TEXANS PLAYER-BY-PLAYER QUICK NOTES - DEFENSE



Gary Kubiak has constructed a talent-laden roster and installed an offensive system that has ranked among the league’s best since taking the reins of the Houston Texans in 2006. Kubiak produced the franchise’s first AFC South Division crown and playoff berth in 2011 and has a franchise-record 47 wins since being named the second head coach of the Houston Texans on Jan. 26, 2006.

Kubiak has led the Texans to the three best seasons in franchise histo-ry, going 8-8 in 2007 and 2008 before producing the first winning season in team history in 2009, narrowly missing the playoffs at 9-7. His tenure has been marked by continued offensive improvement, including team records for total offense per game in each of the last four seasons and the four highest-scoring seasons in team history. Three of the Texans’ top five defensive seasons have come under Kubiak as well. Strong team performances on

offense and defense have been sparked by some outstanding indi-vidual efforts under Kubiak. Fifteen of the 19 Pro Bowl selections in team history have come during Kubiak’s tenure and the Texans are the only team in the NFL to produce a rush-ing, receiving and passing yardage champion since Kubiak became head coach. One of Kubiak’s primary goals upon arriving in Houston was to create a

home field advantage at Reliant Stadium. The Texans have posted a 29-19 (.604) home record since 2006 and have had at least a .500 record at home in each of Kubiak’s six seasons. The team was 10-22 (.315) at home prior to Kubiak’s arrival.The Texans did not reach the playoffs in 2010, experiencing key injuries

on defense and a number of last-minute losses to finish the season 6-10. While the 2010 season fell short of expectations, it was not without its successes. The Texans set a team record for total offense for the fourth-straight season and ranked third in the NFL, averaging 386.6 yards per game. Houston was the only team to rank in the top 10 in both rushing (seventh with a team-record 127.6 yards per game) and passing (fourth with 259.0 yards per game).The offense also produced three Pro Bowl selections, with the back-

field combination of second-year running back Arian Foster and former Texans fullback Vonta Leach making their first trips to Hawaii, while wide receiver Andre Johnson fought through injury to make his fifth Pro Bowl. Foster essentially re-wrote the team single-game and sea-son rushing record books on the way to becoming the Texans’ first-ever rushing champion. The former practice squad player set an NFL record for an undrafted back with 1,616 yards rushing and also led the league with 2,220 yards from scrimmage and 18 total touchdowns.Quarterback Matt Schaub became the 12th

player in NFL history to throw for 4,000-plus yards in back-to-back seasons; and the duo be-came just the second pair of teammates in NFL history to lead the League in passing yards one year and rushing yards the next year.

HEAD COACH COMPARISON

BENGALS HEAD COACH MARVIN LEWIS

Marvin Lewis is in his ninth season as Bengals head coach, posting the longest tenure in franchise history. Lewis was the consensus choice as NFL Coach of the

Year in 2009, when the Bengals won the AFC North title while sweeping all six division games. The Bengals also won the AFC North in 2005 under Lewis.Lewis was named the ninth head coach in Bengals his-

tory on Jan. 14, 2003, becoming at the time the eighth African-American to become an NFL head coach. In recognition of the 8-8 Bengals being the NFL’s most improved team in 2003, Lewis finished second behind Bill Belichick of Super Bowl champion New England in Associated Press Coach of the Year voting.Lewis came to the Bengals with credentials as a record-setting NFL

defensive coordinator who had earned a Super Bowl championship ring. His six seasons (1996-2001) as defensive coordinator with the Balti-more Ravens included a Super Bowl victory in the 2000 season.In the 2000 regular season, Lewis’s

defense set the NFL record for few-est points allowed in a 16-game cam-paign (165), clipping 22 points off the previous mark. The 2000 Ravens are always an entry in discussions regarding the best NFL defenses of all time.In 2002, the season before he

joined the Bengals, Lewis led the Washington Redskins to a No. 5 NFL defensive ranking, serving as assis-tant head coach as well as defensive coordinator.He had his first NFL assignment from 1992-95, as linebackers coach for

the Pittsburgh Steelers.Lewis began his coaching career as linebackers coach at his alma ma-

ter, Idaho State, from 1981-84. ISU’s team (also nicknamed the Bengals) finished 12-1 during Lewis’s first season and won the NCAA Division 1-AA championship.Lewis played LB at Idaho State, earning All-Big Sky Conference honors

for three consecutive years (1978-80). He also saw action at quarter-back and free safety during his college career. He received his bach-elor’s degree in physical education from Idaho State in 1981, and earned his master’s in athletic administration in ’82. He was inducted into Idaho State’s Hall of Fame in 2001.

