In the event that there was one major takeaway (not including Deshaun Watson) from my chance in West Virginia watching the Houston Texans preparing camp a week ago, it was the level of physicality. Basically anything they did wearing cushions that included player battle — drills, 11-on-11, and so forth — was executed with most extreme pop, and they even had one day of cushioned 11-on-11 where the mentors permitted handling. 

You seldom observed this when they honed in Houston, and that is likely an impact of the climate. In Houston, you're conflicting with your rival AND the warmth. In West Virginia, the warmth was a virtual non-factor. So we got some energetic hitting!Still, hitting your siblings gets exhausting before long. You need to hit somebody wearing a contradicting uniform eventually, and the Texans at last get an opportunity to do that Wednesday in Charlotte, as they will go up against the Carolina Panthers in the primary preseason round of 2017.4. J.J. Watt back in real life 

O'Brien said in his Saturday morning question and answer session that all the solid players accessible would play, and he affirmed that gathering incorporates Watt. I would anticipate that Watt will get one, MAYBE two arrangement, at most. The key here is that they keep on handling him like a typical, veteran player in preparing camp and NOT somebody nursing back damage. For the most part since he is not nursing back damage, but rather additionally on the grounds that if the back is wonky in amusement rivalry, we have to know in preparing camp, not in Week 1. 

3. Wide collectors (not named DeAndre) 

Wide collector was at that point a position with almost no experience and a huge amount of interest, and as nerve racking as Will Fuller's damage makes an officially thin profundity outline, it will be amusing to see a) how O'Brien utilizes the pieces accessible to him, and b) which players venture up to catch the metal ring. I would expect we will see a greater amount of Braxton Miller, who's been exceedingly beneficial all through camp, outwardly, and possibly Tyler Ervin working in approximately four WR sets on third down. Riley McCarron has shown up often all through camp as an opening person, and before harming his crotch, road free operator DeAndrew White was making a fast rising up the profundity outline. My point is, outside of the best three folks (Hopkins, Miller, Strong), in Fuller's nonappearance, there is a TON of chance here. 

2. Hostile line 

Any energy over the youthful aptitude folks got this offseason — for the most part, Watson and D'Onta Foreman — must be tempered by recognizing the immense, five-man question mark that is the hostile line. The beginning five, sans preparing camp holdout Duane Brown, is (left to right) Chris Clark, Xavier Su'a-Filo, Nick Martin, Jeff Allen, and Kendall Lamm. It most likely says all you have to realize that the one player that makes me feel the best of those five (Martin) hasn't played a down of NFL football in his vocation. This will likewise be our first take a gander at David Quessenberry against live NFL activity since his freshman preparing camp in 2013. Gary Kubiak was the head mentor in those days. Long time. 

1. Quarterback snap designation 

While Bill O'Brien has clarified that Tom Savage is the starter, exactly how "starter-ish" he is dealt with on Wednesday will give us a suspicion in the matter of how solid his hang at work is. In the primary preseason diversion, most normal starters get an arrangement or two preceding offering path to the reinforcement. On the off chance that Savage goes longer than that, as into the second quarter, it's could be an indication that O'Brien needs to see more from Savage. (It could likewise be a sign he simply needs the snaps under focus. Savage is not precisely a grizzled vet.) If I'm O'Brien, I figure out how to play Savage most, if not all, of the main half, have Watson for the vast majority of the second half, and let Brandon Weeden clean up toward the end. Don't imagine it any other way, however — Wednesday's amusement is about Houston's quarterback fight.
