HOUSTON TEXANS
OFFSEASON GAME PLAN: There already has been a coaching change, and there will be changes in schemes and player personnel. The Texans are expected to switch to a 4-3 defense under a new coordinator. The offensive line finally will get the attention it deserves in the draft and the free-agent market. Drafting a left tackle would be a mistake in light of Chester Pitts' strong play. RB Jonathan Wells, who was the team's most versatile player this season, is a free agent and wants to return, but he likely won't if the team drafts Southern California RB Reggle Bush. QB David Carr will be back and, with better protection, likely will have a breakout season. FINAL GRADES: Offense: D. Sacks increased and points decreased despite changes in the scheme. Defense: D. The unit struggled to stop both the run and the pass. Special teams: B+. Jerome Mathis made the kick return unit formidable. Coaching: D. Dom Capers kept the team together but ended up losing his job.--Megan Manfull

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
PLAYOFF PROGNOSIS: Clinching home-field advantage early allowed the team to rest several banged-up starters, including DTs Corey Simon and Montae Reagor and FS Bob Sanders. The Colts must have all three at full strength because they make the run defense significant]y better. RT Ryan Diem (sprained MCL) is the only starter who might miss the playoffs. If he does, RG Jake Scott will more to tackle, and rookie Dylan Gandy will start at guard. FINAL GRADES: Offense: A. It was effective whether QB Peyton Manning was throwing or RB Edgerrin James was running. Defense: A-. The front four followed DE Dwight Freeney's relentless lead, and the Colts allowed 247 points, 104 fewer than they did last season. Special teams: C-. Kickoffs, coverage and returns were unsatisfactory. Coaching: A. It's hard to imagine the staff handling the hype surrounding the 13-0 start any ...
