"Mario was as good as any player I've ever been around in the offseason, and I've been around this game for a long time," he said. "He was just so dominant. I can't wait to see what he's going to do this season."

On Duane Brown

"Yeah, it scares me, but there's no good time to throw someone to the wolves, is there?" coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's smart and he learns fast. He's an excellent athlete. He was on the ground only two times during the (offseason) program."

"Adibi was as good as anybody during the last 10 days of OTAs," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "We'll see if he picks up where he left off."

"Adibi could be the surprise of the team," Kubiak said. "He's fast, quick, very sharp, and he diagnoses (plays) very well."

"Molden is ahead of where Fred (Bennett) was at this time last year," coach Gary Kubiak said.

Based on everything they did during the offseason, the most improved players on the roster, according to Texans coach Gary Kubiak, are defensive tackle Amobi Okoye, guard Kasey Studdard, safety Brandon Harrison and receiver David Anderson.

Kubiak mentioned safety Glenn Earl, but because he's a former starter, he doesn't qualify as most improved. Earl suffered a foot injury in camp last year and missed the season.

"He's just been exceptional," Kubiak said.

I agree with you big.. Kubiak has good things to say about all his players. The only times I can remember him saying anything negative to the media were about Carr and his technique and confidence, TJ needing to show more motivation, and Taylor fumbling.

I dont think his comments about Mario were intended to spur competition. I think it is more of a testement of MW's improvement. I just hope he wasnt dominate because the majority of his reps were against Brown... I am sure there are alot of other factors that are comming into his evident performance increase though.

Kubiak was extremely high on Earl last year, DRob was to. I wouldnt be suprised to see him as the starter again.

If Adibi really is showing up like that Diles can probably kiss his starting spot goodbye and Greenwood will be lucky to ever see another 3rd and long. It was widely said that Adibi was a steal for us, here is to hoping that he fits the Demeco build. In fact, if Diles and Adibi were both to play very well this season that makes our LB scouting and evaluations kinda scary good.

I think he had to throw something in about Brown, everyone wants to know how he is doing and where the spot stands. Although the reports from OTA's and such about his improvement from practice to practice is very good. Going up against MW all the time should help him a ton.

It is exciting that Amobi has improved noticeably, a previous article somewhere talked about him losing the rest of his bad rookie habits. He is a very driven young man with the talent and desire and there is no reason we shouldnt expect huge things from him.

If Bennet really is as good as he appeared to be last year, and keeps it up; having a guy like Molden who is supposed to be just as good or better ready to play at that level sooner could mean a secondary to be feared rather than exploited.
