Live Texans chat
 
12:33
ChronicleSports -  Good morning, all. John should be with us shortly.
12:33
John McClain -  Gang, before we get started on this chat, let me inform you I'm still on vacation and will do a couple of blogs this week and another chat Thursday at noon. I'm not sure about the rest of the offseason program. I can tell you, though, that I'm quite excited about the season and the Texans' prospects for having their first winning record and making the playoffs for the first time.



I watched the first of the OTAs today. Players were scattered around the field with their position coaches. Cornerback Dunta Robinson wasn't there, of course. Two rookies -- defensive end Connor Barwin and running back Jeremiah Johnson -- can't participate in the OTAs because their colleges, Cincinnati and Oregon, haven't had their graduation. What a stupid rule. Common sense should prevail on this issue.



Now, let's get this show on the road.

[Comment From The Nation]
Will we be using Anderson more as a slot receiver this year?
12:34
John McClain -  It's too early to say for sure, but I would imagine so. Remember, though, that Johnson and Walter also play well from the slot.

[Comment From Marcus]
Will James Casey's versitility allow him to be the long snapper as well as TE and H-Back which will free up an additional roster spot?
12:35
John McClain -  A long snapper can't afford to make mistakes. Clark Harris did a tremendous job in place of Bryan Pittman last season. Casey will get a lot of work in practice, and the coaches will just have to see how he can handle it. He'll have a lot on his plate, but we know he's smart enough and mature enough to handle it.

hey are we fired up about the texans? have you recharged your batteries?
12:36
John McClain -  I haven't even been off for a week, and I wrote a column last week. My batteries will recharge in June and July. And, yes, I'm excited. Real excited.

[Comment From D Frank]
John, THANKS for the chat! gosh I We enjoy it Any chance Darnell Jenkins makes the active roster
12:36
John McClain -  If a receiver like Jenkins improves on last season, he might have a chance. He's young and cheap.
