WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. -- Before the Texans started crashing into each other during their first day in full pads, Texans coach Bill O'Brien emphasized what he wanted to see.

O'Brien was looking for discipline, technique and avoiding reckless plays that could cause an injury.

He also wants the Texans to not become a magnet for penalties.
