Finding a complement for Slaton high on Texans' list
Quote:
The Texans ranked a franchise-best third in NFL offense last season, averaging 382.1 yards a game, yet were 17th in scoring with 22.9 points a game. Why the discrepancy? Start with their two major deficiencies.
The Texans couldn’t protect the ball; they were minus-10 in turnover ratio, tied for 29th. And they treated the red zone like quicksand, finishing 30th in red zone scoring (78.3 percent success rate) and 26th in red zone touchdowns (45.9 percent).
“We’re looking for more good players,” coach Gary Kubiak said about the NFL draft, which comes April 25-26. “Our offense has made improvement all three years, more so this past year than any. We feel good about where we are.
“Can we get better? You bet. We’re going to try to get better on offense, but obviously, we’ve got to make some big-time improvement on the defensive side of the ball.”
Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan enters his second season in his current position. Kubiak is giving him the play-calling duties full time. Assistant head coach/offense Alex Gibbs, who oversees the running game, enters his second season.
