Indianapolis Colts
* After losing the Super Bowl last season, the Colts come into the season with the aim to go back. There were small changes, which includes the output of offensive coordinator Tom Moore, but nothing to suggest that a fall could happen by the Colts. Offensively, Clyde Christensen takes the reins of the team and the transition appears to become turbulent. It is expected over time to a level that Peyton Manning has accustomed us, which is expected to make around 30 touchdowns and something like 4500 yards passing. To help you have a quality Receiving corps with Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, Austin Collie, Anthony Gonzalez and Dallas Clark. The two owners will be Wayne and Garcon. In 2009, Reggie Wayne got a total of 100 catches, 1264 yards Receiving and has 10 touchdowns against 47 catches, 765 yards and four touchdowns Receiving Pierre Garcon. Expect this hole to decrease, since Manning is more comfortable, to better understand the routes taken by the player from Mount Union. Manning still has one of his favorite targets, TE Dallas Clark, who made his season career, oddly enough with numbers very similar to Reggie Wayne 100 catches 1106 yards and 10 touchdowns. The defensive side, the concern is to keep Bob Sanders physically fit throughout the season. The question is which would be very difficult for the Colts win a Super Bowl without Sanders, it is one, if not the largest, part of the Colts' defensive puzzle. They were the 8th team with fewer points conceded, but for those who brand as much as the Colts score, the 8th place is a place that can boast. The ends Robert Mathis (10 sacks) and Dwight Freeney (14 sacks) will start the season on the attack, in pursuit of Matt Schaub. One of the keys to success has been the Colts' pass-rush and that it is basing its strong and effective defense. It is not expected nothing less than a repetition time for these Colts, who have been the team more regularly over the last decade.
Houston Texans
* This is the last chance to Gary Kubiak to make the playoffs. Last year the Texans had their first "winning season" since the foundation of the franchise, but that is no excuse for this year will not do better. With Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson to lead a mighty attack and DeMeco Ryans, Marion Williams and Brian Cushing to command a growing defense, this team obviously hopes to take a step forward in the past. The Schaub-Johnson combo is unstoppable and from Jacoby Jones and Kevin Walter, it is to discover whether the number two receiver. Owen Daniels is having difficulty in recovering from a knee injury and will not count towards the early days of the Texans. On the depth chart appears Joel Dreessen as the number one tight end, but I think it takes for an eye on James Casey. The second-year player from the college at Rice has capabilities in terms of pass catching and fits well in this attack. Texans went to fetch a draft halfback - Ben Tate - but had the bad luck it is injured and can not play any game this season. That means Arian Foster and Steve Slaton will be responsible for the best rushing team. Foster will be the holder and this seems to me a wise choice. With the confidence that has transpired to attach to his size and ability to do several tasks at the highest level, Foster behind the team more than the irreverent Slaton. The question is whether he can handle the 16 matches in better shape. The safety Bernard Pollard played at the highest level in 2009, being responsible for the hard hits and inspire their peers. Their presence not only gives the team a playmaker as a solid player to stop the rushing opponent. Rookie Kareem Jackson has been impressed with the progression and Glover Quin, the Texans seem likely to have a pair of future in the position of cornerback.
* The offensive line the Texans did an excellent job maintaining a consistent protective of its quarterback Matt Schaub. Schaub has only 25 sacks which is the 5th best mark in the league. The weakest part of the attack of the Texans is their rushing game that got a rating of very poor yards per carry with just 3.5 yards. Ben Tate, as I said, could be a great asset for these Texans. Even players with outstanding defensive team in Houston, and even with Droyes, the Texans could not finish the first half of the league in defensive terms. More proof that games can not be decided on paper. They had all possible weapons and failed to take best advantage of them. Ends up being a disappointment as it failed that the defense was as effective as the attack. Cushing as we know it will not be able to play the first 4 games, which draws huge potential to defensiveness where the big question is whether the corners will be up to the event. With this problem in the Texans rushing game, the Colts will take to put pressure on Matt Schaub, not worrying too much with the running game opponent. When we have a team that went to the Super Bowl the previous season. When we have a team that little or nothing has changed in relation to last season. When we have a team that has been so constant in their results over the last decade, it is difficult to bet against them. Manning will likely lead the Colts to a victory over division and another trip to the playoffs, and this trip begins this weekend when the Colts travel to Houston to play with the Texans, where more than likely come out with a win.
