Well, I think we will do better in the run game this year, but guess who was worse than Texans in run game last year - Indianapolis and San Diego, so run game must not be a top priority to make it deep into playoffs by that stat.
Perhaps scoring once inside the 20 and not turning over the ball inside the 20 would be something we can improve on just a little and have a much better record.
On the schedule, based on last year, we have to see what happens this year, last year doesn't count going forward. We have a lot of talented guys as well, just a small improvement in consistency needed for us. And we beat some so called good teams last year. We do need to win more in our division, and we can do that - been really close , now need to finish. play complete games.
We do need to win to get the respect of all the national reporters that don't know us so well. We expect this to be the year. Every year a few teams do great that national guys weren't expecting to do so well, so we can be one of those break through teams.
There are also national analysts who think we have a good team, good coaches. For instance this podcast by Gil Brandt on 610 Saturday

And here is a good game by game analysis saying we will start out 3-1, which I'll take right now. This one says we are a dark horse super bowl contender.

That's all we know for now. we got 4 preseason games to get a better view, then after 4 regular season games maybe more confidence.
