A sports blog with Richard Justice  QB play was the difference
for the Texans in 2007.   The Texans didn’t play better defense.
Nor did they run the ball better. Yet they won more games than
they’d ever won before. I asked The General what was up with
that.  ”Can’t talk now,” he said.  Why not?  ”Got a video to
shoot.”  I had no idea what he was talking about, but having
known the guy for 30 years, I knew better than to ask about
whatever video he was planning on being in.  I actually was
going to tell him all the interesting stats I’d come up with.
The Texans came from behind to win four of their eight games and
surrendered just one fourth-quarter lead. What really
transformed the Texans in 2007 was something more basic. For
maybe the only time in franchise history, they had winning play
from the quarterback position.  Not spectacular play. Not as
good as it needs to be. Just solid play. They jumped from 27th
to 12th in passer rating between 2006 and 2007. They went from
28th to 12th in points.  David Carr m
