 HOUSTON (AP) - Gary Kubiak had gotten used to the Texans' penchant for tapping on the tables in the meeting room when they approved of or respected what he was saying. But even he was blown away by their reaction when he talked recently about rookie linebacker DeMeco Ryans.
"They banged on the tables as hard as I've heard them bang since I've been here," he said. "So I think that day our team let us know what they think of that kid and I think he's a leader, if not the leader on this team."
And on Wednesday, those outside of the organization showed their respect for Ryans when he was voted The Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year, making him the first Texan to win the honor.
