Mario leads the field (again)

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Mario Williams logged his sixth sack of the season Sunday, but the Texans went down hard in Cleveland. Meanwhile, neither Vince nor Reggie did much to step up and take this week’s Draft Tracker Award. Reggie did so little, in fact, that I’m not even sure where he fits on the New Orleans depth chart [...]

After a good start, things went downhill quickly in Cleveland for the Texans. The Texans offense repeatedly marched into Cleveland territory, only blow opportunities left and right. A fumble by Owen Daniels. A tipped-pass interception from Matt Schaub, and later a terrible pass from Schaub that was also intercepted. That’s three more turnovers against only [...]

Happy Thanksgiving from HoustonDiehards.com!

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

…and by all of us, I mean me. I’m up in Washington DC where it’s a full 20 degrees warmer than it is at the vast, palatial HoustonDiehards headquarters in Austin, TX. And by vast, palatial headquarters, I mean my one-bedroom apartment. Anyway, happy turkey, happy football, happy post-football nap. That late matchup between Indianapolis [...]

The running game came alive Sunday, and the Texans rode Ron Dayne’s 122 yards and a touchdown to an ugly win. While this was a desperately-needed victory for the Texans, word has come down that star cornerback Dunta Robinson is out for the season after suffering a devastating knee injury. The doctors have apparently told [...]

Midseason report card for the Texans, pt. 2

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

DEFENSE Defensive Line: D+ While the line has shown flashes of good play against the run this season, they have failed miserably to pressure the quarterback all year long. Coach Kubiak is never going to come out and say that he’s disappointed with Mario Williams, but he was drafted to sack and pressure the quarterback. [...]
