Houston Texans Transcripts (5/27): Hard Knocks Press Conference & Player Availability
Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert C. McNair
(opening statement) “Well, we’re delighted that NFL Films and HBO are going to be with us for training camp. It’s a great opportunity to showcase our team. We in Houston know our team. We know our players. We know our coaches. We love them. We support them. We have great fun with it, but there are a lot of people around the country who aren’t familiar with us. So this is an opportunity for them to get to know what a great team and great organization we have. We’re delighted to have y’all with us, Ken (Rodgers).”
DE J.J. Watt
(on if he’s going to embrace being on Hard Knocks) “I’m going to play football, and that’s what I’m going to do. You can’t really change who you are. You go out there and you play the game. I think you’re a little bit different between the lines than you are off the field, that’s what makes great players great, so maybe they’ll see a little different side, but that’s the way it goes. Maybe I have to choose the vocabulary a little more wisely but that’s about all. I’m plenty sure people are sick of seeing my face now so maybe they’ll pick somebody else.”

Houston Texans Transcripts (5/9): Second Day Of Rookie Minicamp
Head Coach Bill O’Brien
(on what the rookies need to do to improve from the first day) “They have to, you know, it’s interesting that you ask that question. Last night in our offensive meeting, we put up the script for day one’s practice with all the plays and then the script for day two, today’s practice with all the plays, and then the script for what will probably be the first practice of OTAs, and then the script for what will be the first practice of training camp. It just keeps piling on. That was one of the messages this morning, was that you really have to stay ahead. You get the information sent to you on an iPad the night before in preparation for your meeting the next morning, so you really have to do a good job of staying ahead and that’s kind of what today will be about too.”

They were kind of making sure that they were taking care of their own skill set as it relates to the combine, those types of drills, the Senior Bowl and all those things...

Houston Texans Transcripts (5/2): Rick Smith and Bill O'Brien Post Draft Press Conference
Rick Smith
(on drafting DT Christian Covington despite his knee injury) “Well, we are very comfortable from a medical perspective with the knee. Obviously, we’re versed on the procedure that he went through and feel good about where his rehab is. I had an opportunity to go over and work him out, so we felt comfortable with him. He’s a young man, a very intelligent young man, a very intense young man. He comes from good pedigree, of course. Being here locally, we were able to watch him. We think we know what he can add to our football team, so good pick for us, I think.”
Bill O’Brien
(on drafting DT Christian Covington despite his knee injury) “Yeah, I agree (with Rick Smith). Our scouts worked him out. (Defensive Line Coach) Paul Pasqualoni worked him out. We felt good about what we saw a few weeks ago and we think that we have a really good vision for what he could possibly do for us, so we’re glad to have him on board.”

He was just congratulating me and just telling me that it’ll be nice to have us two back in the backfield like our old days at LSU. Me and Alfred have been close ever since we were at LSU. He showed me the way as a freshman and hopefully we have that same trait like we had at LSU. He showed me the way, how to be a professional. “

We felt like we needed to get aggressive. Bill (O’Brien) will talk about what we think about him as a player, but really excited about him. It was pretty clear that he was the guy that was still there, so we started making some calls and we were able to obviously go up and make that trade with Cleveland. So we went up and gave up a fourth (round pick) and a sixth (round pick). We felt like that was a little rich, so we were able to get a seventh back, thinking that we might be able to package that a little bit later on or get a good player in the seventh round, as well, so we did that.

Football 101: Kevin Johnson's fit
Houston Texans Transcripts: Rick Smith and Bill O'Brien (4/30)
Rick Smith
(on what stood about CB Kevin Johnson) “He was by far my favorite corner in the draft. When you talk about just a complete football player in our opinion, this guy is an intelligent guy, he’s smart, he’s tough, he can cover, he’s versatile, he plays on, he plays off, he’s got great instincts, and great play on the ball. In Indy, we really liked him in the room. We thought he was a good man and just enjoyed his career. He’s another guy that has a career there. He’s a three-year starter there. I just really like the way he plays football. He’s got good instincts, so we just really liked him. He’s a guy that we had targeted and were just really happy he was there.”
(on liking CB Kevin Johnson more than every other cornerback in the draft) “Yeah, when you can look at pictures and see this guy do everything that we’re going to ask him to do on film and you saw that on tape. That’s not taking anything away from Trae Waynes, we thought he was a great player as well. But when we’re talking about versatility and we’re talking about a guy who we saw do all the things that we’re going to ask him to do and we think he can do it in the slot and we think he can do it on the edge. When you put all those factors together and the way that he plays and how instinctive he is, that’s why he was my favorite.”
