5 takeaways from Texans training camp Day 11

The Houston Texans held their 10th practice on the 11th day of training camp, which was an evening scrimmage. Here are five takeaways.

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans held their 10th training camp practice on the 11th day of camp at Houston Methodist Training Center.

The Texans practice was different from the previous nine, as Houston held a team scrimmage Saturday night in front of a full house of fans.

David Culley wasn’t pleased by what he witnessed. The first-year head coach did not believe the Texans played well given the number of pre-snap penalties the offense committed.

“I did not get out of it from what I wanted,” Culley said. “I wanted us to be mistake-free from the standpoint of pre-snap penalties — and that did not happen. We had fewer than what we had been having, but one is too many. Our goal is to not be that kind of football team. And tonight, it killed us three times on three drives. We can’t play football that way, and we won’t play football that way.”

Here are five observations from the Texans’ practice.
