Preseason takeaways, toughest roster decisions

The Texans have one more preseason game Saturday against Tampa Bay before they host Jacksonville in the first game of the regular season. I’m looking forward to the season, not because I think the Texans will be good but because they have so many new players and coaches, and I want to see how this team develops.

The Chronicle’s Texans/NFL preview section comes out next week. I’m doing a story on the plan that’s being carried out by general manager Nick Caserio and coach David Culley, why they went with so many veterans rather than a lot of rookies. I hope you find it interesting as well as our stories in our annual football section, including predictions.
