We watched the Texans’ press conference to announce Gary Kubiak’s extension Wednesday in case any major news came from it. It didn’t, but we’re going to post some highlights anyhow.
1. Texans owner Bob McNair stressed how important continuity was because the Texans were close to being a championship team. He cited they were close in 15 of 16 games.
“I think if we’d have made the playoffs this year, we would have gone a long way,” McNair said.
2. McNair called Matt Schaub a Super Bowl caliber quarterback and believes Kubiak can take them to the big game.
3. Kubiak was asked by John McClain of the Houston Chronicle how much he was getting paid. Kubiak smiled and said, “I don’t know.” McNair said it was more than he wanted to pay, and less than Kubiak wanted.
4. Asked for areas of need, McNair mentioned running backs, the interior offensive line, defensive tackle and the secondary.
5. They wouldn’t address Dunta Robinson’s situation.
6. The Saints and Texans will continue to practice against each other in training camp.