The Texans won 20-19 after trailing the Cincinnati Bengals16-3 at half-time to clinch their first-ever AFC South title and playoff berth.Led by their defense and rookie QB T.J. Yates, the Texans overcame a

mistake-filled first half to rally for a last-second victory against the Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium. Yates threw the game-winning 6-yard touchdown pass to WR Kevin Walter with two seconds remaining.Yates, making his second-career start and first on the road, went 26-of-44

for 300 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He saved his best for last, leading two 80-yard scoring drives in the fourth quarter. The last drive started at the Texans’ 20-yard line with 2:33 left to play,

down 19-13 and with no timeouts. Yates moved the Texans into the Cincin-nati half of the field and kept the drive alive on third-and-15 from the 40 with a 17-yard run up the middle for a first down. WR Jacoby Jones then drew a pass interference penalty on CB Adam Jones at the 6-yard line with 12 seconds remaining. After an incomplete pass intended for Walter, Yates found his man in the middle of the end zone to win the game.The Texans dug themselves a 13-point hole in a first half that included

drops on a potential touchdown pass and on a potential interception that eventually led to a Bengals field goal. In the second quarter, RB Ben Tate lost a fumble on first-and-goal from

the 1-yard line. The Bengals responded with a 97-yard touchdown drive, going up 13-3 on a 17-yard scoring pass from QB Andy Dalton to Jerome Simpson. Texans K Neil Rackers missed a 47-yard field goal in the final minute of the second quarter, and the Bengals wound up with a 49-yard field goal to go up 16-3 seconds before halftime.Houston allowed only 81 yards and six first downs after halftime. OLB Connor Barwin sparked the turnaround by sacking Dalton and forc-

ing a fumble on the first play of the third quarter. OLB Brooks Reed recov-ered at the Cincinnati 17-yard line, and Yates hit TE Joel Dreessen for a 4-yard touchdown pass four plays later.The Bengals went up 19-10 with a 28-yard field goal late in the third. In

the fourth quarter, Yates led a 13-play, 88-yard drive ending with a 33-yard Rackers field goal with 5:35 remaining. The Texans’ defense allowed two first downs before stopping the Bengals near midfield and forcing a punt.

GAME 13: Houston 20, Cincinnati 1941,202 • Paul Brown Stadium • Cincinnati, Ohio • Dec. 11, 2011



EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/GENERAL MANAGER RICK SMITH/ASSISTANT COACHES

Rick Smith is in his sixth season as Texans general manager and first as executive vice president, oversee-ing all aspects of football operations. Smith has steadily strengthened Houston’s roster during his tenure through the draft, free agency and several trades at key posi-tions. This has never been more apparent than in 2011, when the Texans had to rely on depth due to injuries at key positions on the way to the franchise’s first AFC

South title and playoff berth.Smith inherited a two-win team when he was named general manager

on June 5, 2006. Since then, he has worked closely with the coaching and scouting staffs to build the Texans into a playoff contender by iden-tifying and signing elite players who have helped produce an exciting brand of football. It was Smith who orchestrated a trade with Atlanta in 2007 that brought

quarterback Matt Schaub to Houston. Since then, Schaub has become the 12th player in NFL history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, led the NFL in passing in 2009 with 4,770 yards, was named the 2010 Pro Bowl MVP and has helped lead Houston’s offense to three-straight top-four NFL rankings. Smith’s greatest success in the draft thus far came in 2009, when the

Texans drafted Brian Cushing with the 15th overall pick. The former USC linebacker went on to earn NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl honors. Smith also signed undrafted rookie free agent running back Arian Foster in 2009. Foster had a breakout year in 2010, leading the NFL with 2,220 yards from scrimmage, 18 touchdowns scored and 1,616 yards rushing, the most ever by an undrafted player, in addition to earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. The 2011 NFL Draft presented a different set of challenges for Smith

and his staff, who had to change their perspective on evaluating pros-pects when Houston switched its defensive scheme from a 4-3 to a 3-4 following the 2010 season. For the second year in a row, Smith put to-gether a pair of draft day trades, acquiring picks from New England in the second round and Washington in the fifth round on the way to drafting six defensive players with eight overall picks. Smith continued to focus on defense during the abbreviated 2011 free-

agency period, signing former Cincinnati cornerback Johnathan Joseph and former Chicago safety and kick returner Danieal Manning. Joseph has 14 interceptions in 58 career starts, including three picks returned for touchdowns. Manning has totaled 343 tackles in 77 games with 56 career starts and led the NFL in 2008 with a 29.7 kick return average.Smith has assembled a front office staff that has the Texans pointed to-

ward sustained success in the NFL and has been active in league affairs while at the helm of the Texans. He was appointed to the NFL’s presti-gious eight-man Competition Committee by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Dec. 5, 2008. Smith was an original member of the General Managers Advisory Committee that provides advice and other feedback to the NFL Football Operations department on the integrity of the game, expansion of technology and other ways to improve the game. He has also earned recognition from his peers and was honored with the Tank Younger Award in 2008, presented annually by the Fritz Pollard Alliance for outstanding work in an NFL front office. Smith’s main philosophy has been to build through the draft and supple-

ment via free agency. Last season, 14 players who the Texans signed or acquired during Smith’s tenure started 10 or more games. Smith has also had success drafting in the later rounds, taking 19 play-

ers between the fourth and seventh rounds between 2007 and 2010. Those players have combined to start 125 games for the Texans.

