So now offseason training has started, and we hope we got the right guys onboard to build a superbowl bound team. Could be.

I was just looking at Linebackers since this is one of places team got really thin at end of last year.

From roster at Houstontexans.com, see these 14 guys in camp now

56 Cushing, Brian ILB 6-3 255 26 4 Southern California
61 Davis, Ja'Gared ILB 6-0 238 R SMU
51 Sharpton, Darryl ILB 5-11 234 25 3 Miami (Fla.)

50 Braman, Bryan LB 6-5 251 26 2 West Texas A&M
49 Collins, Cameron LB 6-2 241 23 R Oregon State
52 Dobbins, Tim LB 6-1 236 30 7 Iowa State
59 Mercilus, Whitney LB 6-4 257 22 R Illinois
Mohamed, Mike LB 6-3 245 25 2 California

63 Jefferson, Willie OLB 6-5 233 R Stephen F. Austin
64 Johnson, Delano OLB 6-4 280 25 R Bowie State
58 Reed, Brooks OLB 6-2 250 26 2 Arizona
47 Tuggle, Justin OLB 6-3 244 R Kansas State
54 Williams, Trevardo OLB 6-1 241 R Connecticut
57 Montgomery, Sam OLB 6-3 262 22 R LSU

Seems 7 or 8 or maybe 9 of these guys will make the team.

Daryl Shapton made it for first day of OTAs, that is good to hear. Saw Cushing working out well on TV, should be ready for training camp.

Sounds like Braman, and Mercilus started at OLB and rotated with Williams and Montgomery on day 1 of OTAs, although guess everyone will get lots of reps.

And Reed and Sharpton started at ILB, rotated with others for now.

Seems the more of these guys we keep, might also help special teams.
