Matt Camp and I talked shop with three of the best beat writers in the business: John McClain covers the Texans for the Houston Chronicle (@McClain_on_NFL on Twitter): The Texans want to be more committed to the run game in 2010, considering their high-powered offense in 2009 finished just 30th in running the football.
