After last season when the Texans finished 9-7 and lost a playoff berth to the New York Jets on the last day of the season, coach Gary Kubiak said one objective would be to get more physical on both sides of the ball.
By the time the Texans got to training camp, Kubiak was ready for his players to take the next step toward meeting his goal.
"Our No. 1 focus in camp was to get more physical," said Kubiak, who enters his fifth season. "We hit in camp more than any time since I've been here. We tried to create a tougher environment. We want to be more physical on both sides of the ball because we think that'll help us finish (games) better.
"I'm very pleased with the results.
