The clear winner of Texans Camp Day #7 on Saturday was, well, me and you and him and her and all of us, really. Why? Clouds all practice long. I feel like I’m setting up a Seinfeld skit “CLOUDS, JERRY, CLOUDS!!” Either way, the Texans took to the Houston Methodist Training Center for practice number seven and got after it again for the second straight day. And, when there’s football, I’ve got your observations – Here are my Harris Hits from practice seven. LET’S GO!
My favorite moment of today’s practice may have taken place even before the 8 am whistle blew to start the workout. Desmond King II and a few others were back catching punts off the football Jugs machine. On the final one, King II decided to amp up the difficulty level. He got in position and then he leaned forward and caught the ball over his head, behind his back. He made it look easy too and that is NOT easy at all.
Once practice started, I had my eyes focused on the OL/DL one-on-ones from the outset. The first rep between OL Laremy Tunsil and DL Mario Addison was the one that I was most waiting to see.

Excellent matchup with no absolute winner.
I mentioned OL Charlie Heck yesterday, noting the progress he’s made in his three years in Houston. Today, he took his first reps against one of the better pass rushers in camp DL Demone Harris. Heck completely stoned Harris who tried to use his cross chop move on big Charlie. Heck stayed square, replaced his outside hand when Harris chopped it and slid laterally in front of Harris to keep him from getting anywhere near the QB.
On the next rep, Heck faced DL Jerry Hughes who showed he still has the juice up the field. Hughes flew upfield, ripped underneath and bent inside to the QB.
Tunsil then faced DL Jon Greenard who tried to chop/rip on the Texans Pro Bowl OT. But, Tunsil replaced his outside hand…
