NFL's top defensive rookie

We had to say Brian Cushing with his No.56 texans jersey was really a tackling robot for the Houston.

He did that from the first practice in training camp until the last game. That's exactly what the team sought when it chose the linebacker from USC 15th overall in the draft last April. What the Texans also got is The Associated Press 2009 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was the second Texans linebacker in four seasons to win the award. "I'm just a much smarter football player," Cushing said. "I'm much more advanced than I was this time last year, and it was just a good way to start out a career. I'm happy about how everything turned out this year. Of course, the playoffs would have been nice, but now we know what we have to do for next season."

Texans take 7-0 lead

The Houston Texans takes a 7-0 lead over the Tennessee Titans in the AFC South game Monday night.
Matt Schaub contributed a 3-yard touchdown pass to Steve Slaton that helped the Texans to get the lead after one quarter.Slaton was back to the field after the replaced.Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan and Texans receiver Kevin Walter had a excited match after Slaton’s run.Some one also got injuries during tha game,Texans starting fullback Vonta Leach left with a bruised left knee
and his return was doubtful.
To Texans, this win came timely and they need more power to go through the AFC wild-card berths.It's also the markable return of Vince Young who got 3 of 6 passes for 22 yards in the quarter. It's too sweet to see Young with his texans jersey again.
