John McClain - Gang, sorry I'm late, but I was talking to players and coaches as they came off the field. I'll try to do two hours today. Sorry I can't get to everyone's questions, and I'll try not to answer the same question twice.

Hi John. What have been your impressions of James Casey thus far?

John McClain -

[Comment From fool!]
General! What's the "general" story regarding the OTAs thus far?

12:08

John McClain -

On the first day, Casey made a diving catch. Kubiak told him that wasn't necessary, that the idea in OTAs is to keep the players off the ground. Casey has done so well so far that when he dropped a pass yesterday, his teammates gave him a hard time.

12:11

John McClain - The OTAs are used for teaching. They don't wear pads or hit. It's about new players, new coaches and a new system.

JM, Do you have a sense that the coaching staff is really excited about JJones this season or do you think their talk about his maturity is largely just reputation repair and also maybe an effort to motivate JJ?

12:12

John McClain - They're always fired up about players at this time of the year, including Jones. Check out Megan Manfull's story and Anna-Megan Raley's video on Jones. If he holds the ball, he makes it and can help the team. If he doesn't and somebody else comes along, he'll be gone. I think he'll make it.

John, How upset are the Texans with Travis Johnson, what are the chances they will just move on without him

12:14

John McClain -

He's out there every day watching and learning. He runs sprints after practice. He's the starter, and he's in the last year of his contract, and I don't see anybody beating him out.

John, who looks to be winning the starting NT job? Cody, D. Robinson, Travis, or Okam?

12:14

John McClain - Johnson.

[Comment From glen]
how do amobi okoye and duane brown look so far? are they showing any progress?

12:14

John McClain - They look great because they're not hitting or blocking or tackling anyone.

[Comment From John in Austin]
A lot of us are confusing John McClain with Brice McCain. Is it true that Brice is faster but that you are better at jamming big wideouts?

12:15

John McClain - I'm the one who runs in the low 4.3s and weighs 182.

JM, what info do you have on the progress of Molden's injured ankle? Is there long term concern and do they expect him ready for training camp?

12:17

John McClain - Nobody's told me they're worried about Molden.

12:17

[Comment From Josh (SF)]
How is Molden recovering from his broken leg? He was a demon on special teams last year, but the addition of Quin kind of signals he might be out of the mix at corner. What do you think?

12:20

John McClain - Molden is out there. They're taking it easy on him like they are Diles. Molden is in the picture at CB.