FROM THE FIELD TO THE SIDELINES



HEAD COACH GARY KUBIAK QUOTES (Jan. 1, 2012)

(on QB T.J. Yates’ injury) “I have a hard time telling you exactly what happened. He’s got a bruised shoulder at this moment. He’s being eval-uated, will be evaluated this evening. We’ll get some pictures of it this evening and I’ll know more tomorrow. He could have went back in the game. Obviously I didn’t want him to go back in the game. We’ll know better where we’re at tomorrow at this point.”

(on if it is QB T.J. Yates’ throwing shoulder that is injured) “It is the other shoulder.”

(on QB Jake Delhomme) “Well he needed to play. I planned on playing him today anyway. He was playing with a lot of different guys. I would say I played a lot of people in the second half, so he was playing with a lot of different linemen, played with a different center the whole second half, but he did some good stuff. He’s played a lot of football, so he knew what he was doing. We struggled with some structure, some of the things we do offensively, which when you’re to your fourth guy, you’re going to probably struggle with some of those things. But he got plenty of work, so that’s a good thing and if he ends up having to play next week, if something happened to T.J. (Yates) next week, then get some reps under his belt, so that’s a good thing.”

(on if he was just giving the inactive players rest today) “Well, there was kind of reasons for each one. OD (Owen Daniels), his knee had been drained a few times in the past week, needed to freshen his legs, no doubt about that. The other two kind of came, Arian’s (Foster) knee was bothering him a little bit on Friday, but he could have played. The question I had, I wanted to play Andre (Johnson) 15 plays, so you play Andre 15 plays, Arian 15, we have somebody play in the game, some guys to play in the game. Those decisions were made more with J-Joe (Johnathan Joseph) and Arian from problems that we had in other areas, playing guys in the second half of the game, trying to suit up eight of-fensive linemen, trying to suit up five wide receivers.”

(on why he didn’t challenge the punt return where Titans WR Marc Mariani may have stepped out of bounds) “Well, the guys up in the box said they couldn’t tell for sure. I think we’re only talking about seven or eight yards, six, I don’t know. So, to lose a timeout in that situation over six or seven yards, trying to weigh those two against each other. That’s why I didn’t do it.”

(on if he thought about kicking the extra point at the end of the game after the false start penalty was called) “No, I didn’t. you would never go for two there in any other situation, but where we were physi-cally today, at the end of the game, I had a tight end playing Sam line-backer. For our football team, I had to get them to next week, so my mindset the whole way was to try to win the football game. Obviously, you don’t want to jump offsides and try to do it from the seven, so I was disappointed.”

(on if today was the first time G Thomas Austin has snapped the ball) “No, no, he’s snapped. He’s snapped a bunch. He had some poor ones today, but he’s snapped a bunch. He’s got enough work. That shouldn’t happen.”

(on if he still would have gone for two points at the end of the game if there was a 15-yard penalty) “I would think at some point, I probably would have kicked it.”(on OLB Bryan Braman’s injury) “He’s got a stinger. That was a tough one too. We wanted to play those young kids. He played one play, gets a sack, he goes out. I planned on resting Brooks (Reed). Brooks ends up having to play the whole football game and that’s when I put in Gar-rett Graham at Sam linebacker trying to make sure I didn’t lose Brooks and get to next week. There were some interesting dynamics going on. We played hard. Want to win the football game, we played hard. For the most part, we should have our first group healthy going into next week.”

(on what he thought about OLB Bryan Braman’s head-to-helmet hit) “I don’t know. I’ll have to see it.”

(on if he was impressed by how the team played with so many backup players playing) “Yeah, I told them after the game, I said ‘Guys, whatever disappointment you have, I got it. It’s mine. You should not be disappointed.’ We played extremely hard. We played with a lot of people. We wanted to win the football game. It was important. It was important to those guys that were playing in the second half. I’m proud of their effort, like I said. But now we got to move on and we’ve got a very, very big foot-ball game for this city and this football team and they deserve to be as healthy as they can going into it and I think for the most part, we did that.”

