Andre Johnson is a year older with no real Plan B until somebody develops.
Matt Schaub isn't any less turnover-prone.
How long can we expect Foster to stay healthy and carry the rock?

Is Ed Reed really the missing piece in the secondary? Really?
Is Brooks Reid the answer at ILB?
Will Brian Cushing be 100%?

Every team has a certain amount of question marks this time of year and I do expect a winning record and a probable AFC South title but are the Texans going to be improved on last year? I'm just not seeing it.

I'm not seeing regression. Schaub had his worst year and may repeat it but can't really do worse. Reid wasn't here last year, Cushing was already hurt last year. Basically all the problems you listed were already problems last year. Even if none get fixed its more status quo than regression.

And I say the OL will be better, Hopkins will be more productive than Walter, and we get more than 6 games out of Cushing.
