on offense, it looked like Texas LB and DB's held their own against NO first team. Guys were rotating from field to field.
Turk was really booming the kicks on third field.
Overall, two teams seemed to have a bunch of friends on other team. NO seemed to have more of the bigger/wider guys, but Texans, perhaps looked quicker.
