The Houston Texans may have some uncertainty along the offensive line with the departure of veteran center Chris Myers, but head coach Bill O'Brien is confident with what he'll be getting from right guard Brandon Brooks.

O'Brien told Texans' season ticket holders that he's expecting big things from Brooks this season.

"Brandon Brooks has come back in here in great shape," O'Brien said, according to ESPN's Tania Ganguli. "He’s had a much better offseason than he did last year. He understands the expectations. I saw him lifting the other day. His squat and his bench press. I mean this guy’s a very powerful, strong person."

Brooks is entering his third year as a starter. The former third-round pick has started 15 games each of the last two seasons.

"He really finished (2014) on a good note," O'Brien said. "We’re expecting him to play really well. We have high expectations."
