2007. It was the beginning of the Schaub era. It was the second year of the Kubiak system. Some of the young prospects from the 2006 draft, mainly Mario Williams and DeMarco Ryans, started to make noise on the defensive side of the ball. Andre Johnson further cemented his role as one of the best receivers in the game. It also started a string of seasons where the Texans were near misses for a winning record and/or playoff appearances. The first of consecutive 8-8 seasons started here. A squad that finished 8-8, a then-franchise-best season record, could look at the season with both pride and regret.
