   HOUSTON (AP)Most of the Authentic Danny Woodhead Jersey Black offseason questions surrounding the HoustonTexans concerned Danny Woodhead Jersey On sale their defense. A day after the preseason opener, coach GaryKubiak was more worried about an alarming rash of injuries, mostly on theoffensive side.Backup running back Derrick Ward(notes) left Monday night's 20-16 win over the NewYork Jets with a concussion, and guards Antoine Caldwell(notes) and Kasey Studdard(notes) willmiss Saturday's game against New Orleans with serious ankle injuries.

Kubiak visited Ozougwu and his family on Tuesday."He Authentic Chad Ochocinco Jersey was resting and doing fine when I went to see him and his family awhile ago," Kubiak said. "Obviously, he took a pretty good shot, and so it'sgoing to take some time."Kubiak says the growing list of injuries has put him in a bindhe'd loveto replenish the roster with new players, but says that would complicatepreparations for the regular-season opener on Sept. 11."Once you get to this point in training camp, you've got to get creative,if you start to have problems like this," Kubiak said. "You're three weeksaway from putting your team together. Yeah, I'd love to go get 2-3 runningbacks, a couple of offensive linemen. That sounds easy, but that's not as easyas it sounds. We'll have to get creative in what we're Authentic Danny Woodhead Jersey Red doing going into the NewOrleans game."The defense got through Monday's game mostly unscathed, and Kubiak sawobvious progress in the unit's first game executing coordinator Wade Phillips'3-4 scheme.At the start, Premier Danny Woodhead Jersey Red all eyes were on Mario Williams(notes), who's Reebok Chad Ochocinco Jersey making amuch-ballyhooed move from defensive end to outside linebacker in the rebuiltdefense. Williams, Houston's sacks leader in each of the past five seasons, wasonly on the field for 15 snaps."I know Mario is excited with what we're doing," Kubiak said. "I talkedto him at halftime coming out of the tunnel and he told me that one of thebiggest factors in standing up in our stadium with noise and everything wasgetting off on cadence and coming off the ball quicker as compared to havingyour hand downPremier Danny Woodhead Jersey White and your ear a little closer to the football. I think you'll seehim continue to improve."The Texans produced seven sacks in the game, after getting only 30 all oflast season. And the Jets' longest pass play covered only 25 yards, anotherencouraging sign for a secondary that allowed a league-high 18 receptionscovering 40 yards or more in 2010."Our total effort on defense across Authentic Chad Ochocinco Jersey the board, I thought it wasexceptional," Kubiak said. "We got to the quarterback, we made plays on thefront end, the back end, the linebackers. The ability to rush the passer isexciting for all of us."The Texans have been impressed by the rapid progress of first-round draftpick J.J. Watt(notes), projected Premier Chad Ochocinco Jersey to start at defensive end this Danny Woodhead Jersey Outlet season. Kubiak saidWatt stood out on film from Monday's Authentic Danny Woodhead Jersey Blue game, though he wasn't credited with anytackles."He was very good," Kubiak NFL Chad Ochocinco Jersey said. "He was Replica Danny Woodhead Jersey White very active, gets his hands up,and I think he's going Replica Danny Woodhead Jersey Black to knock a lot of balls down. He doesn't play like Premier Danny Woodhead Jersey Black arookie; he's a very mature young man, so we'll up his reps this week."One of the closest competitions at camp is between punters Brett Hartmann(notes)and Brad Maynard(notes). Hartmann, a rookie, had a 52-yard punt and also handled fourkickoffs. Maynard, entering his 14th season, averaged 38.3 yards on three puntsand was the holder for Neil Rackers(notes) on two field goal attempts.Rackers connected on both field-goal attempts, from 47 and 49 yards."He's been consistent," Kubiak said of Rackers, who won the job from KrisBrown(notes) in training camp last year. "He's come back stronger this Chad Ochocinco Jersey 85 year. I don'tknow if y'all noticed, he worked really hard on himself this offseason and tookcare of himself physically."
