Texans hyped for Eagles

The Texans Wednesday lockerroom session
and workout were both pretty lively today.

Even defensive end Anthony Weaver, who's starting
his 5th season in the N.F.L. said he was a little
nervous about the season opener .

I compared the first game vs the Eagles to
the first day of school.
Weaver said, "Yeah we just want to be done
with the first game , get that first win,
and make a good impression in the process."

One guy who said he wasn't nervous at all,
was rookie and no. 1 draft pick, Mario Williams .

The big fella says he never gets nervous .
According to Williams , his problem is he gets to hyped .
Mario says "Sometimes my engine is running to high
and I wear myself down ."

So he will be fighting to find that happy medium
early in the game vs the Eagles .

One way Mario is relaxing is by playing Madden 2007.
He said last night , he played the Texans vs the Eagles
and he couldn't put any pressure on Donavon McNabb.

Of course , Mario hopes that's not the case on Sunday .

By the way , the big rookie added the defensive line
is racing to see who comes up with the first sack
of the year , but at this point they don't have
a bet worked out .

One other note from Wednesday's workout ,
ESPN's Kenny Mayne was on hand putting together
one of his funny stories featuring Mario Williams .