(on what his mindset is going into the playoffs) “Need to go win a game. My mindset, I’m ready to go. Can’t wait to get up there, but we still got to figure out who we’re going to play. Probably just like you guys, I’ll be watching a lot of football this afternoon trying to figure out what’s going on.”

(on who stuck out to him from the backup players that played to-day) “I think a lot of guys did some good stuff. It looked like, to me, (Tim) Dobbins played well. Earl (Mitchell), it looked like he played well in the game defensively. We get a big turnover there at the end of the game. I thought Derrick, Derrick played good in the game, Derrick Ward. I thought Ben (Tate) played good in the game. James Casey, we gave James a lot of opportunities to play the tight end position today and obvi-ously he stepped up and played well. There were a lot of guys hungry out there, hungry for reps and they got them and they took advantage of them.”

(on how many plays WR Andre Johnson ended up getting) “I think we played him like 18 to 20. He was somewhere right in there. But he felt good about it and he felt really good after he got going about six or seven plays. He came to me and said, ‘I really felt good those last 10.’ But it’s time to get him to next week.”

(on if he’s optimistic that WR Andre Johnson will be at full strength next week) “Yeah, I don’t think Andre’s ready to play 70 plays, but we don’t want him doing that anyway. We want him playing 45 to 50 good ones, but I think he’ll be ready to do that.”



HEAD COACH GARY KUBIAK QUOTES (Jan. 1, 2012)

(on QB T.J. Yates’ first drive of the game) “Boy I tell you, he played good. He looked like a champ. He goes down the first play. Obviously, we bust down in protection right there, but boy did he play well. He got the ball out fast. He made quick decisions, made the big third down on the third-and-10. He continues to get better and like I said, he’s going to have to play really big for us and I was proud of the way he started today. We looked like ourselves today starting as a football team.”

(on losing three consecutive games going into the playoffs) “Yeah, that’s disappointing. I disappointed in how we’ve played some of the last three weeks from a turnover standpoint and those type of things. We had the one turnover today. But you know what, this slate gets wiped away clean and it’s time to go to work. We’re one of 12 people standing. There’s some players that are very, very excited about their opportunity next week and we’re just looking forward to putting the work in and cut-ting it loose next week.”

(on how it felt to get defensive coordinator Wade Phillips back) “It was good. I could feel his presence up in the booth. He called the game from the booth. We’ve got something we got to clean up in coverage and some of those things, but obviously it was good for the staff and everybody to have him back.”

(on if the team will go full throttle now that they’re in the playoffs) “We got full throttle during that marathon too. We don’t do anything dif-ferent. The playoffs, the intensity goes up. There’s no doubt about that. That’s what makes it fun. That’s what you’re in the business for to get your opportunity to do that. I know the city’s looking forward to it. These players are really looking forward to it and after I talked to them there for a few minutes, they were very upbeat and they’re going to walk out of here today ready to go. I know they’re looking forward to it.”

(on if he talked about today’s game in the locker room or just moved on to the playoffs) “No, I did talk about it. I told them, first off, I liked the way we started the game. It looked like our football team. We started with a lot of energy. We came out fast. We stopped them once they hit the 50 and then we go right down the field, so I was excited about that. They knew, I told them that I was going to play a bunch of people on the second half of the football game, so they knew we had a lot of things going on from that standpoint. Obviously they’re disappointed. You play every game to win. When I told them what I told them that ‘Hey, we wipe it clean. I got your disappointment. You get your head up and let’s go to tomorrow,’ they understand. We’ve got about eight or 10 guys that they’re all going to have to pull form that have played in the playoff games before. I’m sure there will be a lot of questions asked this week, but the bottom line, the tempo goes up and obviously the rewards get bigger, so we’re looking forward to it.”

(on if he feels different going into the playoffs for the first time as a head coach) “No, I don’t feel any different. It’s good to be back. It’s been six years for me too since I came here and I left Denver that last year we were in the AFC Championship game. You work in this busi-ness for those opportunities and they’re great opportunities. There’s no tomorrow. You either get it done and you’re excited and you move on to the next week or you don’t. The stakes get big, but that’s why we do what we do.”

(on how important it was for the defense to work with defensive coordinator Wade Phillips before the playoffs) “I know it was impor-tant for him to be around all week, be a part of practice and everything. I know there is some disappointment there because we’ve got some coverage issues that we’ve got to clean up that I think we’re going to go back and look at today that we’re a little disappointed in. Then Wade should be feeling even stronger next week than he was this week. Make sure he goes home and gets some rest, but you know, like I said, we’re back at full throttle as coaches and about as close as we can be as a football team, player-wise.”

(on if he has any concerned that QB T.J. Yates might not be able to play next week) “I think there’s always concerns until you get back on the practice field and get ready to go. But I had confidence that he would have went back in the game for me, so that’s the best way I can answer that question for you.”
